Common Projects and Which Aggregates Work Best
Obion County homeowners and contractors use aggregates for a wide range of projects. Below are common projects with recommended materials and brief guidance.
Driveways and Access Roads
For durable driveways we recommend layered installation: a compacted subgrade, a road base or crusher run layer, and a wearing course of 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel. In low-lying fields or near drainage ways, adding geotextile fabric helps stabilize soft soils and reduce rutting.
Drainage Solutions and French Drains
Drain rock and #57 stone are ideal for French drains and subsurface drainage trenches. These open grades allow water to flow while preventing clogging by fines. For tighter budgets, crushed concrete also works well when properly cleaned and sized.
Walkways, Patios, and Play Areas
Walkway gravel and pea gravel provide comfortable surfaces for garden paths and patios. Decomposed granite compacts well for ADA friendly paths. For playgrounds, select playground sand under play equipment for safety and drainage.
Garden Beds, Soil Improvements, and Grading
Topsoil and fill dirt are available for planting beds, lawn repairs, and grading around foundations. Use screened topsoil to establish turf or plantings, and fill dirt for bulk elevation changes and engineered fills.
Concrete and Masonry Work
#57 stone and mason sand are commonly used in concrete mixes and masonry. Washed sand is recommended when cleaner sand reduces impurities in concrete work.

Placement guidance and recommended installation
Our team advises on depth, compaction, and layering. For driveways we commonly recommend:

- 2 to 3 inches of wearing course using 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel
- Geotextile fabric on soft subgrades to reduce settlement
Local Conditions: Why Material Choice Matters in Obion County
Obion County lies in northwest Tennessee with flat to gently rolling terrain, rich alluvial soils, and several waterways including the Obion River and proximity to Reelfoot Lake. These regional characteristics influence material performance:
- Alluvial and silt loam soils common in the county can hold moisture and may need better drainage aggregates
- Near river corridors, seasonal high water and flooding require open graded stone for drainage
- Hot humid summers accelerate erosion on loose surfaces; stable aggregates reduce maintenance
Nearby counties such as Lake County, Dyer County, Gibson County, Weakley County, and Henry County share similar soil and drainage concerns. Our knowledge of local soils and weather patterns helps us recommend the right aggregates for Obion County conditions.
Ordering, Delivery, and Local Tips
Ordering bulk aggregates is different than buying bags at a big box store. Here are a few local tips to get the most from your delivery.
How to measure and plan
Measure length, width, and desired depth to estimate cubic yards. For driveways, account for compaction; ordering slightly more ensures full coverage. If you need help estimating yards, our team can assist for Obion County projects with specific site details.
Access and placement
Think about truck access, overhead lines, and soft spots where heavy trucks may bog. We can stage material at driveway edges, near barn doors, or at a safe roadside location when site access is limited.
Environmental considerations
When working near waterways or Reelfoot Lake areas, follow local erosion control and permitting rules. Using the right aggregates and proper placement reduces runoff and preserves water quality.
