Fast Material Picks for Common Tucson Projects

Use this as a starting point, then we can adjust based on your site conditions, access, and the finish you want. Tucson soils and monsoon runoff can change what works best, especially for driveways and drainage.

Driveway or parking pad
Start with base material for compaction, then finish with a top gravel or decorative rock for the look you prefer.
Drainage and runoff control
Use rip rap where water hits hard, and river rock for finished channels and dry creek beds.
Desert landscaping
Decorative rock is a durable, low-maintenance ground cover that stays clean and looks sharp year-round.
Pavers and patios
Build your base with aggregate, then use bedding sand for leveling and paver install.

Decorative Rock in Tucson

Shop Decorative Rock

Decorative rock is one of the most popular choices in Tucson for a clean, finished landscape. It holds up to heat, reduces dust in bare areas, and creates sharp borders around plants, pavers, and hardscape.

Great for

  • Desert landscaping beds and xeriscape ground cover
  • Pathways, borders, and accent bands
  • Driveway edges and transitions around patios
  • Finished swales where you want a decorative look

Best results

  • Install weed barrier fabric (overlap seams and stake it tight)
  • Use edging to prevent rock migration
  • Typical depth: 2–3 inches for full coverage
  • Order extra if you’re filling low spots or ruts

River Rock Delivery (Tucson, AZ)

Shop River Rock

River rock is a premium, smooth finish that looks natural in Tucson landscapes. It’s commonly used in dry creek beds, decorative drainage channels, and high-visibility areas where you want a clean, upscale look.

Best uses

  • Dry creek beds and decorative swales
  • Drainage corridors and runoff transitions (sized correctly)
  • Accent areas around patios, walkways, and fire pits
  • Low-dust decorative ground cover

Notes

  • Fabric underneath helps prevent sinking and soil mixing
  • Typical depth: 2–4 inches depending on size and purpose
  • In heavy monsoon flow areas, larger rock usually performs better

Rip Rap and Erosion Control Rock

View Rip Rap Options

Rip rap is the right choice when water has energy—downspouts, culverts, wash edges, slope drains, and runoff corridors. It’s designed to slow flow, protect soil, and reduce washouts in Tucson’s storm season.

Common install areas

  • Downspout discharge zones and drain outlets
  • Washes, arroyos, and seasonal flow paths
  • Culvert aprons and channel edges
  • Slope protection and erosion-prone grades

Installation basics

  • Use geotextile fabric beneath to prevent soil pumping
  • Key rock into edges to reduce undercutting
  • Rock size matters—tell us what the water is doing and we’ll guide you

Sand Delivery in Tucson

Shop Sand

Sand supports a wide range of projects—masonry, pavers, leveling, and backfill. The correct sand depends on your application: mortar sand for masonry and pavers, screened sand for general fill and grading, and bedding sand for paver systems.

Common uses

  • Paver bedding and joint sand (system-dependent)
  • Masonry work, block, stucco, and mortar mixes
  • Leveling and general backfill
  • Final smoothing prior to base install

Quick guidance

  • Pavers: compacted base first, then bedding sand
  • Drainage: sand is not a substitute for drain rock
  • Tell us the project and we’ll match the right sand type

Soil, Select Fill, and Fill Dirt

Shop Soil and Fill

Soil and fill are used for grading, leveling, and landscape prep. If you’re raising low areas, correcting slope, or building up pads, select fill and fill dirt are the workhorses—especially when compacted in lifts for stability.

Best for

  • Raising and leveling yards, pads, and low spots
  • Backfill behind walls and around trenches
  • Landscape shaping before rock or turf install
  • Planters (when using an appropriate planting mix)

Pro tip

  • Compact in lifts for drive approaches and pad builds
  • Use base material when you need structural support under traffic
  • Tell us your goal and we’ll steer you to the right option

Aggregate, Base Material, and Road Base

Shop Aggregate and Base

Aggregate is the foundation for driveways, parking pads, and durable surfaces. If you want a surface that compacts tight, resists rutting, and holds up under vehicles, start with base material—then finish with a top gravel layer if needed.

Common requests

  • Road base or base material for driveways and pads
  • Crushed rock for compaction layers
  • Drainage rock for French drains and wet zones
  • DG for pathways and decorative hardscape areas

Good results come from

  • Subgrade prep and proper drainage slope
  • Installing base in lifts and compacting each layer
  • Addressing soft spots before adding material
  • Using fabric in weak soils when appropriate

Mulch Delivery in Tucson

Shop Mulch

Mulch is ideal for planting areas where you want moisture retention and healthier soil. It helps suppress weeds, protects roots from heat, and improves soil structure over time—especially in garden beds and around trees and shrubs.

Where mulch fits best

  • Planters and garden beds
  • Tree rings (keep mulch away from the trunk)
  • Weed suppression in planting zones
  • Moisture retention around shrubs and new plantings

Application tips

  • Typical depth: 2–3 inches in planting beds
  • Use edging to keep mulch in place
  • Avoid high-flow drainage areas where mulch can wash out

Boulders Delivered to Tucson

Shop Boulders

Boulders create instant visual impact and a natural desert look. They’re commonly used for entry statements, landscape borders, dry creek transitions, and decorative retaining accents.

Great for

  • Entry features and focal points
  • Natural borders and property separation
  • Accents around river rock beds and dry creek layouts
  • Decorative retaining and slope transitions (design-dependent)

Planning tip

  • Plan a drop location and equipment for final placement
  • A mix of sizes usually looks the most natural
  • We can help estimate quantity based on your layout
