​

Buffalo Crushed Stone or Crusher Run

Crusher run gravel is an extremely versatile material that is also sometimes known as “Crush and Run,” “Crush N Run,” “Graded Aggregate Base or GAB'' or “Aggregate Base Coarse or ABC Stone.” But even though it goes by many names, its applications are even more numerous. 

 

Most often it is used for home projects because it is a useful sub-base material that can be compacted. That’s because it’s made up of course and fine aggregates to create a solid and level support base for top layers on projects like driveways, patios, and other structural foundations (think, sheds or greenhouses). 

 

We are pleased to be a trusted source of stone Buffalo and across WNY. If you’re looking for different types of stone, please continue reading through our landscaping materials, or contact us to find the right stone for your specific needs.

​

Bulk Mulch Buffalo NY

Using mulch in your gardening projects doesn’t just add to the beauty and function of your prized lawn and garden, it helps conserve water, it protects your soil from erosion and helps it fight weeds. It also helps moderate extreme temperatures (which can really come in handy during our notorious WNY winters), and it can help protect your garden beds from landscaping maintenance equipment (whether that’s a lawn mower, weed whacker, or yes, a snowblower, shovel, or snow plow!). 

 

The general rule of thumb is to use a three inch layer of mulch for your projects. Depending on the size of your garden, that can add up quickly! And those bags are heavy. That’s why many homeowners and landlords appreciate our bulk mulch delivery service. Save your back and stop dragging 25, 30, or more bags of mulch to your car from the big box parking lot. Call us with the details on your project and we’ll get exactly the amount and type of mulch you need wherever you need it, when you need it. We’ve got you covered!

 

Here at NE Bretherton Soil + Stone, we offer several bulk mulch options to suit your specific needs. Specifically, we offer red, brown, and black bulk mulch.

​

Topsoil Buffalo

Topsoil is a critical component of any gardening project or well-tended landscape. But, a few bags here and there can disappear quickly when you’re adding, updating, or maintaining your lawn or garden. 

 

No matter how well you take care of your lawn & garden, most soils will need additional layers of topsoil added over time. Pesky weeds can make an impact, as can using and living around your lawn - that foot traffic adds up! Even just the snow, weather, or other materials can erode topsoil over time. 

 

That’s why we offer reasonably priced, bulk topsoil with fast and friendly delivery. Don’t break your back trying to carry dozens of bags to your car at the big box store. Instead, let us know how much you need, and we’ll schedule delivery at the best date and time that works for you. We’ll leave your materials where you need them, so you can get to work. Not only will you save time, money, and wear and tear on your back, you’ll be supporting a local business instead of another chain. It’s a win/win!

​

Bulk Sand Buffalo NY

Those who aren’t active in their gardening or landscaping projects may not realize just how important sand is to many projects. Sand can be an extremely helpful tool for soil aeration and drainage, keeping your soil from becoming compacted and allowing roots to grow properly. 

 

Adding a layer of sand over your soil can also help keep pesky weeds at bay without the use of chemicals. Sand can even be used as a creative material for walkways to add a more relaxed, beach-y feeling to our yards during the beautiful summer months. 

 

Sand can also protect your plants from extreme heat (yes, we know how hot the summers can get here, even if people in other areas only picture snow!) and rain. It’s such a versatile tool! 

 

And of course, adding sand around your pools, to kids’ sandboxes, and in other fun applications is a great way to create fun in your yard each summer.

For whatever reason you have bulk sand needs, NE Bretherton Soil + Stone is proud to provide bulk sand at reasonable prices. We can have your sand delivered quickly and efficiently, and with the exceptional service WNY has come to expect. 
 

River Rock Buffalo NY

We love river rock for its simple, practical uses, and for just how versatile this material can be. It adds a ton of character and charm to outdoor spaces, and choosing the right river rock can absolutely transform your garden or yard! 

 

Placing river rock is also super easy, with low preparation necessary. When it is well maintained, river rock can last a lifetime. And of course, here at NE Bretherton Soil + Stone, you know that you’ll be receiving your river rock at fair pricing, with fast delivery and exceptional service. We offer both 2” and 1” river rock for your needs. 
 

Pea Gravel Buffalo NY

We love pea gravel for its ease of use and the many possibilities it can fulfill within your outdoor spaces. Although it’s often confused with crushed stone, pea gravel is a unique material that is smaller and smoother than crushed stone. 

 

Natural weathering causes the smooth appearance and touch of pea gravel, and as such, it adds a very nice, natural look and feeling to your outdoor projects. Here are just a few of the applications for pea gravel outside your home: 

 

Landscaping – Pea gravel has its unique coloring and texture because of its proximity to water and other natural elements. That’s why many people choose to use pea gravel around flower beds and other traditional landscaping projects.

Walkways - The same traits that make pea gravel a beautiful choice for landscaping projects also make it a nice choice for walkways. It’s attractive and safe, and it feels good to walk on. 

 

Paving stone base - It’s small and strong, making pea gravel a nice material for foundation beneath paving stones. 

 

Mulching material near plants - Pea gravel is a fantastic, natural weed deterrent and it also retains moisture well, so it’s a nice choice for mulching material if you’re looking for something a bit different.

 

Bordering along your house - With pea gravel’s excellent drainage and natural barrier properties, it can protect your house from pesky rodents while adding a nice visual component.

​

Bulk Rock Salt Buffalo NY

Yes, rock salt is a necessity for all of us in Western New York, and it not only keeps you and your family safe, salting regularly helps protect you from liability. 

 

Purchasing high quality, reasonably priced bulk rock salt can be especially critical for municipalities, business owners, landlords, and others with a large number of driveways, parking lots, and other areas that need to be safe from ice during the wintertime.

Call us at 716-262-5495 and we’ll work with you to get you what you need. 

​

Screened Soil Buffalo NY

Screened soil is different from traditional topsoil, in that it has been screened to remove rocks, sticks, clumps, and other items larger than the screen size. Screened soil is essentially, then, sifted topsoil through screens with various size meshes, and can be made to various levels of coarseness. Our screened soil is a 50/50 mix of garden soil and compost soil mix. 

 

A benefit to screened soil versus topsoil is that the soil particles are more consistent in size. For your projects, this means you can count on better water flow, which means stronger nutrition throughout your garden (and ideally, a better yield).

 

Screened soil is an excellent choice as a base for either flower gardens or vegetable gardens. It can also be used to fill lawn areas, or for planting trees and shrubs – you can see how versatile it can be in your outdoor projects! 

 

If your work areas will be filled to at least one inch, screened soil is typically the recommended option. It can also be layered on top of unscreened topsoil, or mixed with compost, manure, or peat to create an even more enriched soil option.

Dirt Fill

If you’ve worked on landscaping or lawn & garden projects before, you know that sometimes regardless of your planning and preparation, the ground has its own plans. That’s why dirt fill is a necessary landscaping material for a host of projects. 

 

Dirt fill can help level off holes and low spots, or it can help raise beds and ground for other needs depending on the specific goals of your project. When compacted, it provides a stable base for a host of projects. Our dirt fill is reasonably priced and ready to go for your specific project. It’s important to note that dirt fill and topsoil may seem similar, but they are used for distinctly unique purposes, as noted above. Topsoil is abundant in nutrients and minerals to help your plants grow, while dirt fill lacks the organic matter necessary to support the growth of plants and vegetables.
