Our Most Popular Products in Union County
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: For a long-lasting surface, choose a compactable material like crusher run. A base layer of 3/4" crushed gravel improves stability on clay or soft ground.
- Drainage: Use Crushed Stone or drain rock when you need water to move quickly. Avoid materials with fines that can clog the system.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of 3/4" crushed gravel, then top with stone screenings or sand for a level setting bed. This prevents shifting under pavers or flagstone.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone like Natural Pea Gravel works well for dry beds, while garden soil or top soil supports flower beds and vegetable gardens. Add mulch on top to retain moisture.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
Union County combines agricultural valleys, forested foothills, and small-town properties. The terrain varies from flat farmland to sloped lots near the Blue Mountains.
Soil types range from fast-draining loam in the valley bottoms to heavier clay in upland areas. Freeze-thaw cycles during winter can shift driveways and patios, making a compactable base essential for stability.
Rural properties often have long driveways that require a durable surface to handle equipment and weather. Homeowners in the more suburban parts of the county may have smaller lots with tight access for trucks.
Delivery and Access in Union County
Delivery planning in Union County depends on the property layout, truck access, and drop location.
Rural driveways, tight turns, steep grades, soft ground, and overhead clearance can affect the truck size or unloading point.
Before scheduling, customers should know where the material should be dropped, whether the truck can turn around, and whether the driveway or job site can handle the load. American Rock Supply serves much of Union County and works with buyers to find a safe delivery spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about gravel and aggregate delivery in Union County, OR
Does American Rock Supply deliver throughout Union County?
Yes, we deliver to residential and commercial properties across much of Union County. Coverage includes the main towns and rural areas. If you are unsure about your location, contact us with your delivery address for confirmation.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Union County?
For most driveways, 1" minus crushed gravel (crusher run) works best because it compacts into a firm, stable surface. A base layer of 3/4" crushed gravel underneath can improve drainage and prevent shifting on softer soil.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Crushed Stone, typically 3/4" or 1-1/2", is ideal for foundation drainage. It does not contain fines, so water flows freely and reduces pressure against the wall. Use a filter fabric to separate the stone from the surrounding soil.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
You can estimate the volume by measuring the length, width, and depth of the area in feet. For a more accurate calculation, contact us with your rough dimensions and describe the project. We can advise on the right quantity and material type.
Can material be delivered to rural properties or long driveways in Union County?
Yes, we frequently deliver to rural homes and farms with long driveways. We just need to confirm that our trucks can access the drop point safely. Let us know about any narrow lanes, steep grades, or low branches when you schedule.
