Siteworks

Sitework Supplier, Inc. provides materials for construction projects. The company has over 25 quarries, mines, and port locations in order to provide a great number of aggregate materials for any construction project. The materials they provide include colored shell, rock and stone, granite, sand, and rip rap, among others. Following is a brief description about some of these aggregate materials that can be used for new construction projects.

 

Colored shell mulch, an organic material, is the perfect choice for those looking for a different type of landscaping material. It is durable and low maintenance, being mold and mildew resistant and easy to clean. Shell also keeps weeds out and is not a natural habitat for any creatures. Finally, shell provides a good water flow and keeps moisture trapped in the soil better.

 

There are many types of rocks and stones to be used in construction projects. Each has different advantages and should be purchased with these in mind. Some advantages are involved in irrigation, drainage, utility work, spillways, retaining walls, driveways, asphalt, and parking areas.

 

Granite is most often used in road construction, railroad beds, and along the edge of water for both decoration and shore retention. Because granite has a higher specific gravity and doesn't absorb as many other materials, it is being used more and more often in road, port, and water projects.

 

Sand, like rock and stone, has many types and uses. It can be used in asphalt, concrete, and septic projects. It's also used in agricultural projects, as well as landscaping and landfills. Its use in construction projects, however, is common because it is a great drainage material.

 

Rip rap is composed of large stones and boulders. It is generally used at the base of projects to provide protection from erosion.
