Harrison County, MO Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery
Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Harrison County, MO. The ground here is silty loess laid over glacial clay till, and that dense subsoil changes how you build. Base rock is the material most local projects start with, because a driveway, shed pad or farm lane needs a compacting course before anything goes on top.
Water perches on the clay and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring. Planning for that early saves you a rebuild later.

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site. That covers Bethany, Ridgeway, Gilman City, Blythedale, Eagleville, New Hampton, Cainsville, Hatfield and Martinsville.
Not sure how much you need? Use the calculator to size the load before you check out. Bulk delivery means the material arrives loose and gets dumped where you want it placed.
Materials delivered in Harrison County
Base rock carries the most weight in local work. Type 1 and Type 5 are 1 inch dense-graded mixes of crushed stone and fines. Type 5 also caps the finest dust fraction, and Type 7 is a coarser 1-1/2 inch grade.
Order base rock for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. From there, the rest of the list runs coarsest to finest.
Clean rock means washed stone with no fines, so keep that term for drainage grades and never for base rock or crusher run. Natural Pea Gravel, river rock and washed sand round out the list for play areas, borders and slab bedding.
Ground conditions across Harrison County
The working season shapes everything here. 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.
Dense, slow-draining subsoil is why a drainage layer matters. Runoff also cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground, and high water scours creek and river banks. Rip rap and clean stone handle that side of the job.
Winters here are the hardest in Missouri: January nights average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over. Frost depth is the deepest in the state, and the local building code sets footing depth.
Choosing the right material
Start with the base course, then pick the surface. Base rock or crusher run goes down first and gets compacted. Driveway gravel or road rock surfaces it. For drainage, use 1 inch clean, drain rock or 3/4 inch clean, and save screenings for bedding under pavers and patios.
Grundy and Daviess counties sit in Northwest Missouri on the same glacial plains ground, so the choice there is similar: compacted base rock over clay, with clean stone for drainage. Worth County shares that same ground zone too.
Where the ground is similar, the material question shifts to the project itself. Long rural lanes want road rock; a shed pad wants base rock; a wet low spot wants fill dirt before any base goes down.
