In construction, the materials that form your driveways, foundations, and roads all start with one essential ingredient: gravel. Whether you call it gravel, rock, sand, or stone, these materials are all part of what’s known as aggregates. They’re the building blocks of nearly every project — from small residential jobs to large commercial and municipal work.
What Are Aggregates?
Aggregates refer to a mix of naturally occurring or crushed materials used in construction. This can include sand, crushed rock, and stone of different sizes. When blended properly, aggregates provide strength, drainage, and stability to concrete, asphalt, and road base layers.
At Skoreyko Crushing, we supply and deliver a full range of materials from our gravel pits, including screened sand, crushed rock, and decorative stone. Each type serves a specific purpose depending on the project’s design and load requirements.
Common Types of Gravel and Sand
Crushed Rock: Used for road base, building pads, and heavy-duty driveways. Crushed rock provides excellent compaction and drainage.
Screened Sand: Ideal for bedding pipes, mixing concrete, or levelling under paving stones.
Pea Gravel and Decorative Stone: Often used for landscaping, pathways, and drainage areas where both function and appearance matter.
Pit Run Gravel: A cost-effective base material used for larger fill or rural roadway construction.
Our experienced team can recommend the best material mix for each job site, ensuring your base layers are solid and built to last.
How Aggregates Are Used in Construction
From grading and excavation to finishing and hauling, aggregates play a role at every stage. They support roads, stabilize foundations, and form the base for asphalt and concrete. Gravel and sand are also key materials in backfill and drainage systems, preventing erosion and supporting long-term stability.
Because every project is different, we work closely with contractors and property owners to determine the right material type, quantity, and delivery schedule.
