Driveway, Road, and Foundation Aggregates
Johnson County homeowners and road crews frequently choose engineered aggregates to handle freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal runoff. Our selection helps prevent potholes, rutting, and poor drainage on rural lanes and drives.
Common materials for driveways and roads
- Road Base and Crusher Run for durable subbase layers
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone and #57 Stone as wear layers for improved surface stability
- Crushed Concrete where a recycled, economical base is preferred
When to use which material
For new driveways, start with compactable road base or crusher run to form a stable subgrade. Cover with 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel for wear resistance. For low-traffic residential uses, driveway gravel offers a cost-effective finish.
Product notes
Using the right aggregates is essential in regions with Nebraska's freeze-thaw cycles. Proper compaction and drainage rock, such as drain rock, reduce frost heave and improve longevity of surfaces.

- Walkway Gravel - smooth blends for comfortable walking surfaces
Benefits by project

Choosing the Right Aggregates for Johnson County Conditions
Local soil and climate influence material selection. Johnson County sits in southeast Nebraska with gently rolling hills, loess-derived topsoils, and pockets of alluvial soils near creeks. Winters are cold with freeze-thaw, and summers can be hot and dry. These factors inform the best aggregates for longevity.
Local geology and soil concerns
- Loess deposits create silty, windblown soils that compact well with proper base material
- Clayey subsoils can hold moisture; good drainage layers reduce frost heave
- Areas near watercourses may require larger drain rock and river rock for erosion control
Material selection tips
- Use road base or crusher run under pavers to prevent settling
- Choose drain rock behind foundations or under footings to manage groundwater
- For surfaces that must shed water quickly, 3/4 inch crushed stone performs well
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 inch Crushed Stone | Driveways, base, drainage | 3/4" | Excellent |
| #57 Stone | Concrete aggregate, decorative beds | 1/2" to 1" | Good |
| Crusher Run | Compacted base for pavers and drives | Fine to 1 1/2" | Moderate |
| Pea Gravel | Patios, pathways, play areas | 3/8" | Fair |
| Road Base | Rural lanes and private roads | Variable | Good |
| Decomposed Granite | Compacted paths and xeriscapes | Fine | Good |
