How much gravel do I need for my project?

It depends on the area you are covering and how deep the layer needs to be. Each product page has a calculator that takes your numbers and returns a quantity. Order by the ton or by the yard once you have that figure. If the material is going over soft ground, sort out the base layer first.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular rock that has been broken and screened, so it locks together and holds under a drive or a drainage bed. Natural Pea Gravel is small rounded stone, sold here as 3/8 inch natural pea gravel, and it does not lock up the same way. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and pipe bedding.

Ground Conditions Across Dundy County

Across the Southwest High Plains and the Republican valley, the ground is flat Ogallala tableland with silt and sandy loam over caliche and sandstone. Canyons cut through it, and the valley floors carry sand and gravel.

That caliche layer is the part that matters. Water moving down through the loam stops at the caliche and sits there, so an under-built base goes soft from below.

The same region is semi-arid ground, hard and tight most of the year. Then a summer thunderstorm drops its rain fast and the ground sheds nearly all of it as runoff into the draws and canyons.

That runoff cuts draws and canyon heads after storms, and dry spring wind strips bare tableland. Riprap on a bank or a culvert outlet, and a clean stone drainage layer under a drive, both work against that pattern.

Winters here are cold and dry with hard freezes and wide swings between day and night. Frost heave shows up in gravel drives through the thaw.

Frost depth in this part of Nebraska is commonly 48 to 60 inches, and the city or county building department sets the figure for its own jurisdiction. The Nebraska residential code leaves the frost line depth blank for the jurisdiction to fill in.

Materials Delivered in Dundy County

Crushed rock is the standard Nebraska base material. The same Section 1033 wording is repeated in the City of Lincoln standard specifications.

Order Crushed Rock Base for driveway and parking base, shed and slab bases, and the compacted layer under pavers. Gradation tables describe it as Crushed Rock for Base Course.

Crusher Run, also called crush and run or 3/4 inch minus, is a graded mix with fines that binds and compacts tight. It suits drives, pads and base work where that graded mix is wanted.

For the graded gravel that goes on top of a drive, a farm lane or a county road surface, order Driveway Gravel. Nebraska yards and road departments call this road gravel or surface gravel.

Top Soil, sold as black dirt or screened topsoil, covers lawns, grading and bed preparation. Platte River Sand, also called concrete sand or washed river sand, goes into concrete work and bedding under slabs and pavers.

Choosing the Right Material

Chase County, Hitchcock County and Hayes County all sit in the High Plains, and all three share the same ground region as Dundy County. Flat Ogallala tableland with silt and sandy loam over caliche and sandstone, cut by canyons, with sand and gravel in the valley floors.

The ground is the same, so the material reasoning is the same. A base course over caliche, a clean stone drainage layer where water sits, and riprap on any slope that takes fast runoff.

What changes is the job in front of you. A drive wants crushed rock underneath and road gravel on the surface.

A patio wants crusher run for the base and screenings for bedding and joints.

A drain wants clean stone: 1 inch clean rock, drain rock, or 3/4 inch rock where the trench is tighter. Natural Pea Gravel and chips suit pipe bedding and paver joints, and river rock and large river rock cover decorative beds and dry creek beds.
