Gravel, Stone and Sand near North Uxbridge, MA, 1538

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run works well for new driveways because it compacts into a solid base. Top with 3/4 inch clean stone for a more finished look.
• Drainage: Use Crushed Stone around foundations, French drains, and behind retaining walls. Fines in crusher run can clog drainage, so stick with washed stone.
• Patios and walkways: Lay a base of 3/4 inch crushed stone, then set pavers on a thin layer of stone dust. Natural Pea Gravel works as a loose surface for casual paths.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Use screened topsoil for new beds and lawn topdressing. Hardwood mulch finishes the look and keeps weeds down.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 1538 in North Uxbridge mixes older built-up lots with newer subdivisions. The northern and western edges of the ZIP are more rural, with longer driveways and larger properties.

In the lower areas closer to the Mumford River, soils tend to hold more moisture. That makes Crushed Stone a better choice for drainage work than materials with fines.

On the upland sections, sandy soils drain fast. Crusher run works well for driveways there because it locks together and resists rutting.

Freeze-thaw cycles common in Worcester County can heave poorly compacted base layers. Proper compaction with crusher run reduces frost movement under driveways and patios.
