Materials for Woodbury Heights Projects

A patio is only as flat as the bed under it. In this market the usual build is a compacted quarry process base, a stone dust setting bed, then the pavers. Skip the base and the surface dips within a season.

Start with QP (Quarry Process) for the base. It is a blend of 3/4 inch stone down to stone dust, and it compacts into a hard, tight layer that spreads the load of a patio or parking pad. Contractors here also call it 3/4 inch QP or DGA.

Set the pavers on Stone Dust, the fine screenings that give you a firm, level bed and fill the joints once you compact and sweep. It is the standard New Jersey setting bed over a QP base.

For drainage behind a retaining wall or under a downspout run, use #57 Stone, washed 3/4 inch clean stone with no fines to clog the voids. Add Drain Rock for French drains and drywells.

Finish walks and borders with Natural Pea Gravel, or bed a brick edge in Mason Sand.

Ground and Conditions in Woodbury Heights

Around Woodbury Heights, a base that is too thin is the usual reason paving work fails. A thin layer of stone over soft ground will not hold, and the pavers rock and settle after the first wet winter.

The fix is depth and compaction. Excavate down, then build the quarry process base in lifts and compact each one before the next. Build it up to a solid compacted thickness before you set a patio on this ground.

The soils in this belt are layered sand, silt and clay that hold water better than the sands farther southeast. Flat ground and clay layers slow drainage in low spots, so plan a fall on the patio and a drainage layer where water sits.

Summer storms, nor'easters and tropical systems back up the creeks running to the Delaware River. Runoff scours bare slopes, so armor exposed banks with riprap and keep bare ground covered until you plant or pave.

Work runs through most of the year. Frozen or waterlogged ground mainly slows base and grading work in mid-winter and after long wet spells. Frost depth is 2 ft 6 in under the NJ residential code here in Gloucester County.

Delivery to Woodbury Heights and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose tons or cubic yards. Bulk material is sold by weight, and a yard of quarry process weighs more than a yard of topsoil because the stone is denser. Pick the unit you measured in and the site will do the conversion.

Estimate quantity before you order. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, then add about 10 percent for compaction and spillage. That extra covers the base as it tightens under the plate.

We deliver bulk loads to Woodbury Heights and the rest of Gloucester County, including Glassboro, Mantua, Williamstown, Woodbury and Pitman. Tell us where the truck can drop and how far it is from the pile to the work.

Questions From Woodbury Heights Buyers

What gravel is best for a driveway in Woodbury Heights?

Quarry process is the standard base for a driveway here, compacted in lifts over a graded subbase. Top it with 3/4 inch trap rock or #57 stone for a clean, hard-wearing surface that sheds water. If you are only refreshing an existing drive, driveway gravel over a sound base works well.

How much material will my project need?

Measure length, width and depth in feet, multiply for cubic feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Add about 10 percent for compaction. For a patio base, use a solid compacted layer of quarry process, plus stone dust for the setting bed.
