Choosing the Right Material for Your Project Made Simple at coronasitematerials.com

Corona, CA – April 03, 2025 – National Site Materials, available at coronasitematerials.com, is helping customers make informed decisions for their driveway projects by shedding light on two popular options: road base and #57 stone. Each material offers unique advantages depending on your needs, and understanding their differences can ensure a durable, long-lasting driveway.

Road base, a blend of crushed stone and fines, is an excellent choice for creating a stable foundation. Its compactable nature makes it ideal for areas with heavy traffic or poor soil conditions, as it provides superior load-bearing strength and prevents shifting over time. Customers looking to establish a solid, cost-effective base layer for their driveway often turn to road base for its reliability and ability to withstand wear.

On the other hand, #57 stone—a coarse, angular gravel approximately ¾-inch in size—excels as a top layer or standalone option for lighter-duty driveways. Its excellent drainage properties make it a go-to for areas prone to water pooling, and its uniform size creates a smooth, aesthetically pleasing surface. #57 stone is perfect for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance finish that still offers good traction.

“When deciding between road base and #57 stone, it’s all about the project’s demands,” explains Lisa Harper, Media Relations Coordinator at National Site Materials. “Road base is your heavy-duty workhorse for a strong foundation, while #57 stone shines as a versatile top layer or a standalone solution for lighter use.”

For the ultimate driveway setup, National Site Materials recommends combining both materials. Start with a compacted layer of road base to establish a firm, stable foundation, then top it with #57 stone for enhanced drainage and a polished look. This layered approach maximizes durability and performance, making it ideal for high-traffic driveways or regions with variable weather conditions.
