Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in De Kalb, MO

If you are planning gravel and aggregate delivery in De Kalb, MO, Missouri Rock Supply can get it to your site. Most jobs around here start with base rock, the dense crushed stone that carries a drive, a parking pad or a farm lane. This is silty loess country over clay till, so what goes under the surface matters as much as what you see.

Order online, set your quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it out.

Materials for De Kalb Projects

Driveways are the work we see most in this county, and they take two different materials: a base course that locks up and a surface course that sheds water. Start with the base and the rest holds.

• Base Rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base. This is the standard Missouri base material. Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.
• Driveway Gravel. Surfacing over a compacted base rock course, or topping an existing drive that has gone dusty and loose.
• Crusher Run. Base and drives where you want a material with fines that compacts and binds tight.
• #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean or clean rock. Washed, no fines, so it drains. French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate.
• Screenings. The fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing. Paver, flagstone and patio bedding, plus path surfacing.

Clean rock has no fines, so keep it out of base courses. Base rock and crusher run need those fines to bind.

Ground and Conditions in De Kalb

Water is the driver here. It perches on the clay subsoil, and on flat ground it stands from late fall into spring. Spring rain also floods the creek and river bottoms.

That shapes how you build. A driveway that sits on wet, unshaped ground will pump and rut no matter how much stone you put on it. Shape the grade first, then bring in your base rock in lifts and compact it.

Where water has nowhere to go, run a drainage layer instead. Drain Rock works in French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and behind retaining walls.

Runoff also cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground. High water scours creek and river banks, which is where RipRap earns its place on banks, culvert outlets and pond dams.

Timing matters. Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring, so base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall, between the wet season and the first hard freeze. January nights average well below freezing here while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over.
