Why choose these aggregates in St. Croix County

Local geology in St. Croix County includes glacial till, river silt along the St. Croix River, and sandy loams in upland areas. Selecting the right aggregates reduces maintenance, improves drainage, and resists frost heave.

Angular gravel like 3/4 inch crushed stone locks together to resist shifting.
Drain rock and #57 stone channel water away from foundations and roads.
Topsoil and fill dirt restore productive planting zones after construction.

Common Projects Using Aggregates in St. Croix County

Seasonal weather, heavy snowfall, and freeze thaw cycles shape the way locals build. Aggregates provide reliable solutions for these conditions.

Driveways and Rural Road Access

A properly layered driveway with a compacted road base, followed by crusher run and a top layer of 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel prevents potholes and washouts.

Drainage and Erosion Control

Drain rock and #57 stone are commonly used around footings, under French drains, and at culverts to prevent water pooling and erosive runoff from hillsides above the river valley.

French drains with drain rock
Riprap-style erosion control using river rock for wet banks
Retention swales using mixed aggregates for filtration

Gardens, Play Areas, and Walkways

Washed sand and playground sand meet safety and drainage needs for parks and home play areas. Decomposed granite and walkway gravel create low-maintenance walking surfaces that suit dry summers and freeze cycles.

Topsoil, Fill Dirt, and Site Preparation

Construction in St. Croix County often disturbs native topsoil. Replacing and amending soil is essential for lawns, gardens, and erosion control.

Topsoil Uses

Our topsoil is screened and blended to improve seed germination and plant establishment in the county's common silt loam and sandy loam soils.

Fill Dirt and Grading

When grading for driveways or building pads, clean fill dirt provides stable lift without adding organics that settle over time.

Use fill dirt for subgrade builds and berms
Topsoil for finishing lawns and beds
Combine aggregates with topsoil for improved drainage in heavy clays

Local Climate, Soil, and Landscape Considerations

St. Croix County's climate features cold winters with snowpack and warm, humid summers. Soils vary from riverine silts along the St. Croix River to glacial till and sandier uplands. These conditions make proper aggregate selection critical.

Soil Types and Geology

Much of the county is underlain by glacial deposits with pockets of sand and gravel. In river valleys you will encounter silty and organic-rich soils that need drainage rock and rock underlayers to stabilize construction.

Seasonal Considerations

Freeze-thaw can cause frost heave in poorly drained bases. Using the correct aggregates, such as crusher run and road base, reduces maintenance and extends the life of driveways and paths.

Install a permeable base with road base or crusher run for frost resistance
Use drain rock around foundations to prevent water intrusion
Prefer angular aggregates for compaction and stability

Project Guides: Choosing the Right Aggregates

To get the most from your aggregates, match material, depth, and compaction to the intended use. Below are practical guidelines for common projects in St. Croix County.

Driveway Construction

For most county driveways, start with a structurally engineered road base. Follow with a layer of crusher run or 3/4 inch crushed stone and finish with driveway gravel for traction and weather resistance.

Base layer: road base or crusher run, 6 to 12 inches
Surface layer: 2 to 3 inches of 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel
Edge restraint: compacted shoulder using native material and road base

French Drains and Footing Drainage

Use drain rock and #57 stone to ensure consistent flow away from foundations. Proper geotextile separation keeps fines from clogging drainage long-term.

Landscaping Beds and Water Features

Decorative materials such as river rock and pea gravel are ideal for garden beds, dry creek channels, and patios. Pair with topsoil for planting areas and decomposed granite for crisp paths.
