Choosing the Right Aggregates for Clinton County Projects
Selecting the correct aggregates affects longevity, drainage, and freeze-thaw performance. Across Clinton County, soils range from clay loams in lowlands to glacial tills and sandy shores near Lake Champlain. That variety makes choosing the right stone and sand essential.
Driveways, Roads, and Heavy Use
For driveways and road repairs in Clinton County, we recommend compactable mixes that handle winter wheel loads. Use crusher run or road base under a wearing surface, paired with 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel on top for traction and drainage.
- Use crusher run or road base for subbase strength
- Finish with 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel for surface durability
- Consider crushed concrete for sustainable, cost-effective base options
Drainage, Frost Heave, and Foundations
Clinton County experiences freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal high water, especially near the Champlain Valley. Proper drainage rock and #57 stone are essential to protect foundations and reduce frost heave. Drain rock and #57 stone should be used around perforated pipe and foundation footings to maintain flow and reduce soil movement.
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crushed Stone (3/4 inch) | Driveways, Bases | 3/4 inch | Good |
| #57 Stone | Drainage, Concrete Aggregate | 1/2 inch - 1 inch | Excellent |
| Crusher Run | Subbase, Road Base | Mixed fines to 1 inch | Fair |
| Pea Gravel | Walkways, Play Areas | 3/8 inch | Moderate |
| River Rock | Decorative, Shorelines | 1 inch to 6 inches | Moderate |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, Patios | Fine | Good |
Project Types and Recommended Materials
Residential Driveways
For long-lasting residential driveways that resist ruts and potholes, select a compactable subbase and a durable wearing layer. Typical build-up:
- 6 to 12 inches of crusher run or road base
- 2 to 3 inches of 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel as the surface
- Edge containment to prevent migration into soft soils
Walkways and Patios
Walkways in parks, near Ausable Chasm, or private gardens benefit from compactable, fine materials. For ADA friendly or decorative paths, use walkway gravel or stabilized decomposed granite.
Drainage and Erosion Control
Near streams, lowlands, and Lake Champlain shorelines, choose angular aggregates that maintain flow and resist migration. Drain rock and #57 stone work well for pipe surrounds and riprap transition zones. For decorative shoreline projects, select larger river rock sizes to armor banks against wave action.
Play Areas and Soft Surfaces
Public parks and school playgrounds across the county should use playground sand or well-maintained pea gravel areas to provide soft fall surfaces and proper drainage.

Local Soil, Climate, and Geology Considerations
Clinton County sits at the northern edge of the Champlain Valley with geology shaped by glacial deposits and marine clay layers from the ancient Champlain Sea. That creates a mix of glacial till, clay loams in low-lying areas, and coarser sandy deposits near the lake.
Soil Types
- Glacial till and boulder fields in uplands—requires good base material for stability
- Clay and silty loams in valleys—improves with coarse aggregates for drainage
- Sandy beaches and shorelines—use rock and larger stone to reduce erosion
Climate Effects
Long, cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles increase the importance of drainage and proper base design. Aggregates play a key role in preventing frost heave and improving winter traction on driveways and roads.

Tips for Winter-Ready Aggregates and Installations
