Our Most Popular Products in Lehigh County
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Crusher run is the standard choice for a compacted base and surface. For a decorative top coat, consider a clean stone like 57 limestone.
- Drainage: Crushed Stone (57 or 2B) works best around foundations and in French drains because it leaves voids for water. Avoid materials with fines that can clog drainage systems.
- Patios and walkways: Use paver base as the compacted sub-base, then a thin layer of mason sand for setting pavers. This combination provides stability and drainage.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil or garden soil enriches planting areas. For decorative cover, try shredded mulch or a clean decorative stone like river rock.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
Lehigh County sits in the Lehigh Valley with a mix of flat valley floor and rolling hills. The western and northern parts of the county include rural farms and steeper slopes, while the central and eastern areas hold suburban developments and compact town lots.
Soils vary from well-drained loam in the valley to heavier clay on the hillsides. After heavy rain, clay areas can stay soft and may need extra base thickness for driveways or staging areas. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter push materials to move, so compacted crusher run or a well-graded base is important for any paved surface.
Drainage planning matters more on sloped properties. Clean stone under the surface helps direct water away from structures and low areas.
Delivery and Access in Lehigh County
Delivery planning in Lehigh 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.

What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in Lehigh County?
Crusher run is the most common choice for driveways because it compacts into a firm, stable surface that handles daily traffic and freeze-thaw cycles.
For a cleaner look, you can top crusher run with a layer of 57 limestone.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Crushed Stone such as 57 limestone or 2B clean limestone is best because it contains no fines and lets water drain freely.
Use a filter fabric to keep soil from filling the voids.
What material works best under pavers or walkways?
Start with a compacted layer of paver base (or crusher run) for the sub-base, then screed a thin layer of mason sand before setting pavers.
This combination provides a stable, level surface that drains properly.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
