Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you service?
W Wall & Sons supplies high-quality quarry products for Glenden and the surrounding areas, including Burton, Elphinstone and Eaglefield. Contact us to confirm whether we service your specific location.
What is rip rap and what is it used for?
Rip rap is large, angular rock used primarily for erosion control and shoreline protection. It’s often placed along riverbanks, sea walls, drainage channels or culvert outlets to absorb and deflect water energy, preventing soil erosion. The interlocking nature of the stones allows water to flow through while holding the structure in place. Sizes typically range from 150mm to over 500mm, depending on the application. Rip rap is also used for landscaping where a rugged, natural aesthetic is desired. Its durability, permeability and strength make it ideal for areas prone to water flow, heavy rain or wave impact.
Are quarry materials available year-round?
Yes, most quarries operate year-round and maintain steady supplies of core materials like roadbase, aggregates and sand. However, availability can vary based on demand, weather conditions and maintenance schedules. During wet seasons, access to certain quarries or materials may be restricted due to site conditions. High-demand periods—such as peak construction months—can also affect lead times and stock levels. It’s advisable to order in advance, particularly for large-scale projects or custom-crushed materials. Communication with your supplier is key to ensuring continuous availability. Some quarries also offer stockpiling and scheduling services to help manage seasonal supply fluctuations effectively.
What is roadbase used for?
Roadbase is a foundational material used beneath roads, driveways, footpaths and other paved areas. It provides structural support by creating a strong, compacted layer that resists movement and evenly distributes loads. Roadbase is typically made from crushed rock or gravel mixed with fine particles, allowing it to compact firmly. It’s critical in ensuring the durability and longevity of surfaces like asphalt, concrete or pavers. Roadbase can also be used under shed slabs, retaining walls and in rural access tracks. Different grades—such as CBR-rated types—are available to match varying traffic loads and engineering specifications.
