Driveway & Base Aggregates

Driveways and roadbeds in Ward County need aggregates that resist rutting, handle infrequent heavy loads, and shed water during rare heavy rain events. Our selection of driveway and base aggregates is suited to the county's sandy loam soils and seasonal flash drainage.

Driveway Gravel & 3/4 inch Crushed Stone

Driveway Gravel combines durable stone and angular shapes for traction and compaction. For stronger base layers use 3/4 inch Crushed Stone, which compacts tightly and creates a long lasting foundation for surface gravel. These materials are ideal for ranch driveways and access roads that need to withstand truck traffic.

Crusher Run and Road Base

Crusher Run and Road Base are excellent where a compactable, stable base is required. Use these under pavers, concrete pads, or as a primary base for heavier entranceways. They lock together for strength while allowing controlled settlement across Ward County's variable subgrades.

Recycled Options

When sustainability matters or budgets are tight, Crushed Concrete offers a recycled alternative with comparable performance for many base applications.

Drainage & Foundation Aggregates

Good drainage is essential in Ward County to protect foundations and roads from erosion during heavy storms. We stock drainage rock and specific sizes tailored to common trench and pipe applications.

#57 Stone and Drain Rock

#57 Stone is widely used for perimeter drains and bedding under pipes. For French drains and soakaway trenches, our Drain Rock provides high permeability and long term performance.

Design Tips for Local Soils

Ward County soils tend to be sandy with low organic content and moderate shrink-swell behavior. When building drains or foundation backfill, pair angular aggregates with geotextile fabric to prevent fines migration and preserve drainage capacity.

Decorative & Landscape Aggregates

For homeowners and property managers in Monahans and beyond, decorative rock and finer aggregates finish landscapes and reduce maintenance needs in the arid climate.

River Rock and Pea Gravel

Use River Rock where a soft, rounded look is desired. For pathways, patios, and play areas opt for Pea Gravel, which is comfortable underfoot and resists compaction.

Walkway Gravel and Decomposed Granite

Walkway Gravel and Decomposed Granite are both excellent choices for stable paths that fit desert xeriscape designs. These aggregates minimize water needs while providing inviting texture and color.

Sand, Soils, and Fill Materials

Vegetation and construction in Ward County often require soil amendment, leveling, or bedding. We supply screened soils and sands for a variety of uses.

Topsoil and Fill Dirt

Topsoil is screened and blended for planting beds and lawn restoration. For bulk grading and pad building choose Fill Dirt, which helps raise grades and build stable platforms for structures and equipment pads.

Mason Sand, Washed Sand, and Playground Sand

For masonry bedding and paver joints choose Mason Sand. If you need clean, free-draining sand for bedding and drainage use Washed Sand. For safe play surfaces, our Playground Sand meets common safety expectations.

Comparison of Common Gravel Types

Project Recommendations for Ward County Conditions

Ward County's climate is semi-arid, with hot summers and relatively low annual rainfall. Local soils include sandy loam and calcareous subsoils. These conditions favor well-draining aggregates and careful selection of base materials to avoid washouts and dust.

Driveways and Access Roads

• Use a compacted road base or crusher run under surface gravel to prevent rutting
• Top dress with durable driveway gravel for traction
• Consider larger stone near oilfield access points for heavier loads

Erosion Control and Drainage

• Use #57 stone or drain rock around culverts and French drains
• Pair aggregates with geotextile where fines might migrate into the stone

Landscaping and Water-wise Design

• Choose decomposed granite and river rock for low-water xeriscape beds
• Add screened topsoil only where plantings require it to preserve water retention
• Use pea gravel in play areas and mulch alternatives to reduce fire risk
