Compactable Sandstone Base Material

304 Sandstone Aggregate for Base Projects

Source a blend of smaller sandstone and stone fines used for compactable base layers beneath driveways, roads, patios, pathways, slabs, and retaining applications.

Include estimated tons, project location, required timing, and any material specification.

A Dense-Graded Base Starts with the Right Section

Kipton Quarry presents 304 sandstone aggregate as a compactable mixture of different particle sizes and fines. That blend helps create a stable base when the site is properly excavated, graded, placed, and compacted according to the project requirements.

Driveways

Build a compactable base layer below an appropriate finished driveway surface.

Roads & Access

Support road, access, and maintenance work requiring a stable aggregate foundation.

Patios & Pathways

Use beneath selected hardscape systems where the installer specifies a compacted base.

Slabs & Retaining Work

Consider for approved backfill or base applications around slabs, walls, and landscape construction.

Selection Guide

What Makes 304 Aggregate Different?

Unlike uniformly sized drainage stone, a 304 blend includes smaller stone and fines. During proper placement and compaction, the smaller particles fill spaces between larger particles and help form a dense layer.

  • Base, not universal surface: confirm what material will finish the project.
  • Moisture and compaction: methods should follow the installer or project specification.
  • Depth and quantity: calculate using the compacted depth and actual site area.
  • Drainage: dense-graded base and open drainage stone serve different purposes.

From Inquiry to Material

Request 304 with the Project Details Ready

  1. Describe the project. Share the intended application and who is specifying or installing the stone.
  2. Provide useful details. Include desired product or dimensions, estimated quantity, project location, and timing.
  3. Confirm current material. Kipton Quarry can discuss availability and loading considerations.
  4. Coordinate the job. Buyers remain responsible for transportation, engineering, permitting, and installation requirements unless otherwise agreed.

304 Sandstone Aggregate Questions

Kipton Quarry describes 304 as a blend of smaller sandstone and stone dust designed to compact into a stable base for selected construction and landscape applications.
No. A dense-graded 304 blend contains fines and is intended to compact. Open-graded medium stone such as ones and twos is selected when drainage voids are important.
It is commonly used in driveway and road base applications, but the full section, excavation, drainage, depth, and compaction should be confirmed for the specific site.
Send the estimated quantity or tons, project location, desired schedule, and any product specification. The quarry can confirm current availability and next logistics questions.
This page describes material supply. Installation, grading, compaction, and project design should be handled by the appropriate contractor or professional.
