Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Broad Run, VA

Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Broad Run, VA, and the buyers here split into two groups. Contractors order by the truckload for driveways and pads, and homeowners order smaller loads for a single project. Both usually start with 21A.

Fauquier County sits on clay-rich Piedmont soil, so what you put under a driveway matters as much as what you put on top. Choosing the right materials for that ground comes first, and bulk delivery by dump truck follows.

Materials for Broad Run Projects

Most of the work in this area is driveway and base work, so that is where the material list starts. 21A is the standard Virginia driveway base. It goes down first, and everything else goes on top of it.

If you want a base that drains a little better, 21B is the coarser, lower-fines option. It packs less tightly than 21A, which suits drives and pads where water sits. Order 21A for a hard-packed base, or 21B where drainage wins out over tightness.

On top of that base, Driveway Gravel resurfaces a worn drive or tops a compacted 21A layer. For a finer, walkable finish on paths, Walkway Gravel is the better fit.

Drainage and washed stone round out the list. #57 stone is about 3/4 inch and washed, so it moves water instead of holding it, which makes it the usual pick for French drains and driveway topping. #57 Stone and Drain Rock both work behind a wall or in a downspout run.

Ground and Conditions in Broad Run

Start with where the water goes. Piedmont clay takes in water slowly, so a summer thunderstorm or the remnants of a tropical system runs off fast instead of soaking in. On a driveway, that means the base has to shed water, not trap it.

If your drive sits on bare clay with no drainage layer, water pools at the edges and the base turns soft. A clean washed stone layer, #57 stone or Drain Rock, gives that water somewhere to go before it undermines the 21A.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Sediment washes off bare clay on building sites and slopes, and stream banks scour after heavy storms. RipRap armors ditch lines, culvert outlets and slope faces against that runoff.

Timing matters too. Frozen or snow-covered ground in midwinter holds base work up, and saturated clay after a thaw is just as bad. Frost depth is set by each county, so check your locality before you plan a winter pour.

Delivery to Broad Run and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by the ton, so the first thing to settle is quantity. Measure your drive or pad in square feet, decide on depth, and order the tonnage that fills it. A thin, even layer is a reasonable starting point for a topping.

For the drop itself, have the site ready. A truck needs a clear, firm approach and a spot where it can spread or dump without sinking. Soft clay after rain is the usual delay, so pick a dry stretch if you can.
