Clovis, CA – March 24, 2025 – Clovis Site Materials, a trusted provider of high-quality construction aggregates, is excited to guide customers in selecting the perfect driveway materials with a comparison of Road Base and #57 Stone. Available through clovissitematerials.com, both options offer unique benefits depending on your project needs. Understanding when to use each—or combine them—can ensure a durable, long-lasting driveway tailored to your property.
Why Choose Road Base?
Road Base, a blend of crushed stone and fines, is an excellent foundational material designed to compact tightly and provide stability. Customers opt for Road Base when seeking a cost-effective, sturdy base layer for their driveway, especially in high-traffic areas or regions prone to heavy rainfall. Its interlocking composition resists shifting and erosion, making it ideal for supporting heavier loads like RVs or frequent vehicle use. Road Base is also a sustainable choice, often incorporating recycled materials like crushed concrete, appealing to environmentally conscious homeowners.
Why Choose #57 Stone?
#57 Stone, a crushed aggregate roughly ¾-inch in size, shines as a versatile top layer or standalone option. Its angular shape promotes excellent drainage, making it a top pick for driveways in wet climates or areas requiring water runoff management. Customers love #57 Stone for its ability to create a stable, yet permeable surface that’s perfect for lighter traffic, such as residential cars or pedestrian paths. It’s also aesthetically pleasing when left exposed, offering a clean, natural look.
When to Use Each – And Why Both Might Be Best
The choice between Road Base and #57 Stone depends on your driveway’s specific demands. Road Base is the go-to for projects needing a robust foundation, such as commercial driveways or those supporting heavy machinery. Its compact nature ensures longevity and minimizes maintenance. Conversely, #57 Stone excels in scenarios prioritizing drainage and flexibility, like rural driveways or decorative finishes.
For the ultimate driveway solution, Clovis Site Materials recommends combining both: lay a solid Road Base foundation for strength and stability, then top it with #57 Stone for superior drainage and a polished surface. This layered approach maximizes durability while addressing water management—ideal for regions with varied weather or heavy use.
