Materials for Baring Projects

Most decorative work here starts with ground cover that will not wash out. River rock and large river rock build dry creek beds and borders that hold against spring runoff. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas where you want a softer surface underfoot.

For a patio or path, screenings, also called limestone screenings, bed pavers and flagstone. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through hot summers. Where a drive or pad needs structure first.

For drainage, 1 inch clean, also called #57 stone, is washed with no fines and lets water move. Rip rap armors creek banks and culvert outlets against high water. For a driveway surface, order driveway gravel over a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in Baring

Baring sits in the Northern Missouri glacial plains, where silty loess covers dense glacial clay till. Water perches on that clay subsoil and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring, and heavy spring rain floods creek and river bottoms.

An under-built base fails fast in that ground. If you skip a compacted base rock course under a drive or shed pad, the clay holds water and the surface stone works loose. Loess and till slopes also cut rills and gullies when they are bare or freshly graded, which is why rip rap and ground cover matter on banks.

Timing counts. Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring, so base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall, between the wet season and the first hard freeze. January nights average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over. Frost depth here is the deepest in Missouri, and the local building code sets footing depth.
