3/4 Inch Clean and Bulk Aggregates for Alexandria, MO

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Alexandria, MO, Missouri Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and the yard. This corner of Clark County sits on silty loess over glacial clay till, and that dense subsoil is why base rock matters here. Base rock gives you a compactable course that carries a drive or a shed pad.

Water is the other half of the job. Subsoils drain slowly, so washed stone earns its place on almost every project we see.

Materials for Alexandria Projects

Start with drainage, because the clay here holds water. Washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting on top. That makes it the right pick for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Sizes run coarsest to finest, and each one fits a different part of the work.

• #4 Crushed Stone, also sold as 4 stone or 2 inch clean, handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.
• #57 Limestone, or 1 inch clean, is the workhorse for French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone suits drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone covers fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base.

For the base itself, use Base Rock under a drive, pad or farm lane, and Crusher Run where you want fines that bind and compact. Driveway Gravel goes on top of a compacted base to finish the surface.

Ground and Conditions in Alexandria

Timing matters more than most people expect. Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring, so base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall. That window sits between the wet season and the first hard freeze, when the ground is firm enough to compact properly.

Winter here is hard on anything shallow. January nights average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws again and again. The local building code sets footing depth for structures, and that is a question for your builder. For drives and pads, the practical answer is a drainage layer of clean stone under the compacted base rock.

Runoff is the other local force. It cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground, and high water scours creek and river banks. RipRap armors culvert outlets, creek banks and pond dams against that. On flatter ground, where water perches on the claypan from late fall into spring, a French drain backfilled with clean rock keeps the water moving instead of standing.
