Dense Pack (3/4-inch to minus) and #610 Stone are the best compactable base materials we carry — dense-graded blends of crushed stone and fines that lock into a hard, load-bearing layer. Clean washed gravel stays loose on purpose; a base needs fines to bind. This is the under-everything layer beneath driveways, sheds, patios, and walkways.
Which base for which job
| Dense Pack | Driveways, parking pads, walkway and patio bases — compacts hard and sheds water |
| #610 Stone | Dense-graded blend for building pads and equipment areas — the same stone-plus-fines lock |
| Typical depth | 4–6 inches, compacted in 2-inch lifts |
Order Dense Pack or #610 Stone, and size the lift with the material calculator — both ship up to 6 cubic yards per load.
