Materials for Grandview Projects

Most work around here starts under the surface. Fill and sub-base raise grade and build pads before anything visible goes down. Get that layer right and the rest of the project holds.

Driveways, Lanes and Pads

Use fill dirt to raise low spots and build grade. Cap it with base rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base, the dense-graded material Missouri quarries sell for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Top the compacted course with driveway gravel or road rock for the wearing surface.

Patios, Walkways and Beds

Set pavers on screenings, the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing that locks bedding tight. Walkway gravel finishes paths that need a finer, walkable surface. River rock and large river rock handle dry creek beds and borders. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds through hot summers.

Drains that Move Water

Clay subsoil pushes water sideways, so drainage layers do the heavy lifting. Use 1 inch clean, sold as #57 stone, for French drains and septic fields. It is washed with no fines, so water passes through. Drain rock works foundation drains and downspout runs, and 3/4 inch clean covers drainage beds and construction entrances.

Ground and Conditions in Grandview

Grandview sits in the West-central plains, where clay, silty clay and sandy clay weathered from shale, limestone and sandstone. Under much of the flatter ground sits dense, slow-draining clay subsoil.

That soil soaks up little rain. Storm water runs off slopes fast and stands on flat ground, and it perches above the clay subsoil through winter and early spring. An under-built base on clay pumps, shifts and ruts.

Fast runoff off clay slopes also cuts rills and gullies in bare or graded ground. Heavy storms eat into creek banks, which is where rip rap earns its place on culvert outlets and slope armoring.

Timing matters. Clay ground is often saturated from winter into spring, so 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. Frost depth is set by the local building code, deeper toward Kansas City than at the southern end of the zone.
