River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Reston, VA

Virginia Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Reston, VA by the ton. Most driveways, parking pads and shed bases here start with 21A. Reston sits in Fairfax County, where clay-rich soil takes in water slowly and pushes storm runoff across the surface.

That slow drainage is why so much of what we send to Reston is washed stone instead of base material. Water needs somewhere to go, and a gravel that lets it through is often the fix.

Materials for Reston Projects

Drainage drives most of the orders we fill in Reston. Clay holds water, so downspouts, footing drains, French drains and drywells all need washed stone that stays open. Washed sizes are screened clean of fines, so water passes instead of pooling.

We stock the sizes below from coarsest to finest. Match the size to the job, not to what is left on the yard.

• #4 Crushed Stone is the heaviest of the washed sizes. Use it for construction entrances, trench bottoms and high-volume drainage where water moves fast.
• #57 Stone is the standard Virginia drainage stone at about 3/4 inch. It backfills French drains, drywells and downspout runs and tops a compacted drive.
• #67 Stone is a slightly smaller washed stone. It works for drainage trenches and concrete aggregate where 57 is a touch coarse.
• #8 Crushed Stone goes into pipe bedding, paver joints and porous backfill behind retaining walls.
• Screenings are the fine end, and they bed pavers and flagstone and level under flatwork.

For driveways, 21A is the base and Driveway Gravel is the top course. If you want a base that drains a little better and packs less tightly, that is 21B, the coarser.

Ground and Conditions in Reston

Time a delivery around the working season, not the calendar. Frozen or snow-covered ground in midwinter stops base and driveway work. Saturated clay after a thaw or a long wet spell does the same, because you cannot compact mud.

Fairfax County sets frost depth at 24 inches. Winter here swings above and below freezing often and brings more snow than most of Virginia outside the mountains, so freeze-thaw heave in gravel and base is a real factor. Build base depth for that, not for a dry week in October.

Runoff is the other half. Summer thunderstorms and the remnants of tropical systems come off paved ground fast, and bare clay on slopes and building sites sends sediment with it. RipRap on a ditch or culvert outlet, and washed stone in a French drain or drywell, give that water a path. Marine clay along the I-95 side of the region swells wet and shrinks dry, so backfill and drainage detail matter more there.

Topsoil and mulch are the other seasonal call. Screened Top Soil and Shredded Mulch go down best in spring and fall, when beds hold moisture instead of baking.

Delivery to Reston and the Surrounding Area

Virginia Rock Supply covers Reston and the rest of Fairfax County. That includes Centreville, McLean, Burke, Annandale and Oakton. Order online and pick the material and the quantity; we deliver bulk by the ton or by the yard, sized to your project.

Lead time depends on the material and the week. Washed stone moves steadily, while base and fill orders bunch up in dry spells. Ordering ahead of your excavation date is the simplest way to keep a crew working.

Tell us where the pile goes. Bulk delivery to a Reston site means a truck that needs a clear approach and enough room to spread or dump. A driveway pad, a side yard or a staging spot all work if the truck can reach them. If access is tight, say so when you order and we can talk through the options.
