Why Choose Our Aggregates
Aggregates are the backbone of outdoor projects in Clear Creek County. We source durable materials that handle freeze-thaw cycles, steep grades, and mountain runoff. Our aggregates are tested for consistency and delivered by drivers experienced with narrow mountain driveways and limited offload space.
Material Benefits at a Glance
- Durable bases: 3/4 inch Crushed Stone and Crusher Run lock together for strong driveways.
- Drainage solutions: #57 Stone and Drain Rock promote rapid subsurface drainage.
- Decorative finishes: River Rock, Pea Gravel, and Decomposed Granite add low-maintenance curb appeal.
- Eco-friendly options: Crushed Concrete reduces waste while providing structural fill.
- Fine materials: Mason Sand and Washed Sand for accurate leveling and masonry work.
Driveway & Base Aggregates
Driveways in Clear Creek County face steep slopes, frost heave, and seasonal runoff. Selecting the right base and surface aggregates preserves access and reduces maintenance.
Best Choices for Mountain Driveways
Aggregates like Driveway Gravel, 3/4 inch Crushed Stone, and Crusher Run form stable surfaces that compact well and resist displacement. Use road base under heavy-traffic areas to support higher loads.
- Base layer: Road Base or Crusher Run
- Surface: Driveway Gravel or 3/4 inch Crushed Stone
- Edge control: larger #57 Stone or River Rock for erosion control
Typical Applications
- Rural residential driveways and access roads
- Parking pads and turnout areas
- Temporary construction roads for mountain builds
Decorative Gravels and Rock
For yards, pathways, and water-wise gardens, our decorative stone keeps properties looking sharp while minimizing irrigation needs.
Decorative Options
- River Rock - natural shapes for dry stream beds and accents
- Pea Gravel - comfortable underfoot for patios and play areas
- Decomposed Granite - compactable, permeable surfacing for paths
- Walkway Gravel - fine finish for pedestrian routes
Benefits of Decorative Aggregates
- Low water use compared with turf in mountain climates
- Reduced maintenance and mowing needs
- Good freeze-thaw resilience when properly installed
Sands, Soils and Fill Materials
Projects from garden beds to retaining walls require proper sands and soils. Our screened topsoil and sands match the needs of mountain landscaping and construction.
Available Sands and Soil
- Topsoil - for planting and finishing lawns
- Fill Dirt - for grading and structural fill
- Mason Sand - for mortar and bedding masonry
- Washed Sand - for bedding pavers and drainage
- Playground Sand - soft sand for safe play areas
When to Use Fill Dirt vs Topsoil
Use clean Fill Dirt under structural pads and where compaction is required; reserve screened Topsoil for the top 4 to 6 inches where plants will root. In alpine environments with shallow soils, adding topsoil improves plant establishment while fill dirt corrects grade problems.
Recycled, Base & Drainage Aggregates
For sustainable builds and robust drainage systems, choose materials engineered to perform under Colorado conditions.
Recycled and Engineered Options
- Crushed Concrete - recycled aggregate for base layers
- Road Base - compactable, load-bearing base
- Crusher Run - mixed fines and stone for sub-base strength
- Drain Rock - clean rock for French drains and retaining wall drains
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone and #57 Stone for specific drainage and bedding needs
Design Considerations for Drainage
Clear Creek County sees seasonal snowmelt and heavy local runoff. Use drain rock behind retaining walls and under driveways where subsurface water threatens structural integrity. Properly sized aggregates and geotextile separation reduce long-term maintenance.

Choosing the Right Aggregate for Local Conditions
Clear Creek County's alpine climate, steep slopes, and varied geology influence material selection. Local soils are often thin and rocky with glacial till and decomposed granite in some pockets; frost heave and melting snow demand aggregates that shed water and stabilize surfaces.
Regional Soil and Geology Notes
The county sits within the Front Range with bedrock exposures of granite and metamorphic rock. Soils are typically shallow over rock, with areas of alluvial deposits along Clear Creek. These conditions mean aggregates must provide reliable drainage and strong compaction to prevent movement during freeze-thaw cycles.
Climate Considerations
Winter freeze-thaw and spring runoff are primary challenges. Using angular crushed stone and proper base layers helps avoid potholes and washouts. For xeric plantings, decomposed granite and decorative gravels reduce irrigation needs while adding natural aesthetic suited to mountain landscapes.
