Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Curtis Bay, MD

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Curtis Bay, MD without leaving the job. Maryland Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard, delivered. CR-6 is the base this market builds on. Around the harbor the ground runs to sand, silt and clay, so what you put under a driveway decides how it holds up.

Materials for Curtis Bay Projects

Start with the base. CR-6 is a compacting blend of crushed stone down to dust, and it carries driveways, parking pads, shed bases and paver sub-base across Maryland. Order it as CR-6 and specify the depth you need. Spread it in lifts and compact each one.

Crusher Run is the other compacting blend, listed separately from CR-6. Contractors use it for drives and base where they want the stone and dust to bind. See Crusher Run when your spec calls for it by that name.

Top the base with washed stone. #57 Stone handles drainage, French drains and driveway topping. For a smaller chip, #8 Crushed Stone works in paver joints and fine drainage.

Sand and soil round out the order. Washed Sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs. Mason sand sets brick and block. Top Soil rebuilds grade for lawns and beds after the stone work is done.

Ground and Conditions in Curtis Bay

Water drives the decisions here. Heavy summer thunderstorms and tropical storm rain run off fast into streets and stream valleys. Low harbor areas drain slowly. Plan the base so water can leave the site instead of sitting in it.

Curtis Bay sits in the independent city of Baltimore, not part of any county, on the fall line and harbor ground zone. Expect soil over hard crystalline rock in the higher northern and western parts of the city. Expect Coastal Plain sand, silt and clay in the low areas near the harbor.

That mix changes how you build. Sand and silt move under load, so a driveway on low ground needs a deeper compacted base than one cut into firm ground. Regular freeze-thaw cycles heave and crack a thin base. Frost depth is set by the city building code, and neighboring Baltimore County uses 30 inches.

Within 1,000 feet of the harbor and other tidal water, Critical Area rules limit lot coverage. That pushes more stone into less space. Stream bank scour along the Jones Falls, Gwynns Falls and other stream valleys after heavy rain, plus shore erosion on the harbor and tidal edges, is why rip rap and drainage stone get ordered together here.

Base and paver work runs spring through late fall. Freezes and wet spells in mid-winter stop compaction for short stretches.

Delivery to Curtis Bay and the Surrounding Area

Order online, by the ton or by the yard, and we drop it at the site. Bulk material arrives on a dump truck. Have the spot clear before the truck rolls in.

Point the driver to firm, level ground that can take the weight. Mark any septic, utility or irrigation lines. Leave room for the bed to raise and the load to slide out. If the truck cannot reach the work area, plan a staging spot close enough to move material by machine or wheelbarrow.

We deliver across Curtis Bay, Brooklyn and the rest of the independent city of Baltimore. Frost depth, Critical Area boundaries near tidal water and tight access all change how a load gets placed, so tell us about any of them when you order.
