JFP Blog
The JFP Blog is a resource for contractors, municipalities, site developers, fleet managers, and commercial project teams looking for practical information about aggregate materials, heavy equipment support, trucking, sitework, repair, maintenance, and large-scale construction needs.
Unlike retail-focused stone and landscape articles, these posts are written for the realities of industrial and commercial work: roads, highways, parking lots, utility projects, excavation, drainage, grading, hauling, and contractor supply. These timely posts will share field-tested knowledge from JF Price’s experience serving professional customers who need reliable materials, responsive service, and practical solutions that keep jobs moving.
As this section grows, the JFP Blog will help explain product uses, project considerations, equipment issues, inspection follow-up, repair options, seasonal planning, and contractor-focused best practices. The goal is simple: provide useful information that helps JF Price customers make informed decisions, avoid delays, and choose the right materials and services for demanding jobs.

Decorative stone has become very popular. It can be used in many different ways on your property or your project such as stone mulch, landscape stone, water feature accents and even for driveways. Decorative stones come in round and crushed versions. For example the term "pea stone" is used when people are looking for a round stone but these type of stones come in many different sizes - from Rice Stone to 1/4" stone all the way up to 6" stone. All of these being in the round category, but Pea Stone tends to usually mean a smaller size stone.
