Common Uses for Aggregates in Refugio County
Aggregates are versatile. Below are typical project types in Refugio County and the materials we recommend.
Driveways and Access Roads
For farm lanes and residential drives, choose a layered approach. Start with road base or crushed concrete for sub-grade, compact with crusher run or 3/4 inch crushed stone as the surface. Our driveway gravel blends resist rutting and help with washout during heavy coastal storms.
Drainage and Erosion Control
#57 Stone and drain rock are ideal for french drains and rip rap at culvert inlets. River rock works well in open swales and riparian restoration where rounded stone is preferred for aesthetics and flow control.
Garden Beds, Play Areas, and Walkways
Topsoil over a compacted base with decomposed granite or walkway gravel creates stable, decorative paths. For playgrounds, playground sand gives safe cushioning. Pea gravel provides a soft, natural surface for patios and garden accents.
Foundations and Concrete Work
Crushed stone and #57 Stone provide reliable aggregate for concrete mixes and under-slab compaction in residential foundation work.
Land Grading and Reclamation
Fill dirt and topsoil delivery are used to raise building pads, repair erosion, and restore yards after site work. We blend topsoil for lawns to match regional soil types and promote establishment.
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 inch Crushed Stone | Driveways, base layers | 3/4 inch | Good |
| #57 Stone | Drainage, concrete | 3/8 to 1/2 inch | Excellent |
| Crusher Run | Compactable subbase | Mixed fines | Fair |
| Decomposed Granite | Paths, low-water gardens | Fine to small chips | Moderate |
| River Rock | Decorative beds, swales | Varies | Good |

Material Benefits and Selection Guide
Selecting the right aggregates matters in Refugio County because local soils can vary from sandy coastal deposits to clay and limestone. Below are key benefits for common materials we supply.
Driveway Gravel and Road Base
- Driveway Gravel: provides a stable driving surface and resists rutting
- Road Base: engineered for load-bearing and long-term stability
Crushed Stone and #57 Stone
- Crushed stone compacts and forms a firm surface for pavers and slabs
- #57 Stone: excellent for drainage trenches and as a concrete aggregate

Refugio County Geography, Soil, and Weather Considerations
Located on the Texas Coastal Plain, Refugio County includes low elevations, marshy areas near the bay, and thin limestone ridges inland. Soils range from sandy, well-draining coastal deposits to heavier clays in low-lying pastures. Summers are hot and humid while winters are mild; heavy rains from tropical storms can cause erosion and ponding.
Local Soil Types
The county commonly has sandy loams near the coast and calcareous clays inland. When working on driveways or building pads, adding road base and crusher run improves load-bearing capacity over soft organic soils.
Climate and Seasonal Tips
In spring and hurricane season, expect wetter ground conditions. Use drain rock and proper grading to protect driveways and foundations. In summer, compacted aggregates reduce dust and migration of fines.
Nearby Counties
We also operate near neighboring counties like Aransas County, San Patricio County, and Live Oak County. Cross-county knowledge helps with material selection for projects that span property lines or regional watersheds.
Project Types and Recommended Aggregates
Residential Driveway Installations
For a long-lasting driveway, excavate to stable subgrade, place road base or crushed concrete, compact, then surface with 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel. This layered approach reduces maintenance and improves drainage.
Commercial and Farm Access Roads
Use engineered road base and crusher run for heavy loads and frequent equipment traffic. Add a top layer of crushed stone for traction in wet weather.
Landscape Beds and Decorative Work
River rock and pea gravel provide low-maintenance decorative solutions. Use decomposed granite for pathways and patios that require a more natural appearance.
Drainage and Utility Work
#57 Stone and drain rock work well around pipes and in french drains. Place filter fabric beneath rock to reduce silt migration in sandy soils.
