Materials for Jackson Projects

Drainage drives the material list here. Water that has nowhere to go finds a slope, a road cut or a foundation wall. Start with washed stone and work down in size.

Coarse washed stone

#4 Crushed Stone, sold as 2 inch clean, handles heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances. #57 Limestone, called 1 inch clean, is the standard for French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate. No fines in either one, so water passes straight through.

Mid and fine washed stone

#67 Stone and 3/4" Crushed Stone suit drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances. 3/8" Crushed Stone goes to pipe bedding and a topping over compacted base. Drain Rock covers foundation drains and downspout runs.

Base and surfacing

Base Rock is the Missouri base material. Crusher Run compacts and binds where fines help. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted course.

Ground and Conditions in Jackson

Plan around the working season. Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups. Low ground near the rivers can stay wet or under water well after a flood crest, so time a delivery for when the ground will take a loaded truck.

Frost depth here is moderate. January nights average below freezing and most days thaw, giving frequent freeze-thaw cycles through winter. That matters for compaction and drainage, not for digging to a footing depth.

Under the ridgetops, silty loess sits over cherty clay and limestone, dolomite, sandstone or shale. Sinkholes form where limestone or dolomite lies close to the surface, and some water drains underground instead of along the surface. Loess washes away easily, so storm runoff gullies bare slopes and road cuts, and high water scours the banks of the big rivers and their tributaries. Rip rap armors creek banks, pond dams, culvert outlets and slopes against that runoff. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots before a base rock course goes down, and Top Soil rebuilds the lawn over rocky ground.

Questions About Gravel in Jackson

Do you deliver base rock to Jackson, MO?

Yes. Missouri Rock Supply delivers base rock and other bulk material to sites in Jackson and across Cape Girardeau County, including Cape Girardeau, Millersville, Oak Ridge, Burfordville and Old Appleton. You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or yard, and select a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your driveway, pad or job site.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Jackson?

Start with base rock. It compacts into a firm course over prepared ground. Top it with driveway gravel for the surface you drive on. Where the ground stays wet, put a washed stone drainage layer under the base so water moves instead of sitting in the subgrade.
