How to Choose the Right Aggregate

Driveways and Roadways

For driveways in Union County we recommend a layered approach: road base for heavy support, then crusher run or 3/4 inch crushed stone near the surface for compaction. Use driveway gravel as a finish layer to resist displacement.

Drainage Solutions

Areas with poor natural drain benefit from #57 stone or drain rock. These aggregates create reliable void spaces for water to flow away from foundations and low spots.

#57 Stone: great for French drains and under drain pipe
Drain Rock: larger rock that resists clogging with silt
Washed Sand: bedding under pipes to ensure even support

Garden Beds, Walkways, and Decorative Use

Pea gravel and river rock are popular for aesthetic landscaping in Marysville and surrounding neighborhoods. Decomposed granite compacts nicely for natural-looking walkways that shed water without rutting.

Comparison of Common Gravels

Gravel Type	Best For	Size	Drainage
Crushed Stone (3/4 inch)	Driveways, foundation base	3/4 inch	Good
#57 Stone	Drainage, concrete aggregate	1/2" - 1"	Excellent
Crusher Run	Compactable base layers	Mixed fines and stone	Moderate
Pea Gravel	Walkways, play areas	3/8 inch	Fair
Decomposed Granite	Paths, patios	Fine particles	Good

Local Conditions: Soil, Climate, and Installation Tips

Union County Soil and Geology

Union County sits on glaciated plains with abundant fertile loam, silt loam, and clay loam soils. Many properties have compacted glacial till near the surface which affects drainage and compaction. Knowing the local soil type helps determine the right aggregates for drainage and load-bearing applications.

Climate Considerations

The humid continental climate brings hot summers and cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles. These seasonal shifts increase the importance of well-draining aggregates and stable base layers to limit frost heave and rutting.

Installation Tips for Union County

Start with proper grading and compaction to manage runoff and prevent pooling
Use road base and crusher run under heavy-use areas to resist frost heave
Install drain rock or #57 stone where slope and runoff concentrate water
Top with driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone for a durable wearing surface
For decorative beds, add a weed barrier beneath river rock or pea gravel
