Choosing the Right Aggregates for Your Spring Projects

Spring is here, and with it comes the opportunity to tackle new outdoor projects. Whether you're refreshing your driveway, enhancing your landscaping, or preparing for a construction project, choosing the right aggregate material is essential. At Thomas Contracting, we offer a range of high-quality aggregates tailored to meet your specific needs. Here’s a guide to help you select the best material for your spring projects.

1. Crushed Run – Ideal for Driveways and Pathways

Crushed run is a versatile and durable aggregate that is perfect for creating driveways, walkways, and pathways. Its angular edges provide excellent compaction, reducing the risk of shifting and ensuring long-term stability. If your driveway has suffered from winter wear and tear, replenishing it with fresh crushed run can enhance both its function and appearance.

2. Clear Stone – Great for Drainage and Landscaping

Clear stone is a popular choice for spring projects, offering excellent drainage and a natural aesthetic. It can be used for:

• Drainage Solutions: Prevent water buildup around foundations and in gardens by using gravel for drainage systems.

• Landscaping: Create decorative borders, garden paths, or a low-maintenance ground cover that enhances curb appeal.

• Play Areas: Pea gravel is a smooth, small-sized aggregate that is ideal for playgrounds and under swing sets.

3. Screenings – Perfect for Walkways and Pavers

Screening is a fine, crushed material that compacts well, making it ideal for:

• Paver Bases: Ensuring a firm foundation for patios, walkways, and interlocking stone.

• Paths and Trails: Creating smooth and well-compacted walkways in gardens or parks

4. Sand
