Some of our quarry pit operations include:
Lawn Soil
Our lawn soil is a mix of topsoil and sand that’s perfect for getting your yard ready for sod. It spreads easily, drains well, and helps your grass take root faster. Whether you're fixing low spots or starting fresh, this blend gives your lawn a smooth, even base.
Best for:
-
Laying new sod
-
Leveling out bumpy areas
-
Getting your yard ready for fresh grass
Note: Because it’s high in nutrients, you may notice a few weeds sprouting—this is actually a good sign! Weeds commonly thrive in fertile, well-balanced soils and can act as “indicator plants” of healthy ground.
Why Weed-Free Garden Soil Isn’t Practical (or Ideal)
-
Healthy soil = weed-friendly soil. Weeds grow in the same nutrient-rich, well-draining, organic environments that vegetables and flowers love. If your garden soil supports strong plant growth, it will also support weed seeds.
-
Weed seeds are everywhere. Even if you sterilize the soil, wind, birds, tools, or your own shoes can reintroduce seeds within days.
-
Fully sterilized soil is lifeless. Commercially sterilized or chemically treated soil can suppress weeds—but it also destroys beneficial microbes, fungi, and organic matter that your garden needs to thrive.
Garden Soil
Our garden soil is a rich, organic blend designed for growing healthy plants. It holds moisture well, supports strong root growth, and is easy to spread and shape. Great for flower beds, vegetable gardens, raised planters, and greenhouses — just add your favorite plants and you're ready to go.
Best for:
-
Vegetable and flower gardens
-
Raised beds
-
Planter boxes and greenhouses

¾" Crush Road Mix
This is our most popular gravel for driveways and parking areas. It’s made with angular ¾" crushed rock blended with sand and fine gravel, which helps it pack down tight and stay in place. Once compacted, it creates a solid, stable surface that’s perfect for vehicles and foot traffic.
Best for:
-
Driveways and parking pads
-
Walkways and paths
-
Base material under concrete or paving stones
¾" Crush Road Mix
2" Crush Road Mix
This is a heavier-duty version of our road gravel, made with angular 2" crushed rock mixed with sand and fine gravel. It packs down well and creates a strong, stable base for larger driveways, roads, or construction pads. It’s also a more cost-effective option for rural driveways where larger volumes are needed. It’s great for building up depth before topping with ¾" Crush for a smoother finish.
Best for:
-
Driveway and road base
-
Parking pads for heavy equipment
-
Rural driveways (budget-friendly option)
-
Building up depth before finishing with ¾" Crush
2" Crush Road Mix
¾" Screened Road Mix
This is an affordable alternative to crushed gravel. It’s screened—not crushed—so it contains more round rock instead of angular pieces. It also has a higher amount of fine material and may include more silt than our ¾" Crush or 2" Road Mix. While it still compacts reasonably well, it won’t lock together as tightly. It's a good option for rural driveways or low-traffic areas where budget is a concern and paving isn’t planned.
Best for:
-
Driveways that won’t be paved
-
Rural or seasonal access roads
-
Budget-friendly gravel coverage
¾" Screened Road Mix
4" Minus Screened Pit Run
This is a screened, uncrushed mix of natural round rock, sand, and fines, with rock sizes up to 4 inches. It’s commonly used for building up low areas, backfilling, or creating a sub-base in large-scale projects. Since it’s screened, the material has a more consistent mix than raw pit run — but it’s not suited for finished surfaces.
Best for:
-
Filling low or uneven ground
-
Road and driveway sub-base
-
General backfill
Note: While screened to a 4" size, occasional rocks slightly larger may still be present if they pass through the screen sideways.
4" Minus Screened Pit Run
Bank Pit Run
This is raw, unprocessed material straight from the ground. It’s a natural mix of sand, rock, and fines — nothing is screened or crushed. That makes it a cost-effective option for building up large areas, backfilling, or rough grading where precision isn’t required.
Best for:
-
Backfilling trenches or large excavations
-
Building up ground levels
-
General rough grading
Note: While we aim to source material that’s approximately 8" minus, larger rocks can occasionally show up since the material is dug straight from the bank without screening.
Bank Pit Run
Bedding Sand
This is a fine sand with small stones mixed in, commonly used under concrete, paving stones, or as bedding for pipe. It spreads easily and compacts well, making it ideal for solid support. However, due to its natural silt content (typically around 7–8%), it’s not recommended where high drainage is required. Not intended for sandboxes or play areas.
Best for:
-
Concrete or paving stone base
-
Pipe bedding
-
Leveling out yards before topsoil
Bedding Sand
1" Clean Crushed Stone
This is a clean, angular crushed rock with no sand or fines — just solid 1" stone. It doesn’t compact, but it allows for excellent drainage and is easy to shovel and spread. Commonly used for bedding around pipes, backfilling foundations, or even as a decorative stone in garden beds and walkways.
Best for:
-
Bedding around pipe
-
Rocking basements or foundation drainage
-
Decorative use in flower beds or paths
-
Areas where drainage is important
1" Clean Crushed Stone
Septic Rock (¾"–3")
This is a screened, clean round rock ranging in size from about ¾" up to 3". It’s most commonly used in septic fields and for drainage around foundations, retaining walls, or other structures. The lack of fines and the larger size allow water to flow freely through the rock. It can also be used decoratively in larger garden beds or dry creek features.
Best for:
-
Septic field installations
-
Drainage around buildings or retaining walls
-
Decorative ground cover in larger spaces
-
Areas requiring effective drainage
Note: Because this material is screened, occasional rocks slightly larger than 3" may be present if they pass through the screen on edge.
Septic Rock (¾"–3")
Oversize Rock (3"–6")
This is a screened mix of clean round rock ranging from 3" to 6" in size. It’s ideal for controlling erosion, managing water runoff, or creating dry riverbeds. The larger size allows water to drain through while keeping the surface clean and tidy. It’s also popular as a bold decorative feature in landscaping.
Best for:
-
Water runoff areas or wet zones
-
Erosion control
-
Dry riverbeds or drainage swales
-
Garden accents and bold landscape features
Note: Because this material is screened, you may find occasional rocks slightly larger than 6" if they pass through the screen on edge.
Oversize Rock (3"–6")
Oversize Rock (6"–12")
This is a clean round rock, sized between 6" and 12", created by screening the material first, then separating the oversized rock using a grizzly. It’s perfect for landscape features that need both function and impact — like garden edging, dry creek beds, gabion baskets, or hand-stacked rock walls.
Best for:
-
Garden edging or accents
-
Hand-pitched walls or gabion baskets
-
Dry creek beds or runoff channels
-
Large-scale decorative ground cover
Note: While we screen this material before running it through a grizzly, the grizzly uses large slotted openings. Because of this, some rocks larger than 12" will still make it through if they pass sideways.
