Rock Stone and Sand Yard, RSSY, construction and decorative aggregates are a broad category of coarse to medium-grained particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag and recycled concrete.
Aggregates are the most mined materials in the world. Aggregates are a component of composite materials such as concrete and asphalt; the aggregate serves as reinforcement to add strength to the overall composite material. Due to the relatively high hydraulic conductivity value as compared to most soils, aggregates are widely used in drainage applications such as foundation and French drains, septic drain fields, retaining wall drains, and roadside edge drains.
Aggregates are also used as base material under foundations, roads, and railroads. In other words, aggregates are used as a stable foundation or road/rail base with predictable, uniform properties (e.g. to help prevent differential settling under the road or building), or as a low-cost extender that binds with more expensive cement or asphalt to form concrete.

Stack

Browns, tan, and gray are present on the outside but chipped away the outer shell to reveal vibrant reds, pink, and purple on the inside. Uses include stacked walls, boarders, fireplaces, edging, columns and even water features. If there is something you can build with rock, chances are you can use these.

Northern VA residents install permeable pavers, also known as permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP), to direct storm water to underground aquifers. Permeable pavers mimic the way natural land absorbs water. They come in a wide variety of materials which are cut into square or rectangular shapes.
With permeable concrete pavers and permeable grass pavers, any rain that falls on your patio, walkway or driveway seeps back into the ground, reducing the burden on storm drains. A permeable paver system can even be designed to harvest and recycle rainwater. With uncompromised durability, permeable pavers are great for areas with high foot or vehicle traffic such as residential driveways and patios.
While your residential project may function well with conventional paving, you’ll find that permeable concrete offers many benefits for smaller home spaces. Call us (703) 339-8095 for pricing or more details and visit our website for additional images and product details.
