Materials for Grain Valley Projects

Decorative rock does more than dress up a bed. On clay ground it slows runoff, holds soil in place and gives you a surface you can walk on without sinking. Match the stone to the job.

River Rock covers decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. It handles water that sheets across a slope instead of soaking in.

Large River Rock goes into dry creek beds and heavier erosion work. Bigger stone stays put when a storm pushes water through.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas, walkways and bedding. Smooth underfoot and easy to rake back into place.

Top Soil and Shredded Mulch finish the beds. Screened topsoil gives roots something to work with, and mulch holds moisture through a hot Missouri summer.

For a bed that has to shed water, build the base first. A compacted course of base rock under decorative stone keeps the top layer from pumping into the clay.

Drain Rock handles French drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls. Water that perches above the clay subsoil needs somewhere to go.

Ground and Conditions in Grain Valley

Grain Valley sits on the Osage Plains, where clay, silty clay and sandy clay weather from shale, limestone and sandstone. Under the flatter ground the subsoil is dense and drains slowly.

That clay soaks up little rain. Storm water runs off slopes fast and stands on flat ground. Water also perches above the clay subsoil through winter and early spring.

An under-built base fails here. Stone spread thin over soft clay pumps and ruts the first wet season, and no amount of surface gravel fixes it. Compact the base rock course before the top layer goes down.

Fast runoff off clay slopes cuts rills and gullies in bare or graded ground, and heavy storms eat into creek banks. Rip rap and large river rock armor those edges before the next storm takes more.

Clay ground is often saturated from winter into spring. Late spring through fall is the easier window for base and driveway work. January nights average below freezing and most days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, and frost depth is set by the local building code.
