Gravel & Aggregates Available in Union County
We keep a broad inventory of aggregates to handle everything from driveway repairs to erosion control. Local contractors and homeowners trust our materials for quality and consistency.
Driveway and Road Materials
For durable, low-maintenance driveways and farm lanes, choose compactable, angular aggregates that lock together under traffic and shed water. Popular options include:
- Driveway Gravel - engineered for long-lasting driveways and low upkeep
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone - excellent for base layers and surfaces that compact well
- Crusher Run - ideal for compacted subbase and temporary roads
- Road Base - engineered for parking areas and heavier traffic
Benefits of these aggregates:
- Improved load distribution and reduced rutting
- Good drainage when installed with proper crown and slope
- Lower lifecycle maintenance than uncompacted soils
Drainage and Erosion Control
Union County's rolling terrain and periodic heavy rain events make drainage planning essential. Use clean, angular rock in French drains, swales, and culvert surrounds.
- Drain Rock - clean stone for drainage channels and French drains
- #57 Stone - good for filter layers and mixing with concrete
- Crushed Concrete - cost-effective base material for erosion-prone areas
Decorative Rock and Garden Aggregates
For yards around Lake D'Arbonne and residential projects in town centers, decorative stone creates low-maintenance beds and accents that suit local character.
- River Rock - smooth, rounded stones for accents, water features, and beds
- Pea Gravel - fine, natural pea gravel for patios and play areas
- Walkway Gravel - compacting mixes that make pleasant, accessible paths
- Decomposed Granite - stabilized, natural look for paths and patio infill
Sands for Construction and Play
Sands are essential for masonry, paver bedding, and recreation areas. We stock several grades to match project requirements.
- Mason Sand - ideal for mortar and brickwork
- Washed Sand - clean sand for paver bedding and drainage layers
- Playground Sand - soft, clean sand for safe play surfaces
Soils and Fill
For grading, planting, or raising low spots on rural properties, choose from screened topsoil or clean fill dirt.
Recycled and Specialty Aggregates
Save on cost and reduce waste with recycled materials and specialty mixes for certain construction uses.
- Crushed Concrete - economical base material and subgrade
- Crusher Run - versatile compactable mix for bases and temporary lanes
- Road Base - engineered material for structural support

Installation Tips for Union County Properties
Preparing a Driveway
Start with proper grading to promote drainage away from buildings and toward ditches. A compacted road base layer, followed by a wearing course of driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone, will resist rutting and washout.
Pathways and Walkways
For paths that stay firm, install a compacted base of crusher run or road base, then a finish layer of walkway gravel or decomposed granite for a natural look.
Drainage Solutions
French drains and dry creek beds around lakeside properties perform best with clean drain rock and filter fabric to keep fines out of the pipe. Use #57 stone as a filter layer where needed.
Soil and Landscaping Prep
Improve planting areas with screened topsoil. For grade changes that require structural fill, use clean fill dirt compacted in lifts.
Project Types Suited for Our Aggregates
Our inventory supports a wide range of projects across Union County. Typical applications include:
- Residential driveways and private roads
- Lakefront erosion control and French drains
- Paver patios, walkways, and ADA paths
- Playgrounds and recreational areas
- Construction site base and parking pads
Choosing the Right Material
Match material to use: clean stones for drainage, angular mixes for compaction, and fine sands for bedding. For affordable bases, recycled crushed concrete often performs well when properly compacted.
Local Soil, Climate, and Geology Considerations
Union County sits within north Louisiana's mixed loam and red clay soils. Clay can retain moisture and swell, so subbase and drainage design matter for long-lasting surfaces. Summers are hot and humid, and heavy rainstorms are frequent in late spring and summer.
Local considerations:
- Red clay subsoils increase the need for a stable, compacted base
- Heavy rainfall events require efficient drainage and use of clean aggregates
- Lake-adjacent properties can experience shoreline erosion—use river rock and drain rock for stabilization
Nearby parishes such as Lincoln and Claiborne share similar soil profiles, so techniques that work locally translate across county lines.
Bulk Aggregates and Delivery Services
We offer bulk delivery options for contractors, landscapers, and homeowners across Union County. Ordering in bulk lowers costs and ensures consistent material supply for larger projects.
- Bulk aggregates for driveways and road base
- Delivery scheduling to minimize site disruption
- Careful offload placement for minimal site cleanup
If you need an affordable wearing course, consider crusher run for compaction, then top with a surface of driveway gravel or decorative rock depending on aesthetics.
