Descriptions of the different classes of material that Schwartz Excavating has to offer:

Class #5 Gravel:
|
A mixture of rock, sand, and clay that is used most often for roads and driveways.
Not all Class #5 is the same- “Call for the Best”
|
|
Class #1 Gravel:
|
Used most commonly for roads and driveways. It packs better than Class #5 due to
the higher content of clay and the smaller rock. This makes it much better for hills.

Screened Black Dirt:
|
We have the best in the area with its mixture of sandy topsoil, peat, and manure.
This is great for gardens and lawns.

Use this rock for landscaping and drainage areas. Also used in septic systems
trenches and rock beds where it is essential that you get the cleanest rock
possible. It is sized approximately a little bigger then a golf ball.
