Sand & Gravel in Connecticut (Base, Drainage, Pavers & Driveways)
Need sand and gravel in CT for a patio base, driveway, drainage work, or concrete/paver install? Grillo Services stocks popular sand and aggregate materials for homeowners and contractors across Connecticut — including mason sand, concrete sand, pool sand, stone dust, process base, and crushed stone (often called trap rock). Order online for pickup or select delivery during checkout.
What Should You Buy?
3/4" Process (Base)
Compacts well. Standard base material for patios, walkways, pavers, and driveways.
3/4" Crushed Stone (Trap Rock)
Clean stone with no fines. Used for drainage, base layers where you don’t want mud, and as a strong stone layer.
Stone Dust
Fine material often used for leveling, paver bedding, and tight-grade finishing where you want a smooth surface.
Mason Sand vs Concrete Sand vs Pool Sand
Different sands for different uses: masonry work, concrete applications, or pool base/leveling needs.
Base & Paver Tips (That Prevent Settling)
Settling happens when the base isn’t deep enough, isn’t compacted in lifts, or water is allowed to move underneath. The right material matters, but so does how it’s installed.
Excavate properly. Remove organics and loose material. Don’t build on top of soft topsoil.
Build base in lifts. Add process base in layers (lifts) and compact each layer before adding more.
Control water. Most failures are drainage failures. Pitch surfaces away from structures and avoid trapping water under hardscape.
Finish correctly. Stone dust or sand is for final leveling — not for replacing a proper base depth.
Drainage Stone Tips (Avoid Mud & Soft Areas)
Drainage work is one of the most common reasons customers order clean stone and sand/gravel in CT. The goal is to move water away from problem areas and provide a stable layer where soil stays wet.
- Use clean stone (no fines) where water needs to move (around pipes, dry wells, drainage trenches).
- Use fabric correctly to separate soil from stone where needed (prevents stone from sinking into mud).
- Plan outlet routes — drainage only works if water has somewhere to go.
- Don’t “stone over” a swamp without fixing grade and runoff paths.

FAQ
What’s the difference between process and crushed stone (trap rock)?
Process contains fines and compacts tightly — it’s the standard base material. Crushed stone/trap rock is cleaner and drains better. Choose based on whether you need compaction or drainage.
Which sand should I use?
Mason sand is typically used for masonry work and general sand needs. Concrete sand is for concrete applications. Pool sand is often used for leveling and pool base work. If you’re unsure, call before ordering.
Can I order online and still get delivery?
