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
