Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in McKenney, VA

If you are building a driveway, setting a parking pad, or bedding a patio, you are ordering gravel and aggregate delivery in McKenney, VA.

21A is the standard Virginia driveway base, a dense-graded mix with enough fines to pack hard. Under it sits the heavy clay subsoil that drains slowly, so the base has to carry the load.

Materials for McKenney Projects

Most jobs here start with base and end with surface. Pick the material by what the layer has to do, not by what looks best in a photo.

• 21A for driveway base, parking pads, and shed or patio bases. It compacts tight and locks up under traffic. Order it as 21A.
• 21B for the same layers where you want a coarser, lower-fines mix. It drains better than 21A but packs less tightly. See 21B.
• Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive or top a compacted base. It is the wear course, so it goes on last. Shop Driveway Gravel.
• #57 stone for drainage, French drains, and driveway topping. It is a washed stone, about 3/4 inch, and it will not hold water the way a dense-graded base can. See #57 Stone.
• Screenings for paver and flagstone bedding and fine leveling under flatwork. Use them to finish grade, not to build it. Order Screenings.

Ground and Conditions in McKenney

The problem in this part of the Piedmont is water, not stone. Summer thunderstorms and the heavy rain that tropical remnants drag through drop a lot of water fast, and the red clay subsoil under McKenney sheds it instead of soaking it in.

Once that clay is bare, it erodes quickly. Cleared slopes and ditches lose soil in heavy rain, and stream banks scour after storms. That is why the base layer matters more here than the surface layer.

Build the pad up in lifts and compact each one. If you skip compaction, the clay moves under the stone and your drive ruts within a season.

Where water sits, put a drainage layer under or beside the base. Washed stone like Drain Rock gives the water somewhere to go instead of trapping it.

Timing is the other half. Saturated clay after a long wet spell is the usual hold-up, and midwinter freezes pause work for shorter spells than in the mountains. Frost depth is set by each locality, so check the figure for your county before you set base depth.

Delivery to McKenney and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Bulk material arrives on a dump truck and is tipped where you point it, so have the drop spot cleared and reachable before the truck rolls in.

Think about where the pile lands. A load of 21A set at the top of a slope will not stay there, and a pile dropped on soft ground after rain can sink. Pick a firm, dry spot close to the work.

We deliver in McKenney and across Dinwiddie County, including Dinwiddie, Church Road, Dewitt, Ford and Sutherland.
