Bulk Aggregates for Pathways in High Hill, MO

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in High Hill, MO, Missouri Rock Supply stocks the full spread of materials this ground calls for, from base rock to washed stone, sand and soil. This is silty loess over glacial clay till, so what you put on top matters as much as what you put under it. Paths and walkways take a different mix than a farm lane.

Ground and Conditions in High Hill

A thin base course tells on you fast here. Under a path, the first sign is rutting and soft spots where the surface rock sinks into the clay below. The second is puddling, because water perches on that dense subsoil instead of draining away.

The fix is enough compacted base to bridge the soft layer, plus a drainage layer that moves water off the path. Bare or freshly graded ground on the slopes also cuts rills and gullies in loess and till, so get cover on it before the spring rains.

Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring. Base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall, between the wet season and the first hard freeze. January nights here average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over, and the local building code sets footing depth.

Materials for High Hill Projects

Paths and walkways are where the fines do the work. Start with base rock, also called type 5 base. It is the standard Missouri base material. Compacted in lifts, it gives a walkway a firm spine that will not pump when the clay underneath is wet.

On top of that compacted course, screenings are the local answer for paver, flagstone and patio bedding, and for surfacing a path. Limestone screenings bind and lock underfoot, so a garden path stays walkable instead of rolling under your boots.

For a looser, decorative path, walkway gravel is sized for a finer, walkable surface and needs less fuss than a bound course. crusher run suits drives and paths where you want a compacting material with fines that knits together.

Drainage along a path is its own order. #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean or clean rock, is washed with no fines, which is what you want in a French drain or a downspout run. Use clean rock for drainage only, never for base or crusher run.
