Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Gower, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gower, MO, with base rock, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock all stocked for the Clinton County area. If you are grading a pad, building up a low spot or bedding a new walk, the material you need is here.

Gower sits on silty loess over glacial clay till, so most jobs start with fill and finish with a compacted base course before anything else goes down.

Materials for Gower Projects

Most projects around here begin below grade. You strip the top, correct the shape, then build back up. That order is why soil and fill lead the list, and why the rock you put on top only performs as well as the material underneath it.

Start with Fill Dirt to raise grade, fill low spots and backfill before a base rock course goes down. On the tight claypan under the flat prairies of the northeast, a fill lift that is shaped and packed early saves you from reworking a driveway later.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil gives you screened material to work into heavy clay and fill. Use Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas where roots need something looser than the native ground.

Under all of it goes base rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base. It is the standard Missouri base material for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Order Base Rock for any compacted structural layer.

Where you want a material that binds and compacts with fines, Crusher Run does that job, and Driveway Gravel tops an existing compacted course. For water, Drain Rock and 1 inch clean handle French drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls. Clean rock means washed stone with no fines, so keep it out of base layers and use it only where water moves.

Ground and Conditions in Gower

Plan around water first. Rain perches on the clay subsoil, and on flat ground it stands from late fall into spring. Heavy spring rain also floods the creek and river bottoms, so anything low and level needs an outlet before it needs more rock.

Your drainage layer is what carries that water away. 1 inch clean, sold locally as #57 stone, is washed with no fines, so the voids stay open and water keeps moving instead of sitting in the stone.

Bare or freshly graded ground on loess and till slopes cuts rills and gullies fast. Get cover on it the same season, whether that is base rock, topsoil and seed, or rip rap at a culvert outlet.

Timing matters as much as material. 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.

Delivery to Gower and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you point it. Think about that spot before the truck rolls: a firm, clear, level place to dump, room to pull out, and no overhead wires or low limbs. Soft ground after a wet stretch is the usual problem, so pick a high, dry spot if you have one.

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or yard, size the load with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Have your pad staked or marked so the driver knows where to drop.

Delivery covers Gower and the rest of Clinton County, including Cameron, Lathrop, Plattsburg, Trimble and Turney.

Questions About Ordering in Gower

What stone should I use for drainage in Gower?

Start with 1 inch clean, the washed stone Missouri quarries sell as #57 stone, for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. It has no fines, so water moves through it. Drain Rock works for the same jobs. Keep base rock and crusher run out of drainage, since their fines hold water.
