What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this product as a reliable, stable foundation for pavers, patios, and retaining walls, with most noting excellent compaction and leveling properties. Many describe it as dependable for creating solid bases under pavers and bricks. However, several reviewers express concern about inconsistent composition, reporting larger rocks mixed with sand rather than finer material, though most still find it functional for its intended purpose. A few mention batch variability and dust issues. Overall, customers consider it an effective choice despite composition concerns.

Update to first review

Would Not Recommend

I was initially disappointed now I'm downright disgusted. Here's the thing. Once you open the bag its not returnable, and the only way to know if the product inside is any good is to open it up! Now I have to somehow sift this junk and maybe end up with half the product as usable. If that werent bad enough the product was saturated with water making it like mud. Doing some research I discovered that HD sells Pavestone paver base at the exact same price and apparently the reviews also complained ...

Check the bag first

Would Recommend

I've purchased this product before and it was fine, literally. Then I bought four more bags and lo and behold it was chock full of large stones, 3/4-1-1/2"; not at all satisfactory. Even if the gravel had been smaller it would have been okay but those super large stones just not gonna get it done. So check the bag first!
