Local soil and geology considerations
Summers County features deep Appalachian valleys, shale and sandstone outcrops, and alluvial soils along river corridors. Many yards and rural roads sit on acidic, clay-rich subsoils that hold moisture in wet months and shrink in dry spells. Using the right aggregates improves drainage, reduces frost heave, and stabilizes grades.
Product Benefits and Best Uses
3/4 inch Crushed Stone and #57 Stone
These angular aggregates interlock for strong bases. They provide excellent drainage and support for concrete, pavers, and driveways.
- Best for: driveways, concrete mix, base courses
- Benefits: high load capacity, excellent drainage, long service life
Driveway Gravel, Crusher Run, and Road Base
Blended materials that compact well and create stable surfaces for vehicles. Use road base for heavier traffic and crusher run for compacted layers.
- Best for: private driveways, farm lanes, parking areas

Drain Rock and #57 Stone
Angular drain rock allows water to flow freely around pipes and beneath foundations. It resists settling and clogging when installed with geotextile fabric.
- Best for: French drains, footing drains, culverts
- Benefits: improved drainage, reduced hydrostatic pressure
Topsoil and Fill Dirt
Topsoil improves plant health and establishment, while fill dirt provides structural mass for grading and embankments. We recommend screened topsoil for lawn projects to remove rock and debris.

River Rock, Pea Gravel, and Decomposed Granite
Decorative aggregates add texture to patios, beds, and water features. River rock is ideal where smooth, natural stone is desired. Decomposed granite compacts to a stable walking surface.

Mason sand, washed sand, and playground sand each have specific uses from masonry to surfacing. Washed sand is excellent for paver bedding in the wet climate of Summers County.
