Need a Large Quantity? Book a Dump Truck

We deliver aggregates — 3/4" Clear Stone, Granular A, and Recycled Crushed Concrete — by the triaxle or tandem dump truck across Hamilton and the Golden Horseshoe. Perfect for driveways, parking lots, and large sub-base projects.

About These Materials

3/4" Clear Stone

Washed single-size limestone. Used for drainage layers, French drains, driveway sub-base edge drainage, and decorative gravel. Does not compact — water passes freely through it.

Density: ~1.35 t/yd³

Granular A

Well-graded crushed limestone blend. The standard sub-base material for driveways, parking lots, walkways, and interlocking pavers. Compacts to a rigid, stable base.

Density: ~1.55 t/yd³

Recycled Crushed Concrete

Crushed concrete aggregate sourced from demolition waste. Performs comparably to Granular A for sub-base applications at a lower cost. An eco-friendly alternative.

Density: ~1.45 t/yd³
