Start with crusher run if you are building a drive or a pad. From there, the washed stone sizes cover the drainage work that this ground asks for.

Materials for Athens Projects

Water is the thing to plan around here. Rain off steep slopes gathers into the hollows and has to go somewhere, so a lot of work in Athens comes down to clean stone that lets water move.

#57 Limestone is washed 1 inch clean stone. It goes in French drains, drywells, downspout runs and pipe bedding, and it stays open because there are no fines in it to pack tight.

#67 Stone is the 3/4 inch clean washed size. Use it for drainage beds and concrete aggregate, and for bedding where #57 is a shade too big for the trench.

#8 Limestone is a small washed chip, roughly 3/8 inch down to 1/4 inch. It suits paver joints, fine drainage and a dressing over a compacted base.

Drain Rock is clean stone for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. On ground that sheds water fast, it gives the water a path instead of a puddle.

For the base under any of that, Crusher Run is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up under a roller and holds a grade on a hillside drive. Local quarries sell it by top size, 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch and coarser.

Class 1 Base is the heavier base course for drives, parking pads and slabs. It is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Ground and Conditions in Athens

Work here runs most of the year. Long wet spells hold it up more than cold does, and saturated hillside fill will not compact until it drains.

The ground across the Allegheny Plateau coalfields is steep hillsides of acid, stony residuum over sandstone, shale and coal measures. Flat ground is scarce, and much of what is flat is fill.

That is why drainage comes before surfacing. A drive on a slope takes runoff gathered from well uphill, so a clean stone layer and a place for the water to leave matter as much as the base does.

This is also landslide country. Mine regolith is the most slide-prone material on these slopes, and unreclaimed workings, road cuts and sidecast fill are the usual triggers.

Frost depth is set by the county or municipal building official. Confirm the local figure before you set anything that depends on it.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Athens?

Crusher run is the usual choice for a drive base here. The fines left in it lock up under a roller and hold a grade on a hillside.

Where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier course to build up first, with a finer crusher run class on top for a tighter surface.
