Materials for Bunker Projects

Most jobs here start with grade. Low spots, building pads and driveway crowns all need fill and sub-base before a finished surface goes down.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills. Put it down first, compact it, then cap it with base rock.

Base Rock is the standard Missouri base. It carries a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base or a farm lane.

Crusher Run compacts and binds because it keeps its fines. Use it where you want the course to lock together.

Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base rock course. Road rock, sold by top size, does the same work on long rural drives.

Water is the other half of the job. Drain Rock handles French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. RipRap armors creek banks, pond dams and culvert outlets against high water.

What to order for a patio

Bed the pavers in Screenings, the fine crushed stone Missouri quarries sell for paver and flagstone bedding. Set them on compacted base rock, not on raw clay.

Ground and Conditions in Bunker

The ground here is cherty, rocky clay over limestone and dolomite. It is thin and stony on slopes and ridges, with a thin silty cap on some flatter uplands. Sinkholes, springs and losing streams are common.

That ground punishes a thin base. Clay holds water, softens and lets the stone above it pump and rut. Build the base thick enough for the load, compact it in lifts, and cap it with a clean, free-draining surface.

Heavy storms send fast runoff off the slopes into narrow valleys and creeks. On the flatter uplands, much of the water drains underground through cracks in the bedrock. Runoff also washes soil and chert gravel down into sinkholes and openings.

Plan around it. Crown the drive, ditch the uphill side and give water a path away from the pad. Spring is the wettest stretch and storms raise creeks quickly, so timing matters. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does.

Winters are milder than northern Missouri, but January nights still average below freezing and days usually thaw. That means frequent freeze-thaw cycles. Footing depth follows the local building code.
