Drain Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Hermann, MO

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Hermann, MO, start with the calculator. Figure your ton or yard count before you pick the material, because most jobs here need a base course and a drainage course that do not weigh out the same. Missouri Rock Supply delivers base rock and washed stone by the ton across Gasconade County.

Hermann sits on silty loess ridgetops over cherty clay, and runoff off these bluffs moves fast. That is why drainage stone matters as much as the driveway stone on most jobs around town.

Drainage comes first on this ground. Storm runoff drops quickly off the hillsides, so a French drain, drywell or downspout run that is sized wrong shows up as a wet spot the next spring. The rule is simple: drainage stone is washed, with no fines, or it clogs and stops draining.

Working from the coarsest washed stone down to the finest:

• #4 Crushed Stone, sold locally as 4 stone, goes in heavy drainage runs and trench bottoms.
• #57 Limestone is what Missouri quarries call 1 inch clean. It is the workhorse for French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate.
• #67 Stone is the slightly smaller washed size for drainage beds and concrete work.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base.

Clean rock means washed stone with no fines, so never use it where you want a binding base. For that, use base rock. It goes under driveways, parking pads and shed bases, and Crusher Run is the compacting alternative when you want fines in the mix.

Ground and Conditions in Hermann

Time your delivery around the working season. Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups, and low ground near the rivers can stay wet long after a flood crest.

January nights here average below freezing while most days thaw, so you get frequent freeze-thaw cycles. That is hard on a drive that was never compacted, and it is why base rock goes down in lifts and gets compacted before any surfacing.

Loess washes away easily, so bare slopes and road cuts gully in a hard rain. Rip rap armors creek banks, culvert outlets and pond dams, and a dry creek bed of river rock handles the water that runs off a roof or a hill.

On the ridgetops, limestone and dolomite sit close enough to the surface that sinkholes form. Watch where you send concentrated drainage, and keep it away from those spots.
