National Site Materials, a trusted leader in construction aggregates, is excited to share expert guidance on selecting the right material for your driveway project. Whether you’re refreshing an existing driveway or building a new one, understanding when to use #57 stone versus a base layer is key to achieving durability and functionality.

#57 stone, known for its ¾-inch angular gravel, is ideal for driveways requiring excellent drainage and a stable, compact surface. It’s perfect for areas with heavy rainfall or for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance, aesthetically pleasing finish. Conversely, a base layer, typically composed of larger crushed stone or gravel, provides a strong foundation for driveways that will support heavy vehicles or need extra stability on uneven terrain.

Choosing the right material depends on your project’s specific needs, such as soil conditions, traffic load, and climate. National Site Materials makes this decision easier with our user-friendly online calculator, available at www.nationalsitematerial.com. By entering your driveway’s dimensions, the calculator instantly estimates the tonnage of #57 stone or base layer required, ensuring you order the perfect amount without waste or shortage.

“We’re committed to empowering our customers with the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions,” said Jessica Harper, Media Contact at National Site Materials. “Our calculator simplifies the process, saving time and money while delivering professional-grade results.”
