Drain Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Crane, MO

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Crane, MO, start with the ground you are building on. Cherty, rocky clay sits over limestone and dolomite here, thin and stony on the slopes and ridges. That ground drains fast in some spots and holds water in others, so base rock and clean stone do different jobs on the same lot. Missouri Rock Supply delivers bulk material to Crane and the rest of Stone County.

Materials for Crane Projects

Water is the material problem in Crane. Storms pour off the rocky slopes, and on the flatter uplands water disappears into sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. Washed stone with no fines keeps that water moving instead of letting it pool and soften a base. Sizes run coarsest to finest, and each one suits a different part of a drainage job.

• #4 Crushed Stone, also called 4 stone or 2 inch clean, for heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.
• #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean, for French drains, downspout runs, septic fields and drywells.
• Drain Rock, the general washed stone for foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls.
• #67 Stone, a slightly smaller washed size for drainage and concrete work.
• Screenings, also called limestone screenings, for paver and flagstone bedding and path surfacing.

Base materials are a separate decision. Base Rock, called type 5 base or type 1 base around here, is the standard Missouri base under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Crusher Run does the same binding job in drives and pads. Neither is clean rock, and neither should be used for a drain.

Ground and Conditions in Crane

Spring is the wettest stretch here, and storms raise the creeks quickly. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does, so the season you schedule around is the wet one, not the frozen one. Plan a delivery for a stretch when the ground is workable and the truck can reach the spot you have picked out.

Once water is on the move, it washes soil and chert gravel off slopes and graded ground, and soil can wash down into sinkholes and openings in the bedrock. Rip rap armors creek banks, pond dams, culvert outlets and slopes against that. On a graded lot, get fill dirt and a compacted base rock course down before the next storm, and put clean stone where the water actually runs.

Winters are milder than northern Missouri, but January nights still average below freezing and days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles come often. Footing depth is set by the local building code, not by us. What matters for a drive or pad is a base that compacts and a drainage layer that keeps water out of it.
