Choosing the Right Driveway Material: Road Base vs. #57 Stone from Cheap Fill Dirt
Nationwide – March 24, 2025 – Cheap Fill Dirt, a trusted nationwide supplier of construction aggregates, is excited to help customers make informed decisions about their driveway materials with Road Base and #57 Stone, available at cheapfilldirt.com. Each product offers unique benefits depending on your needs, and knowing when to use them—or combine them—can lead to a driveway that’s both durable and cost-effective.
Why Choose Road Base?
Road Base, a blend of crushed stone and fines, is a budget-friendly option for creating a strong, compact foundation. Customers turn to Road Base when they need a reliable base layer for driveways handling heavy loads, such as delivery trucks or large vehicles. Its tight-packing nature prevents shifting and erosion, making it a smart choice for areas with poor soil or heavy rainfall. Often made with recycled materials like crushed concrete, Road Base also appeals to those seeking an affordable, eco-conscious solution.
Why Choose #57 Stone?
#57 Stone, a ¾-inch angular gravel, is prized for its drainage and adaptability. It’s a top choice for customers wanting a driveway surface that manages water effectively, especially in rainy regions or sloped properties. The stone’s shape provides stability for lighter traffic while allowing water to pass through, reducing pooling and wear. Left exposed, #57 Stone offers a clean, natural look that’s both practical and visually appealing.
When to Use Each – And Why Both Might Be Perfect
Your driveway’s demands determine whether Road Base or #57 Stone is right for you. Road Base excels as a foundational material for heavy-duty use or where maximum stability is needed, keeping costs low without sacrificing strength. #57 Stone, on the other hand, is better suited for lighter applications or as a finishing layer, prioritizing drainage and ease of maintenance.
For the ultimate driveway, Cheap Fill Dirt suggests using both: start with a Road Base layer for a solid foundation, then top it with #57 Stone for excellent drainage and a smooth surface. This combination is ideal for versatile, long-lasting driveways that handle diverse weather and usage patterns.
