Drain Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Bonne Terre, MO

Where does the water go after a hard storm in Bonne Terre? If the answer is your driveway, your shed floor or your crawlspace, you need washed stone, not base rock. Missouri Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Bonne Terre, MO by the ton, and most of the trouble here starts with runoff off the knobs and basins.

Start with the material that moves water, then build the rest of the job around it. Base rock goes under the drive; clean rock carries the water away.

Materials for Bonne Terre Projects

The fastest way to choose stone is by size. Coarse washed stone drains the fastest, and the finer grades pack, bed and finish. Here is what to order, coarsest to finest.

For anything underground, order 1 inch clean, the washed 1 inch stone Missouri quarries sell as #57 stone. It has no fines, so water passes straight through. Use it in a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run and the trench stays open.

The bigger washed sizes handle volume. #4 Crushed Stone works for heavy drainage and trench bottoms, and Railroad Ballast takes severe flow and hard standing. Where a creek bank or pond dam is cutting away, Rip Rap armors the slope before the next rise.

Under a drive, order Base Rock. Cap it with Driveway Gravel, or use Crusher Run where you want the fines to bind and compact. Finish walkways with Walkway Gravel and bed pavers on Screenings or Washed Sand.

Delivery to Bonne Terre and the Surrounding Area

You order online and set the quantity by the ton or the yard. The load calculator sizes the order, so you are not guessing at a number. Then you pick your delivery date at checkout.

Delivery covers Bonne Terre and the rest of St. Francois County, including Farmington, Park Hills, Bismarck, Leadwood and Doe Run. A dump truck brings bulk material to your site and places the pile where the driver can reach it. Steep knob lanes and tight basin driveways are worth a note at checkout so the truck is not blocked on arrival.

Ground and Conditions in Bonne Terre

This is St. Francois Mountains country: thin rocky soil on the knobs, silty clay over dolomite and sandstone in the basins. Rain sheds off the steep ground fast and gathers below, so plan the wet months before you plan the stone.

Spring storms are the main hold-up. Basin creeks run high and low ground stays wet, and midwinter freezes shut work down too. Time a delivery before the spring rise if you are cutting a drain, and put a washed layer under anything that has to stay dry.

Fast runoff carries soil and grit downhill onto drives and roads, which is why a clean, open-graded drainage layer beats a tight one on a Bonne Terre slope. Base goes down over fill that is already shaped; water goes into stone that lets it through. Frost here is moderate, and footing depth is set by the local building code.
