Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: For a stable, long-lasting driveway, use a compactable crushed stone like crushed limestone as a base. A top layer of clean decorative gravel can be added for appearance.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone or river rock without fines allows water to flow freely. Avoid materials with dust that can clog the drainage system.
• Patios and walkways: A compacted base of crushed limestone topped with concrete sand creates a solid foundation for pavers. The sand fills joints and locks the pavers in place.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative gravel or river rock works well for low-maintenance beds. For planting, use topsoil or garden soil to give roots the nutrients they need.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 64146 in Kansas City includes a mix of older established lots and newer subdivisions. Soil types vary, with some areas having heavy clay that drains slowly and others with Top Soil that drains quickly.

Freeze-thaw cycles in the region can shift unconsolidated materials, so compactable base layers are important for driveways and patios. Properties on slopes or near drainage corridors may need additional erosion control.

Consider the amount of rain and runoff typical in your specific area when choosing between clean stone and material with fines. Clean stone works best where water movement is critical.
