Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Earth City, MO online. Missouri Rock Supply sells base rock, stone, sand and topsoil by the ton or yard, and a dump truck drops it at your site.

Ground here is silty loess over cherty clay and limestone. That shapes what you buy.

Ground and Conditions in Earth City

Paver patios fail here the same way almost every time. The base course is too thin, so the loess under it pumps when it gets wet.

Storm runoff drops fast off steep bluffs and hillsides into narrow valleys. Water also drains underground through sinkholes where limestone sits close to the surface. Either path moves water under a patio or flatwork that was not built for it.

Build the base course deep and compact it in lifts. Keep a drainage layer under and beside the slabs. Loess washes away easily, so a bare slope above a patio will gully and dump silt onto your work.

Time the work around the season. Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups. Low ground near the rivers stays wet well after a flood crest.

Materials for Earth City Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the material decision that carries the job. Get it right and the surface stays flat for years. Get it wrong and you are resetting stone in two winters.

Start with base rock. It is the standard Missouri base material, also called type 5 base or type 1 base. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Base Rock compacts hard and takes the load.

Top the base with Screenings. Screenings are the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing, and they are the Missouri choice for paver, flagstone and patio bedding. Screed them level, then set the stone.

Use Crusher Run where you want a material with fines that binds and compacts. It suits base courses and drives. Never treat it as clean rock; clean rock has no fines.

For wet ground, Drain Rock handles French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.
