• Clean, quality-tested aggregates delivered on time

Benefits of Our Materials

• Improved drainage and erosion control with proper drain rock and #57 stone
• Stable driveways using crusher run, road base, and 3/4 inch crushed stone
• Better planting results with screened topsoil and decomposed granite for low-maintenance beds

Driveway & Road Aggregates

For long-lasting driveways and rural lanes in Clark County, material selection and installation depth are critical. We supply and advise on compactable bases that resist frost heave and surface rutting.

Recommended Layers and Materials

• Subgrade: compacted fill dirt for uniform bearing
• Base: road base or crushed concrete for structural support
• Surface: driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone for wear resistance
• Edge reinforcement: crusher run to lock edges for pavers or asphalt overlays

Driveway projects across farmland and subdivisions benefit from engineered base layers to prevent washouts during spring rains. Our driveway gravel blends pair well with local compaction practices for the region.

Drainage, Footings, and Erosion Control

Clark County's low-lying fields and river corridors need dependable drainage solutions. Proper aggregates create long-term drainage performance.

Best Aggregates for Drainage

• Drain Rock - for french drains and bedded trenches
• #57 Stone - filter stone for footing drains and mixing with concrete
• Crushed Concrete - sustainable base that sheds water well

In low-permeability patch areas, combining clean drain rock with a geotextile helps keep fines from migrating. We recommend sizing aggregates to local soil textures to maintain long-term performance.

Decorative Rock, Paths, and Hardscape Materials

Landscape aesthetics matter in town centers like Marshall and Casey. Decorative rock, pea gravel, river rock, and decomposed granite offer attractive, low-maintenance surfaces.

Common Decorative Options

• River Rock - rounded stones for beds and riprap
• Pea Gravel - smooth surface for patios and seating areas
• Decomposed Granite - compacted, natural-looking paths
• Walkway Gravel - firm, pedestrian-friendly path surfaces

These aggregates provide permeability and are excellent where local homeowners want stormwater infiltration and low upkeep in a Midwest climate.

Sand, Soil, and Planting Materials

Healthy plantings and safe play areas rely on the right sand and topsoil. Our screened topsoil and range of sands support turf, garden beds, and playgrounds.

Available Soils and Sands

• Topsoil - screened and blended for lawns and gardens
• Fill Dirt - for grading, swales, and stable fills
• Mason Sand - for mortar, masonry, and bedding stone
• Washed Sand - clean sand for paver joints and bedding
• Playground Sand - safe sand for municipal and school play areas

Topsoil selection should match the local silt loam soils to ensure plant establishment. We can recommend mixes for turf repair after utility work or construction in Clark County yards.

Recycled Aggregates & Sustainable Options

Recycled aggregates reduce material costs and improve sustainability. Crushed concrete and certain recycled blends perform well as base material for driveways and backfill.

Sustainable Product Uses

• Crushed Concrete - base layers and subgrade stabilization
• Road Base - engineered recycled blends for county roads

Recycled materials are particularly useful for agricultural access lanes and large shared driveway projects where cost and environmental footprint matter.

Project Types Suited to Each Product

Different projects in Clark County require different aggregates. Below are common project matches to product types.

• Paths: Decomposed Granite
• Playgrounds: Playground Sand
• Decorative patios: Pea Gravel or Walkway Gravel

Local Soil, Climate, and Installation Considerations

Clark County's soils are often silt loam with clay pockets that influence drainage and compaction. Winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and summers can be hot and humid. These conditions inform our recommendations for aggregates and installation methods.

Soil and Geology Notes

Expect silty loam and clay loam textures across much of the county. Where subsoils are cohesive, a well-drained base using road base or crushed stone prevents frost heave and rutting. In riparian zones near local waterways, clean drain rock and geotextiles reduce fines migration and clogging.

Climate Effects on Materials

Freeze-thaw requires stable subgrade and adequate drainage. Permeable surfaces like pea gravel and decomposed granite can reduce runoff, while compactable bases prevent settlement after winter thaw.

Comparing Cost and Performance

When choosing aggregates in Clark County, consider upfront material costs, life cycle performance, and maintenance. Recycled crushed concrete often offers lower material costs while engineered road base and crusher run provide the best compaction and longevity for driveways and roads.

Cost vs Longevity

• Higher initial cost: washed sand and screened topsoil for finishing
• Moderate cost, high performance: 3/4 inch crushed stone and road base
• Lower cost, sustainable: crushed concrete for base layers
