Buy Base Rock in Fulton, MO

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Fulton, MO the easy way. Pick your material online, choose a quantity by the ton or the yard, and set a delivery date at checkout. Missouri Rock Supply stocks base rock, the standard central Missouri base, along with washed stone, sand and soil.

Fulton sits in Callaway County on silty loess ridgetops over cherty clay and limestone. That ground moves when it gets wet, so a driveway built on base rock holds up far better than one built on dirt alone.

Materials for Fulton Projects

Driveways and parking pads start with base rock. This is the dense graded material Missouri quarries sell as type 5 base or type 1 base. Tamp it and it locks into a hard, load bearing course. Order Base Rock for the base course of a drive, a shed pad or a farm lane.

Top the base with a surfacing grade. Driveway Gravel dresses an existing drive or caps a compacted base rock layer. If you want a material with fines that binds as it compacts, Crusher Run does that job on drives and yard approaches.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean or clean rock, has no fines, so it drains instead of holding moisture. Use it in French drains, septic fields and concrete mixes. Drain Rock covers foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints, while Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over the rocky ground and fill left behind after grading.

Ground and Conditions in Fulton

Start with where the water goes. Storm runoff drops fast off the steep bluffs and hillsides around Fulton into narrow valleys, and some of it drains underground through sinkholes in the limestone and dolomite. Whatever the ground cannot take in runs across your drive or your pad.

Loess washes away easily, so runoff cuts gullies into bare slopes and road cuts. That is why a driveway needs a compacted base rock course rather than a skim of gravel over topsoil, and why the shoulders should shed water off the edges instead of ponding on them.

Winter brings frequent freeze-thaw cycles. January nights average below freezing while most days thaw, so the ground works up and down all season. Frost depth here is moderate and set by the local building code, shallower toward Cape Girardeau than around St. Louis and Hannibal.

Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups. Low ground near the rivers can stay wet or under water well after a flood crest, so plan those loads for drier stretches and keep a drainage layer under anything you build there.
