Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Arcadia, MO

Where does runoff off the steep knobs above your place end up, and what stops it from cutting your drive or bank? Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Arcadia, MO, and the answer usually starts with coarse stone. In the Lead Belt, that begins with base rock. This is rocky Ozark ground, so the right stone matters.

Materials for Arcadia Projects

Fast water off the knobs and creek banks that rise in a storm are what coarse stone solves. Order by size, from the heaviest armor down to the fine material that beds pavers, and match the size to the job.

• RipRap is the heavy option for creek bank, pond dam, culvert outlet and slope armoring where storm flows cut into soil.
• Large River Rock works in dry creek beds and on heavier decorative and erosion jobs.
• #4 Crushed Stone, sold as 4 stone, handles heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances at a coarse washed size.
• #57 Limestone, or 1 inch clean, is washed rock with no fines for French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate.
• Screenings, the limestone screenings Missouri quarries sell, set pavers, flagstone and patio bedding.

For a drive or parking pad, base rock goes down first and compacts into a firm course under whatever surface you place. Crusher Run binds with its own fines, and Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base. Do not call base rock or crusher run clean rock; clean rock means washed stone with no fines.

Delivery to Arcadia and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or yard, and size the load with the calculator before you check out. Pick your delivery date at checkout, then a dump truck brings the load to your site. Missouri Rock Supply covers Arcadia and the rest of Iron County, including Ironton, Viburnum, Annapolis, Des Arc and Belleview.

Think about where the truck can set the pile, because a load of rip rap or 4 stone has to land where you can reach it with equipment. Pick the date at checkout and have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives.

Ground and Conditions in Arcadia

This is the St. Francois Mountains, with thin rocky soils on the knobs and silty clay over dolomite and sandstone in the basins. Rain runs off the steep rock quickly and gathers in the valley creeks, which rise fast in heavy storms, so swales and banks take the hit first.

Spring storms are the main hold-up. Basin creeks run high and low ground stays wet, and midwinter freezes stop work too. January nights average below freezing and days usually thaw, so ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. Frost depth is shallower than northern Missouri, and footing depth is set by the local building code.

That timing shapes what you order. Wet basin ground will not compact, so place drainage stone and armor first, then build base when it dries. If a low spot needs raising before a base rock course goes down, Fill Dirt handles backfill and grade work.
