Granite #4

$125/ton

About This Material

Granite #4 is a coarse crushed granite ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches in size. Its angular, interlocking shape makes it excellent for surface drainage and decorative applications in Tallahassee yards. Because granite does not break down easily, it maintains its appearance and function for years.

Best Uses

Driveway Topping, Drainage beds, Decorative borders, Erosion control, and Landscape accent areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Granite #4 and Granite #57?

Granite #4 is a coarse crushed granite ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 inches in size. Its angular, interlocking shape makes it excellent for surface drainage and decorative applications in Tallahassee yards. Because granite does not break down easily, it maintains its appearance and function for years.

Does Granite #4 compact well for driveways?

Not as tightly as #57 or road base — its larger size means more void space. It works well as a top dressing over a compacted base.

How much Granite #4 do I need?

About 1.5 tons per 100 sq ft at 2-inch depth. Call us for a project estimate.

Rock - Sold by the ton

Granite #57

$125/ton

About This Material

Granite #57 is the most commonly requested crushed granite size — approximately 3/4 inch. It drains well, resists compaction under vehicle traffic, and works in concrete mixes and drainage applications. Its grey tone complements most landscape styles in the Tallahassee area.

Best Uses

Driveways & parking areas, Drainage beds & French drains, Concrete aggregate, Under decks/sheds, and Walkways

Frequently Asked Questions

What does #57 mean in granite sizing?

ASTM standard #57 refers to stones mostly 3/4″ average — a widely used engineering specification for drainage and base applications.

Is Granite #57 good for a French drain?

Yes — one of the most popular choices. Its size allows water to pass through quickly while staying in place.

How many tons do I need per square foot?

At 2-inch depth, approximately 1 ton covers 80-100 square feet. Call us to confirm for your project.

Granite #89

$125/ton

About This Material

Granite #89 is a finer 3/8-inch crushed granite chip used for walkways, between stepping stones, paver base layers, and as a clean top dressing. Its smaller size fills gaps well and has a refined, finished appearance.

Best Uses

Patio & paver base, Walkways between stepping stones, Top dressing, Dog runs, and Plant bed coverage

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Granite #89 under pavers?

Yes — often used as a setting bed under pavers and stepping stones. Many contractors combine #89 with masonry sand for the ideal paver base.

Is Granite #89 good for a dog run?

It is a popular choice — smaller size is easier on paws, drains quickly, and resists odor buildup compared to mulch or dirt.

Rock - Sold by the ton

Granite Fines /W10

$100/ton

About This Material

Granite Fines (W10 or granite screenings) are crushed dust and tiny particles from granite processing. They bind together tightly when compacted and wet, making an extremely firm, stable base — often used under pavers, flagstone, or compacted path surfaces.

Best Uses

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Granite Fines and crushed granite?

Granite Fines are the smallest particles — mostly dust — sieved out from crushed granite. They compact nearly as hard as asphalt when properly installed.

Will granite fines wash away in heavy rain?

Lime Rock #4

$125/ton

About This Material

What is Lime Rock #4 used for?

Lime Rock #4 is primarily used for drainage and erosion control rather than as a driveway surface. Its coarse, open structure lets water pass through quickly while resisting displacement.
