For planting, grading, and fill work across Ford County, our sand and soil products are screened, tested, and delivered to match your project needs.

Projects Suited to Our Aggregates

Ford County residents and contractors rely on our aggregates for a wide range of projects. Below are practical uses and project tips reflecting local conditions.

Driveways and Farm Access

Compactable materials like crusher run and road base create a long lasting driving surface that resists washouts during spring rains. For top dressing, a layer of driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone provides traction and reduces dust.

Drainage and Erosion Control

Use drain rock and #57 stone in french drains and curtain drains to manage runoff, especially on properties with clay pockets and seasonal surface flow.

Landscaping and Play Areas

For playgrounds and patio beds select playground sand or pea gravel to meet safety and comfort needs while keeping maintenance low.

Suitable projects: driveways, access roads, load-out pads, patio bases, drainage trenches, and playgrounds.
Common local challenges addressed: wind blown silt, surface runoff after heavy rains, and seasonal frost heave.

Ford County Soil, Climate, and Regional Considerations

Ford County sits on the High Plains with semi arid climate patterns. Summers are hot and dry, while winters can bring freezing cycles that affect aggregate performance.

Soil and Geology

Local soils range from silt loams to clay loams with pockets of wind deposited silt. The Ogallala Aquifer underlies much of the region, so considerations for drainage and groundwater-friendly materials are important when building near wellheads and irrigation systems.

Climate and Weather

Low annual rainfall and strong winds mean surfaces must resist erosion and dust. Aggregates with angular particles such as crushed stone and crusher run compact well, reducing dust and movement.
