This is Monroe County ground: silty loess over glacial clay till. Water sits on the clay subsoil and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring. Plan for that before you order.

Ground and Conditions in Holliday

Watch what a thin base does here. It pumps. Load a drive built on a skim of stone and the material shifts under tires, ruts fill with water, and the surface never tightens up.

The cause is the subsoil. Dense clay till drains slowly, and the claypan under the flat prairie holds water even longer. A shallow stone layer just floats on top of it.

Build thicker and separate the layers. Compact the subgrade, then bring in base rock in lifts and compact each one. The stone needs enough depth to bridge the soft spots instead of punching into them.

Timing matters as much as depth. 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.

Frost works the ground here too. January nights run well below freezing while many days thaw, so the surface freezes and thaws over and over. The local building code sets footing depth, and that is a question for your builder.

Runoff is the other problem. It cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground. High water scours creek and river banks. Armored stone and a drainage layer handle both.

Materials for Holliday Projects

Start with the path and walkway materials, because that is where fines and fine stone do the most work. Screenings, limestone screenings to most quarries around here, are the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing. They compact into a firm, walkable surface for garden paths, patio bedding and paver setting.

Walkway gravel gives you a finished walking surface without the dust. Use it over a compacted course, not straight onto soft clay.

For the base under all of it, base rock is the standard Missouri material. Quarries sell it as type 5 base or type 1 base. It binds and compacts, which is what a driveway, parking pad, shed base or farm lane needs.

Where you want a material with fines that locks together on its own, crusher run does that job. Top a compacted base rock course with driveway gravel, or use road rock, sold as 1 inch road rock, on long rural drives.

Washed stone has no fines, so it drains instead of binding. Use 1 inch clean, also sold as #57 stone, for French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate. Smaller washed sizes, 3/4 inch clean and 3/8 inch clean, work for drainage beds and construction entrances.

Rip rap armors creek banks, pond dams, culvert outlets and slopes against high water. Natural Pea Gravel and river rock handle play areas, borders and dry creek beds.

Questions from Holliday Buyers

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the dump spot and make sure the truck can reach it. Mark any utilities, fences or low wires in the path. If the ground is soft from spring rain, pick a firm spot or wait for drier conditions. A cleared, level pad keeps the dump clean and saves you moving stone twice.

What is the best base under pavers in Holliday?

Base rock, compacted in lifts, then a bedding layer of screenings on top. The base rock carries the load and the screenings give you a flat, firm bed to set pavers into. Skip the base and the clay subsoil will move under the pavers and open the joints.
