Materials for Local Projects
Driveways and private roads
For farm lanes and residential access in areas with clay or silt-rich soils, we recommend a layered approach: compactable road base or crusher run topped with a durable wearing course such as driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone. This combination helps resist potholes and rutting during Wisconsin's freeze-thaw seasons.
Drainage and erosion control
Proper drainage is essential in Richland County's coulees and hollows. Use drain rock or #57 stone around culverts, French drains, and footing drains to move water away from structures and reduce saturation of silty soils.
Landscaping and garden projects
Topsoil blends and decorative rock help establish resilient plantings on hill slopes and terraces. Use topsoil for new lawns, river rock for waterwise beds, and decomposed granite for natural-looking paths that lock in place.
Recycled and cost-effective options
For economical building pads and temporary roads, crushed concrete provides a strong subbase. Pair with crusher run or road base to create a compacted surface that supports heavy farm equipment.
Sands for masonry and play
For paver projects and playgrounds, choose mason sand and playground sand. Washed sand is also available for improved drainage and clean bedding.
Paths and patios
Walkways in shaded yards and around historic properties benefit from walkway gravel or pea-sized stone such as pea gravel which provides a smooth walking surface while allowing water infiltration.
Comparison of Common Gravel Types
| Gravel Type | Best For | Size | Drainage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3/4 inch Crushed Stone | Driveway wearing course, base | 3/4 inch | Good |
| #57 Stone | Drainage trenches, concrete mix | 1/2 inch - 1 inch | Excellent |
| Driveway Gravel | Residential drives | Mixed sizes | Good |
| Crusher Run / Road Base | Compactable base for roads | Mixed fines | Fair |
| River Rock / Pea Gravel | Decorative beds and paths | Pea to 3 inch | Good |
Best Practices for Installing Aggregates in Richland County
Site preparation
Grade and remove organic top layers where possible before placing base materials. On loess and silt soils common in the Driftless Area, establish a firm subgrade and use geotextile fabric under base aggregate in wet spots.
Layering and compaction
Use a layered approach: compacted road base or crusher run, followed by a wearing course such as 3/4 inch crushed stone or a graded driveway mix. Proper compaction reduces maintenance and prevents water intrusion.
Drainage
Install culverts and perimeter drains with drain rock or #57 stone to move water away from structures. Consider swales and slope control when working on steep coulees.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice in Richland County
Richland County lies in Wisconsin's Driftless Area. The terrain features steep ridges, narrow valleys, and loess deposits over bedrock. That unique geology influences drainage and soil stability. Homeowners and contractors here often face:
- Shallow topsoil on ridge tops
- Loess and silt loam that compacts and holds moisture
- Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that cause frost heave
Because of these factors, choosing the right aggregates and proper installation is essential for long-term performance.
