Koloa sits in Kauai County, on ground that runs from fertile lowland soil to dry red clay. Pick your material, size the load, and schedule delivery at checkout.
Ground and Conditions in Koloa
South and west Kauai gives you fertile lowland soils and red clay on the south slopes. Farther west the old plantation ground runs drier and dustier.
Clay and tight soil shed water instead of taking it in. A thin base layer over that ground pumps, shifts and ruts once traffic starts.
The fix is a compacting layer with enough body to bridge the soft ground underneath. That is where base course earns its place.
Water here is the bigger problem. Rainfall on this side is modest, but ditches and gulches carry flow down from ground uphill that takes hundreds of inches a year.
Flash flow runs dry gulches that sit empty most of the year. Wind lifts dust off bare red dirt, and the south and west coasts lose shoreline.
Winter Kona storms are when the gulches run and the red dirt turns to mud. Build drainage into a site before that season, not after it.
Materials for Koloa Projects
Start with fines and screenings for paths and walkways. Screenings, also called fines or quarry fines, are crushed basalt fines that bed pavers, flagstone and slabs, and they fill the joints between them.
They compact firm under flatwork and stay put on a walking surface. Order Stone Screenings for bedding and joint work.
For a finished path surface, chips give you clean crushed basalt at 3/8 inch. Island quarries list this size as chips, and it works as a topping over a compacted base, for pipe bedding, for fine drainage and for paths.
Order 3/8" Crushed Stone for that layer. Cinder is the other walkway material here, and it has no mainland equivalent.
Black cinder is denser and takes foot traffic. Red cinder is lighter and used decoratively in beds and planters.
Order Cinder for paths, garden beds and light drives.
Under all of it, base course is the compacting layer. In Hawaii it is crushed basalt, also sold as 3/4 inch minus base course or untreated base course, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, slab bases and shed bases.
County public works specifications call it base course, and that is the term to use when you order. Order 3F Base Course for drives and pads.
Drainage needs clean stone that lets water move. Drain rock, also called filter rock or lava rock, fills drywells, rock pits, French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
Many subdivisions here have no street storm drain to tie into, so drywells carry the water.
Order Drain Rock for that work. Where a site sits on soft or wet ground, RipRap and one man rock armor gulch banks, stream banks and culvert outlets.

Questions About Ordering in Koloa
What should I have ready when the truck arrives?
Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it. The driver tips the load in one pile, so leave room for the material where you want it to sit.
Have your site accessible before the delivery date you picked at checkout.
What is the best base under pavers in Koloa?
Use screenings for the bedding layer. Crushed basalt fines compact firm and uniform under pavers, and they fill the joints once the pavers are set.
Order Stone Screenings and bed the pavers on that layer.
