Top Driveway Stone Options That Withstand Harsh New England Weather
Choosing the right driveway stone isn’t just about appearance—it’s about long-term performance, especially in New England. With constant freeze-thaw cycles and heavy vehicle use, your driveway needs materials that offer excellent compaction, drainage, and durability.
At Ottr Landscape Supply, we recommend Dense Pack (½" to Minus) as a reliable base layer. This crushed blend binds together tightly to resist shifting and erosion. For the top layer, many homeowners go with ¾" Crushed Stone for its clean look and reliable drainage. Others prefer Crushed Concrete as a cost-effective, eco-conscious choice that still delivers strength.
If you're aiming for a more natural or decorative finish, River Rock or Pea Gravel are great—but keep in mind they may need edging to stay in place. No matter your style, Ottr delivers driveway stone in bulk across Greater Boston, helping homeowners build strong, good-looking driveways that hold up all year long.
