3.4 Minus Basalt Coming Soon

¾ Minus Basalt is the most popular driveway gravel during our dry season. It consists of ¾ inch size rocks and below, including rock crushing dust/fines (minus). Compacts incredibly well. Works fantastic for driveways, foundations, and pathways.

■  We are able to deliver this product year-round, however if you would like our drivers to ‘spread’ the gravel, we can only do that while the product is mostly dry. Once the product is wet, it clumps and compacts so well that it will not come out of our dump beds- making a great driveway base or pothole filler, but not great for movement. Driveway spreads are up to the discretion of our drivers and are based on driveway clearance. If you would like a spread, please let our office know at the time of booking.

■  Pro-tip: for pothole filler, remove all water and moist material from the hole and pack ¾ Minus Basalt into the area. Once wet, material will compact for a solid base. For potholes that are deeper than 3”, we would recommend starting with a larger minus rock such as 1 ½” M Basalt and then topping with ¾ M Basalt.
