Are you sprucing up your yard this spring? Choosing compacted, crushed stone for your new patio surface has a variety of benefits. Homeowners prefer this durable material for its ease of installation and attractiveness. They also enjoy its smooth, level surface that allows for a variety of outdoor activities.

When it comes to patio restoration projects, Hanson Aggregates is the Greater Cincinnati, OH, area’s preferred supplier of high-quality gravel supplies. As an ODOT certified producer of sand and gravel, and as experts with over 50 years in the business, they recommend the following types of crushed stone for your home.  

Best Types of Crushed Stone 

White Marble 

If you want to elevate your backyard aesthetic instantly, white marble chips are an excellent choice. This sparkling, crushed stone is both beautiful and dramatic and draws the eyes to your patio’s focal point. White marble chips are rocks that evoke paradise and opulence and provide alluring and endurable coverage for gardens, patio walkways, or pool areas. 

Pea Gravel

These little stone “peas” come in a spectrum of rich, luscious earth tones for every style of garden or patio. This gravel also resists weed growth, prevents erosion, and provides excellent traction. Pick this type of crushed stone when decorating a Zen garden, front yard flower bed, or backyard oasis to give off an air of peace and relaxation. 

Crushed Granite/Limestone

Crushed stone also comes in 1 ½ –2 ½ inch granite and limestone pieces. Choose from multi-color or solid options in every hue from gray to blue to orange. It’s affordable, looks attractive with pavers, and can fit nearly any space.
