Walkway Best Practices
- Use filtered fabric under decorative rock to reduce mixing with native soil

Local Conditions and Material Selection
Fremont County sits on loess and glacial deposits with pockets of silt and clay near river bottoms. These soils can retain moisture in spring and dry out in summer. For this reason, aggregates that maintain structure and facilitate drainage are preferred.
Regional Considerations
- Freeze-thaw cycles require frost-resistant base layers
- Areas near the Missouri River need erosion control and stable bank material
- Clay soils benefit from underdrains and clean stone layers
Nearby Counties and Work Context
We also serve projects near Page County and Mills County borders, where similar soils and drainage needs occur. Local municipalities often follow recommended practices for aggregate selection to extend pavement life.
