Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Use crusher run or 3/4-inch gravel for a compacted surface that handles vehicle weight. Start with a compactable base layer to prevent rutting.
• Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone around foundations or in trenches. The absence of fines allows water to percolate and reduces hydrostatic pressure.
• Patios and walkways: Lay a base of Crushed Stone, then top with Stone Screenings or paver sand. This provides a stable, level surface that resists settling.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Use landscape mulch for weed suppression and moisture retention. For planting, topsoil or garden soil supports root growth better than straight sand.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

Lockeford covers a mix of older town lots and larger rural parcels. Many properties sit on relatively flat terrain, but some areas have slight slopes that affect drainage.

Soils here tend to be Top Soil that drains reasonably well, but heavier clay pockets can cause water to pond after rain. When clay is present, clean stone under patios or near foundations helps redirect moisture.

Dry summers and occasional winter freezes mean materials need to resist cracking and shifting. Compactable base materials like crusher run perform well in freeze-thaw cycles when properly installed.

Soft ground after rain can limit where the truck can drive. Plan to have a dry, level drop area near the project site. Overhead branches and low wires should be cleared or avoided.
