Driveway and Road Aggregates
For rural driveways and farm lanes in Saline County, selecting the right aggregates prevents washouts and reduces seasonal maintenance. Our mixes are selected to handle freeze-thaw cycles and the clay loam soils common in the county.
Driveway options
- Driveway Gravel - durable top layer that sheds water.
- Crusher Run - compactable base that locks into a firm surface.
- Road Base - engineered for heavy axle loads and long-term stability.
When to use crushed stone vs crushed concrete
Crushed concrete provides a budget-friendly base with good compaction, while 3/4 inch crushed stone offers superior angularity and drainage. Use crushed concrete on secondary farm roads and crushed stone where extra drainage and rock interlock are needed.
Drainage, Foundations, and Structural Aggregates
Proper drainage is essential in low-lying areas and near the Missouri River floodplain. Our aggregates support foundation drains, retaining wall backfill, and French drains to reduce hydrostatic pressure and soil saturation.
Best products for drainage
- Drain Rock - designed for high percolation in footing drains.
- #57 Stone - excellent for perimeter drains and gravel trenches.
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone - used for compacted base and drainage layers.
Common structural projects
- French drains and curtain drains for farmsteads
- Retaining wall backfill using clean rock
- Base for small building pads and sheds
Sands, Topsoil, and Fill Dirt
Soil conditions in Saline County vary from alluvial soils near the river to wind-deposited loess on uplands. Proper grading and soil selection matter for lawns, gardens, and construction.
Materials and uses
- Topsoil - for lawn establishment and raised beds.
- Fill Dirt - for grading, filling low spots, and forming foundations.
- Mason Sand - for mortar and bedding blocks.
