Materials

Byproduct of steel making process, typically darker with coarse angular grains. 

Typically used for concrete work, road construction, or used underneath pavers and concrete slabs for good drainage and compaction. 

Light, natural, smooth sand. Very fine.

Used as a mortar mix for  laying bricks as well as playground and beach sand. Also can be used to topdress lawns. Washed and screened for consistency.

Coarser and less processed natural sand that can contain pebbles, clay, or other organic materials. Color can depend on local source.

Used to fill land in large grading projects like filling holes or leveling land, as well as behind retaining walls. Not screened or heavily washed. 

Natural sand that is heavily mixed with clay. Retains moisture to be sticky and dense. 

Used to build berms, ponds, or line water retention areas. Best for plans where water retention is desired. Can crackle and shrink when dried out. 

Highly compactable, angular, gray construction aggregate. Mixture of hard rock from 2" down to dusts.

Durable material for driveways, parking lots, and paver bases for patios. Can be used underneath concrete or to fill potholes. 

Processed and crushed aggregate stone. Sized ¾" down to dusts (fines). Also highly compactable. 

Commonly used for driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, and backfill. Can be a durable top dressing or foundation material. Often used as a topper for #53s. 

Angular or fine crushed stones. Ranges from ¼” to 1” in size. Great at compaction when drainage is necessary. Not dusty. 

Used typically as a top dressing for driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, and patios since it is great for low-maintenance, easy to walk on surfaces.

Course white-grey angular aggregate. Between 1½” to 4" in size. Excellent for load-bearing surfaces, foundations. Provides excellent drainage.

Used for heavy duty driveways, a base material for roads, construction entrance stabilization, and deep backfill to subgrade foundations.

Finely crushed aggregate of limestone and dust. Between ¼” to powder. When wet and compacted, it locks tightly to form a durable but permeable base layer

Used for base layers for pavers, walkways and artifical turf installs. Can be used for final grading before laying other hardscapes. Excellent backfill for trenching for pipe bedding.

Graded and washed stones. Roughly ½". Amazing drainage since there is no fine dust to become muddied or compacted.

Also used for topdressing driveways, pathways, landscaping paths, and pipe beddings. Used in asphalt and concrete production. 

Crushed iron or steel slag made as a byproduct of iron and steel smelting process. Between ¾” down to dust. Dark grey to black.

Has excellent load bearing strength and compacts well. Ideal for driveways, road bases, subgrade treatment, or a base for paving. 

Dense, angular, dark grey construction aggregate made of furnace slag and fines. Ranges from 2" to dust. May be used in lieu of #53 Limestone. 

Known for its high load-bearing strength and ability to lock together tightly for a stable, durable base. Provides excellent stability for driveway and construction sub-bases. 

Large and course angular steel byproduct. Between 1½” to 3" in size. Excellent for interlocking with high compaction abilities.

Ideal for construction entrances, industrial storage yards, and deep base layers for roadways. 

Ranges from ⅛" - ⅜" and multicolored.

Very good for drainage and makes for a beautiful walkway or ground cover.

Multicolored rocks ranging from ¾" to 1¾".

Great drainage, used for decorative borders and in mulch beds. 

Multicolored smoothed stone ranging from 2" to 2½". 

Used for dry riverbeds and retaining walls. Provides adequate drainage while maintaining more structure than similar stones. 

Multicolored rocks ranging from 3" to 8". Non-dusty.

Great for decorating focal points or making erosion control. Adequate drainage. 

Thick dirt that has some natural debris and clumped dirt chunks. Very easy to break apart.

Typically used for any and all yardwork including flowerbed bases. 

Topsoil that has been screened to remove most natural debris and most dirt chunks. Can clump up when rained on.

Used for all yard work applications. Rich thick soil is great for topdressing any dirt or flowerbeds.

Rich topsoil mixed with manures and naturally decaying organic matter. Does not smell!

Used as a booster for flowerbeds or potting plants to provide nutrient dense, happy plants. 

Completely undyed and untreated mulch made of hardwood bark. 

Completely natural and undyed hardwood bark mulch that has been ground two times. Provides a much denser and thicker mulch. Retains water the best due to its thickness.

Normal tree mulch lightly dyed. Used for water retention and protection of root systems for newly planted trees, as well as decoratively around a yard.

Normal tree mulch lightly dyed. Looks the most similar to naturally undyed mulch. Used for water retention and protection of root systems for newly planted trees, as well as decoratively around a yard.
