Sand
Builder and foundation sand for footings and slabs, washed concrete and plaster sand for mixing, and mason, fill and play sand.
Base and road base
Class 2 base (Class II), crushed miscellaneous base and road base all compact into a load bearing layer under slabs, footings, pavers and driveways.
Gravel and crushed rock
Angular crushed rock locks together and rounded gravel drains, in sizes from 3/8 in up to 1-1/2 in. Pea gravel and drain rock are in here too.
Concrete mix
Sand and rock come blended and ready to mix, with 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 3/4 in and 1 in rock.
Decomposed granite
Gold and pink DG for paths, patios, dog runs and driveways. Stabilized DG sets firmer than natural and holds up better under traffic.
Decorative rock
We stock red and black lava, arctic white, honey quartz, miners gold and river cobble for beds, borders and dry creek beds.
Topsoil, dirt, mulch and bark
Screened topsoil and topsoil blends, planter and compost mixes, screened and unscreened fill dirt, bark, mulch, shredded cedar and dyed chips are all in this category.
How far a cubic yard goes
One cubic yard is 27 cubic feet: a patio, or a single planter, depending on depth.
One cubic yard covers
| Depth | Covered by one cubic yard |
|---|---|
| 1 inch | 324 square feet |
| 2 inches | 162 square feet |
| 3 inches | 108 square feet |
| 4 inches | 81 square feet |
| 6 inches | 54 square feet |
Class 2 base compacts, so order 20 to 25 percent more than you measure.

How soon can you deliver?
Orders placed before midnight go out the next day. Delays do happen, and location plays a part, so if one hits your order we let you know. For a particular day, say so when you order or call 800‑777‑6299.
What is the minimum order?
One cubic yard. Most yards will not load less than five or ten. At the top end each 10 wheel truck holds up to 10 cubic yards of most materials, less by weight for heavier products such as Class 2 base, and anything larger goes across more than one truck.
What access does the truck need?
About 12 feet of clear width, firm level ground, and open sky over the drop spot, because the bed lifts to roughly 22 feet to tip. Watch for low wires, branches and eaves, and mark the spot with a stake or a cone. You do not need to be on site if access is clear. Ten cubic yards lands as a pile 13 to 15 feet across and 5 to 6 feet high.
How much material do I need?
Multiply length by width by depth in feet and divide by 27, or put the same numbers into the cubic yards calculator. One cubic yard spreads 324 square feet at 1 inch, 162 at 2, 108 at 3, 81 at 4 and 54 at 6. For base that will be compacted, order 20 to 25 percent more.
Why do I need to enter a ZIP code?
So the site can show what we deliver to your area, with delivery already in the price. Nothing is added at checkout.
Is delivery included in the price?
Yes. The price against each material is the delivered price. Nothing is added for freight at checkout.
What is the difference between Class 2 base and crushed rock?
Class 2 base (Class II) is a graded blend with fines in it, and the fines are what let it compact into a solid load bearing layer, so it belongs under concrete, pavers and asphalt. Crushed rock is a cleaner single size that stays loose and drains. Base to build up, crushed rock where water has to move.
What do builder sand and foundation sand mean?
They are the trade names for the sand that goes under and around foundations, footings and slabs. Depending on the spec you may want fill sand, washed concrete sand or plaster sand. If you are not sure, call 800‑777‑6299 and read us the spec.
