• Crushed Concrete - recycled option for subsurface drainage

Common Drainage Projects

• French drain installation for basements and low yards
• Stabilizing stream banks and culvert approaches
• Underdrain backfill for retaining walls and foundations

Soils, Sand, and Planting Materials

Gardens, lawns, and tree plantings require the right soil and sand to thrive in Union County's silt loams and occasional clay pockets.

Local Conditions: Soil, Climate, and Project Planning

Union County's soils range from fertile alluvial silt along the Susquehanna to glacially influenced loams inland. Summers are warm and humid; winters bring snow and freeze-thaw cycles. These conditions influence aggregate selection.

Soil and Geology

Many yards in Union County have silt loam or silty clay loam surfaces. Those soils can hold moisture; adding angular aggregates like crushed stone improves drainage under pavements and around foundations.

Climate Considerations

Freeze-thaw cycles mean using well-draining aggregates and proper compaction to reduce heaving. For planting beds, screened topsoil mixed with organic matter helps roots establish through seasonal cold.

Local Landmarks and Areas

From the Susquehanna River banks near Lewisburg to the rolling farmland around Mifflinburg, our aggregate delivery service supports historic homes, modern developments, and agricultural properties.
