Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run is the standard for base and top course on most residential driveways. A compacted layer of 4 to 6 inches usually provides a long-lasting, stable surface.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone or drain rock works best because it has no fines to clog the system. It allows water to percolate quickly around foundations, behind retaining walls, or in French drains.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of crusher run, then add a 1-inch layer of concrete sand or Natural Pea Gravel for setting pavers or flagstone. This combination provides drainage and stability.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Use screened topsoil for new planting beds or lawn grading. Cover with hardwood mulch to control weeds and keep soil cool.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 52561 in Fremont covers a mix of older built-up lots and newer subdivisions plus rural acreages. This variety means material choice often depends on the specific site conditions.

Some areas have well-drained Top Soil, while others have clay-rich soil that can hold water after heavy rain. On slow-draining sites, Crushed Stone becomes more important for drainage projects.

Freeze-thaw cycles in Iowa can shift poorly compacted surfaces, so using a compactable material with fines (like crusher run) on driveways helps maintain stability through winter weather.
