Products by Project Type
Driveways, Farm Lanes, and Road Work
For long-lasting driveways and lanes in Greene County's rolling prairie, pick the right combination of base and wearing surface. Typical build-up:
- Subgrade correction with fill dirt where low spots or holes need raising
- Compacted road base or crusher run for structural support
- Wearing course of driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone for skid resistance
Drainage and Erosion Control
Greene County fields and roads often depend on proper drainage to prevent water pooling and frost heave. Effective options include:
- Drain rock around pipes and in French drains
- #57 stone as backfill for perforated drain lines
- River rock for stabilized swales and decorative erosion control
Gardens, Lawns, and Play Areas
When finishing exterior spaces, choose materials that match use and safety:
- Topsoil for new lawns and garden beds
- Washed sand or mason sand for paver bedding
- Playground sand for parks and safe play surfaces
- Pea gravel and walkway gravel for paths and patios

Ordering tips for Greene County properties
Measure the area, note driveway slope and drainage, and decide whether you need a compactable base. For many jobs in the county, a compacted road base topped with 3/4 inch crushed stone gives a long-lasting surface. If you have soft spots, order additional crushed concrete or fill dirt to correct the subgrade before surfacing.
Local Soil, Climate, and Construction Considerations
Greene County sits in central Iowa's agricultural belt with rolling prairie, field terraces, and loam topsoils. Local farmers and contractors know the value of stable aggregates because soils here are typically fertile Mollisols with a loess mantle. You will find:
- Deep, productive topsoil that benefits from screened topsoil for lawn and garden restoration
- Pockets of clayey subsoil that hold water and can create frost heave in winter
- Flat to rolling grades where proper drainage and culverts protect lanes and foundations
Climate in Greene County brings cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles and warm, humid summers. Proper aggregate selection prevents heaving and rutting. For roads and driveways, use well-graded materials and consider geotextile separation when placing stone on soft subgrade.

Selecting the right material
Ask about local performance: aggregates behave differently on loamy vs clay subgrades. For many Greene County driveways choose a compactable base layer and a coarse wearing surface. For paths, decomposed granite and walkway gravel offer natural looks with good compaction.
