Using Rock and Stone Around Your Home and Business

Rocks and stones are the perfect raw material for those who wish to accomplish a natural landscaping design. For centuries, crushed stones have been used to make footpaths and garden pathways, as well as roads and driveways. Many customers choose to use rocks because of the affordability, durability and low maintenance features. When rocks are used as a surface material, it acts as a barrier against both weeds and grass.

 

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to have a driveway installed at your home is to use crushed rocks. The type of crushed rock that you choose for your driveway is important because some rocks have the ability to be packed down and smoothed out, while others types of rock would cause a bumpy ride in any vehicle. The surface on which you are installing the rocks will also play a part in how well the rocks will be able to compact. If it is a moist, soft soil or sand, the rocks will compact much better. Crushed rocks can also be used to install a parking lot for your place of business.

 

Larger stones can be used for irrigation, drainage, erosion control, septic systems, pipe bedding, top dressing, spillways and retaining wall bases. Crushed rock and stones are usually delivered by a dump truck.
