Drain Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Blackwell, MO

Rain off the steep knobs above Blackwell runs fast and gathers in the basins below. Missouri Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Blackwell, MO for the drainage work that runoff demands, alongside base rock for the drives and pads it crosses.

Order washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, or base rock for everything that has to sit on top of wet ground.

Materials for Blackwell Projects

Start with drainage. Water off the knobs carries soil and grit onto roads and drives, and storm flows cut creek banks in the basins. Washed stone with no fines lets that water move instead of ponding.

We work from the coarsest drainage stone down to the finest bedding, so you can match the size to the job.

For creek bank armoring, culvert outlets and slope protection, rip rap is the coarse answer. It locks together under high water and holds a bank in place. See RipRap.

For heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances, #4 crushed stone gives you open void space and weight. See #4 Crushed Stone.

For French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, 1 inch clean is the standard washed size. It is sold as #57 stone, washed with no fines, so it drains rather than holds water. See #57 Limestone.

For pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base, 3/8 inch clean stays fine and walkable. See 3/8" Crushed Stone.

For drywells and tight drainage beds, drain rock packs into a smaller footprint without sealing off. See Drain Rock.

For paver, flagstone and patio bedding, screenings bind and level. See Screenings.

Under all of it, base rock is the Missouri base material for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. See Base Rock.

A dump truck delivers to your site and drops the load where you need it. Blackwell sits in St. Francois County, and we cover the surrounding area, including Farmington, Park Hills, Bonne Terre, Bismarck and Leadwood.

Rural drives and tight creek-side lots both work. Tell us where the truck can turn around and where the pile should land.

Ground and Conditions in Blackwell

Plan around the working season. Spring storms are the main hold-up, when basin creeks run high and low ground stays wet. Midwinter freezes stop work too.

The ground here is rocky, thin soils on steep knobs of granite and rhyolite, with silty clay over dolomite and sandstone in the basins between them. That silty clay holds water and turns soft.

So drainage has to go in before the surface does. Put a washed stone layer under a drive or pad, not just on top of wet clay.

Frost is moderate. January nights average below freezing and days usually thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly through winter. The local building code sets footing depth, and the building official is the one to follow on that.
