Landscaping Material Delivered in Imperial, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Imperial, MO, and the ground here asks a lot of a base. Silty loess sits on the ridgetops over cherty clay and limestone, so a thin, under-built base rock course moves once water gets under it. Build the base for the soil you actually have, not the one you hoped for.

Delivery to Imperial and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. The calculator sizes the load if you are unsure, and you choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the material to your site in Imperial or anywhere in Jefferson County.

We also deliver to Arnold, Festus, De Soto, Barnhart and Pevely. Bulk loads get placed where the truck can reach, so think about where you want the pile before the driver arrives. Steep driveways and soft ground are worth mentioning when you set the date.

Materials for Imperial Projects

Most landscaping work around here starts with beds, borders and ground cover, and that is where decorative stone earns its place. River Rock covers beds and borders and reads well against a limestone bluff. Large River Rock takes the heavier work: dry creek beds and slopes that need stone that will not wash out in a storm.

For paths and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives a smooth, walkable surface. Walkway Gravel is the better pick for a path that sees regular foot traffic, since it locks together instead of rolling underfoot.

Every bed and border sits on something. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and Top Soil rebuilds the ground under lawn and planting beds where the loess has thinned out. Shredded Mulch holds moisture through a hot Missouri summer.

Ground and Conditions in Imperial

This is river hills country. Loess on the ridgetops washes away easily, so storm runoff cuts gullies into bare slopes and road cuts. Water also drops fast off the bluffs into narrow valleys, and some of it drains underground through sinkholes where limestone or dolomite sits close to the surface.

That matters for base depth. A driveway on a graded slope needs its base rock compacted in lifts and crowned so water leaves the surface instead of soaking in. Where the ground stays wet, put a drainage layer under the base rather than thickening the base itself.

Down in the bottoms, the Missouri and Mississippi flood in long wet spells, and low ground can stay wet well after a crest. Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups on outdoor work. Frost depth here is moderate, and the local building code sets it for footings.
