Materials for Bourbon Projects

Most jobs here start with grade. Fill dirt raises a low spot or builds up a pad before anything else goes down. Once the pad is shaped, base rock carries the load.

On softer ground, crusher run adds fines that bind and compact under traffic. For a finished drive, cap the compacted base with driveway gravel, which many quarries here sell as road rock by top size.

For drainage, order 1 inch clean, sold as #57 stone, which is washed with no fines so water moves through. Rip rap holds creek banks, pond dams and culvert outlets against storm runoff. River rock and large river rock finish dry creek beds and decorative beds.

Patios and walkways call for a different set. Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, while walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface. Natural Pea Gravel works for play areas and bedding, and mason sand fills paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Bourbon

This is Ozark Plateau ground: cherty, rocky clay over limestone and dolomite, thin and stony on slopes and ridges, with a thin silty cap on some flatter uplands. An under-built base fails fast on soil like that.

Heavy storms send fast runoff off rocky slopes into narrow valleys and creeks, and on the flatter uplands much of it drains underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. That runoff also washes soil and chert gravel off slopes and graded ground.

So build the pad thick enough and shape it to shed water. Spring is the wettest stretch and creeks rise quickly, so time grading work around that. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does.

January nights average below freezing and days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles are frequent. Frost depth runs shallower than northern Missouri, and the local building code sets footing depth.
