GABC is the Delaware base material. Around the Inland Bays, sand sits close to the surface and water moves slowly, so what you put down has to shed water as well as carry weight.

Materials for Rehoboth Beach Projects

Storm surge and rising water along the Atlantic shore and the Inland Bays move a lot of ground. Coarse stone is what holds a slope, a swale or a bank edge in place, so start there and work toward the finer materials.

RipRap is the heavy option for ditch and culvert outlets, pond banks and tidal shoreline armoring.

Large River Rock is rounded and uncrushed, used for dry creek beds, bank edging and heavier decorative work.

#4 Crushed Stone suits construction entrances, heavy drainage and trench bottoms. Delaware jobs often call for the coarser Delaware No.

3 stone on the same work.

#57 Stone is clean stone for drainage beds, underdrains, drive surfacing and concrete work.

57 stone, and it is the size to lead with on a French drain or a dry well.

GABC is the compacted base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases, and it is what Sussex County writes into its own design standards as Type B Graded Aggregate Base Course. Crusher Run is the everyday trade name for the same work.

Stone Dust beds pavers, flagstone and brick, and fills the voids in a compacted base.

10 stone.

Delivery to Rehoboth Beach and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck tips the load in one pile on site.

Coverage runs across Sussex County, including Seaford, Georgetown, Milford, Millsboro and Laurel. If your site sits on a tight coastal lot or at the end of a long lane, the pile still lands where the truck can reach.

Each product page has a calculator, so you can size the load before you order. Nothing else is needed to place it.

Ground and Conditions in Rehoboth Beach

Work runs year round here. Coastal storms from late autumn through winter, and the summer resort season, set the schedule rather than frost.

Across the Atlantic coast and the Inland Bays, the water table sits close to the surface and the tide sets the outfall. Low lots near the bays drain slowly and take water from high tides and storm surge as well as from rain.

That is why a clean, open-graded stone belongs under a drainage run, and why a fines-bearing base belongs under a drive or a pad. The two do different jobs and should not be swapped.

Freeze and thaw still lifts pavers and loosens walkway gravel. The Sussex County footing depth is 24 inches, and that figure is the building official's, not a rule for a gravel base.

DNREC reports Delaware sea level rising at roughly twice the global average and up to 15 inches over the past century, and promotes living shorelines as an alternative to rip rap and bulkheads.

Questions from Rehoboth Beach Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Rehoboth Beach?

Use clean, open-graded stone that lets water pass: #57 Stone for drainage beds, underdrains and dry wells, or #67 Stone at a slightly smaller size. For ditch and culvert outlets, pond banks and tidal shoreline, RipRap is the coarse option.

Keep fines-bearing material out of a drainage run, because it holds water instead of passing it.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

The truck tips the load in one pile, so have a clear, firm spot picked out where a dump truck can reach and turn around. Keep cars, bins and equipment out of that space.

If overhead lines or a low branch cross the approach, plan around them before the delivery date. The driver does not place or spread the load.
