Driveway & Construction Aggregates
Driveway Gravel and Base Layers
Adams County homeowners often choose a layered approach: compacted road base or crusher run base with a wearing course of 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel. This combination limits rutting and improves drainage across the seasonal freeze and thaw cycle.
- Base: Road Base or Crusher Run
- Wearing course: 3/4 inch Crushed Stone or Driveway Gravel
Concrete and Drainage Mixes
#57 stone and drain rock are commonly used around foundations and under slabs to keep water moving away from structures. Our #57 Stone delivers reliable drainage and works well in concrete mixes for patios and retaining walls.
Recommended products:
- #57 Stone for drainage and concrete
- Drain Rock for footing drains and French drains
Decorative & Landscape Rock
River Rock, Pea Gravel, and Walkway Gravel
Decorative aggregates add curb appeal and reduce maintenance. Rounded River Rock is excellent for dry creek beds and xeriscape accents. Pea Gravel creates comfortable walking surfaces for patios and play areas.
- River Rock - low maintenance and good for seasonal runoff channels
- Pea Gravel - great for patios that require a softer finish
- Walkway Gravel - compactable and easy to maintain
Decomposed Granite and Natural Finishes
Decomposed Granite blends with native soils and is perfect for natural trails and softscapes that match Adams County prairie tones.
Sand, Soil, and Fines
Topsoil and Fill Dirt
Repairing lawns, building raised beds, or regrading a lot requires the right soil. Our Topsoil is screened for planting and amended when needed. Fill Dirt is available for structural fills and landscaping builds.

Regional Considerations for Adams County
Soil, Geology, and Climate
Adams County sits on high plains with pockets of clay-rich soils and alluvial deposits along waterways like the South Platte River. These soils can hold moisture and cause poor drainage in low spots. Aggregates help stabilize surfaces and reduce frost heave where seasonal freezing occurs.
Local Challenges and Solutions
Common local landscaping and construction trends include xeriscaping, native grass restoration, and permeable surfaces to manage runoff. For erosion control and improved drainage, contractors in Adams County often pair Drain Rock with geomembranes or install French drains using #57 Stone.
- Challenge: Clay soils leading to poor drainage — Solution: add road base and #57 stone
- Challenge: Frost heave on old driveways — Solution: stabilized road base with 3/4 inch crushed stone top
- Challenge: Water flow near South Platte — Solution: river rock channels and rip rap in key areas
Project Types Suitable for Our Aggregates
