You can place gravel directly on dirt for temporary paths, but for a long-lasting driveway in Union County's mountain soils we recommend preparing the subgrade first. Compact the soil, add a base layer of crushed rock if possible, and consider a geotextile fabric to improve drainage and reduce mixing with native clay.

Best practice is to grade and compact the soil, install geotextile fabric to limit mixing and weed growth, and add a compacted base layer of crushed stone or road base before the finish gravel. This is especially helpful in Union County where runoff and freeze-thaw can move material if the base is not stable.
