Why These Aggregates Work Well in Chemung County
Chemung County features clay-rich glacial till and pockets of sandy loam. That means you need aggregates that provide strong drainage and stable compaction. Our selection balances permeability and compaction so driveways and drain systems stand up to freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal runoff.
Benefits of Our Aggregates
- Improved drainage and erosion control
- Durable surfaces that resist ruts and potholes
- Cost-effective recycled options for sustainability

Project Guides and Recommendations
Driveway Recommendations
For a durable driveway in Chemung County, begin with a compacted road base or crusher run, add a layer of 3/4 inch crushed stone, and finish with a wearing layer of driveway gravel. Our Road Base and Driveway Gravel work together to create a stable, long-lasting surface.
Drainage and Erosion Control
Where water pooling is a concern, install a perforated pipe beded in Drain Rock and surround with geotextile fabric. Use #57 Stone for superior percolation around structures and foundation drains.
Landscaping and Decorative Projects
Use River Rock and Pea Gravel for visual appeal around beds and walkways. For stable walking surfaces choose Walkway Gravel or compacted decomposed granite.
Sustainable Aggregates and Recycled Options
Choosing recycled materials lowers project costs and environmental impact. Our crushed concrete offers an excellent alternative for base material without sacrificing strength.
We stock Crushed Concrete and other recycled aggregates that meet performance needs and support local sustainability efforts.
