Common Uses and Project Types for Aggregates in Union County
Aggregates support many local projects from farm lanes to municipal repairs. Below are common project types we supply throughout Union County and why the right material matters.
Driveways and road repairs
For durable surfaces on residential and rural driveways, we recommend properly graded base materials and a surfacing layer. Use Road Base or Crusher Run as a compacted foundation and finish with Driveway Gravel or 3/4 inch Crushed Stone for long-term performance.
Drainage and erosion control
Union County's rolling terrain and clay soils create localized drainage challenges. Use Drain Rock or #57 Stone around foundation drains and culverts to maintain flow and reduce saturation.
Landscaping, paths, and patios
For paths and decorative beds that match the Piedmont aesthetic, consider Decomposed Granite, River Rock, or Pea Gravel. These aggregates provide texture, permeability, and low maintenance in the South Carolina climate.
Construction and masonry
Masonry and paver projects need clean sand and solid base material. We supply Mason Sand, Washed Sand, and Topsoil for finishing and landscape planting.
- Residential driveways and farm lanes
- French drains, culverts, and erosion control
- Patios, walkways, and playground areas
- Concrete mixes and site grading

Material Selection Guide for Local Soil and Climate
Union County sits in the Piedmont with red clay and clayey loam soils that hold moisture. Choosing aggregates that promote drainage is essential. Below are selection tips keyed to local conditions.
Soil and climate considerations
The humid subtropical climate brings hot, humid summers and moderate rainfall. Clay soils can shrink and swell, causing surface rutting if the base is not properly prepared. Use angular, compactable aggregates for base layers and well-graded surfacing stone to shed water.
Material recommendations
- Base layers: Road Base, Crushed Concrete, or Crusher Run
- Drainage: Drain Rock or #57 Stone
- Surface: Driveway Gravel or 3/4 inch Crushed Stone
- Decorative: River Rock, Decomposed Granite, or Pea Gravel
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 inch Crushed Stone | Driveways, concrete base | 3/4 inch | Good |
| #57 Stone | Drainage, pipe backfill | 1/2" - 1" | Excellent |
| Crusher Run | Sub-base, compactable base | Mixed fines to 3/4" | Fair |
| Pea Gravel | Paths, play areas | 3/8" | Moderate |
| Decomposed Granite | Patios, pathways | Fines to 3/8" | Good |

Residential and Commercial Project Examples
Rural driveway rebuild
For a full rebuild in Union County's clay soils, remove soft material, install compacted Road Base or Crushed Concrete, then top with Driveway Gravel or 3/4 inch Crushed Stone for a long-lasting surface.
French drain and foundation protection
Install Drain Rock with geotextile fabric to divert subsurface water away from foundations and reduce moisture-related foundation movement common in clayey soils.
Play area and soft-surface installations
For safe play surfaces, spread our Playground Sand over compacted base material and edge with River Rock for durability and drainage.
Tips for Installation and Maintenance
Driveways
- Start with at least 6 inches of compacted base material
- Use angular aggregates like Crusher Run or Road Base under the surface
- Install a crown for water runoff to prevent pooling
Walkways and patios
- Use Decomposed Granite or Walkway Gravel for stable, permeable surfaces
- Add edging to keep materials in place
- Bed pavers on Mason Sand for solid joints
Sustainability and Recycled Aggregates
Recycled materials like Crushed Concrete provide a sustainable alternative for many structural uses. Recycled aggregates reduce landfill demand while meeting performance needs for base and fill applications.
