Stones for Driveway Recommendation

Descant · 06-09-2018, 02:44 PM

My local (Merrmack) supplier calls it "Nit-Pack". About 3/4" granite mixed with stone dust (decomposed granite). My landscaper installed it with a Bobcat. It packs well with rain and driving. Depending on snow/ice conditions the plow doesn't tear it up much. I re-dress it every five years or so to keep it looking fresh. The supplier sells, mulch, gravel, loam etc as his only business, so it is not a garden center selling a bit here and there as a sideline. It may have a different name in Moultonborough.
