Installation tips
- Compact in 3–4 inch lifts for driveways.
- Wet lightly before final compaction — dust helps lock the fines.
- Line trenches with filter fabric to prevent fines migration.
Ordering tips
- Confirm quarry — color varies by source.
- Round up 10–15% for irregular sub-grade.
- Get tons and yards on the ticket — quarries price both.
Common mistakes
- Using 3/4" crushed as a finish surface — it tracks and is uncomfortable to walk on.
- Skipping the fabric layer — fines migrate up and the drain clogs.
