As we settle into the heart of December in Central New York, major landscaping is on hold, but the planning never stops. Now is the ideal time to evaluate your property's needs and plan for material acquisition.


At Clifton Recycling, we are known for our diverse selection of Central NY Bulk Stone. Our inventory includes everything from functional base materials for driveways to stunning decorative options that provide year-round visual interest.


Whether you're prepping a sub-base in freezing weather, planning a spring hardscape, or just adding decorative touches that stand up to snow, our bulk stone selection has you covered.

Functional Stone: The Foundation of Your CNY Property


While decorative appeal is important, many of our most valuable stone products are used for practical, structural purposes. These are the workhorses that secure your property against the Central New York climate.


For Compaction and Bases: For a solid foundation that can withstand snow loads and frost heaving, you need reliable base materials:

  • Run of Crush / Driveway Stone: Essential mixtures of stone and dust designed for superior compaction. Use these as a base layer for new driveways, walkways, or paver patios.

  • Clifton Base Blend: Large (2"-4") mixed stone specifically used for base layers where heavy duty structure is needed.


For Pathways and Pavers:

  • 1B Stone (Stone Dust): This fine material is perfect as a leveling layer directly beneath pavers or flagstones, providing a smooth, compact surface.

  • A1 Stone Chip: Ideal for top dressing walkways, pet areas, and garden paths where you need a clean, stable surface that resists shifting.


For Erosion Control (Heavy Duty): When dealing with steep banks, ditches, or shoreline erosion, bulk stone is the necessary solution:

  • Gabion Stone (Rip Rap): Large (5"+) gray stone used specifically for erosion control in ditches or when placed into gabion baskets for retaining walls.

  • #3/4 Mixed: Baseball-sized, clean stone that works excellently for drainage while also acting as a heavier-duty erosion barrier than small gravel.
