FAQ

What is Dense Pack used for?

Dense Pack is a ¾-inch-to-minus base blend — crushed stone with the fines left in — used under gravel driveways, parking pads, sheds, and walkways. That stone-plus-fines mix compacts into a hard, tight surface that sheds water instead of shifting, which is exactly what a base layer is supposed to do.

Where Dense Pack works

  • Gravel driveways — a 4–6 inch compacted base under a 2–4 inch top coat
  • Shed pads and parking areas — compacts into a firm, stable platform
  • Walkway bases — a locked foundation under stone dust and pavers

Unlike washed decorative gravel, Dense Pack keeps its fines on purpose — that's what lets it lock. It delivers up to 6 cubic yards per load. Order Dense Pack ¾" to minus and size the job with the material calculator.
