Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Jefferson County, MO
If you need gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Jefferson County, MO, Missouri Rock Supply brings it to your site in bulk. Most jobs here start with base rock, because silty loess sits on the ridgetops over cherty clay and limestone. That ground moves when it gets wet, so the base course decides how a drive or pad holds up.
You order online, size the load by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the material to your address and drops it where you need it.
Materials Delivered in Jefferson County
Base rock comes first, because it is the standard Missouri base material. Type 5 also caps the finest dust fraction, and Type 7 is a coarser 1-1/2 inch grade.
Order Base Rock for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. It compacts tight and carries weight once it is watered and rolled in.
Washed stone covers the drainage side. 1 inch clean, also sold as #57 stone, is the usual choice, and clean rock always means washed stone with no fines. Do not use it as base. #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage and trench bottoms, and River Rock or 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel work for beds, borders and play areas.
Ground Conditions Across Jefferson County
Timing matters as much as material here. Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups, and low ground near the rivers can stay wet or under water well after a flood crest. Plan a delivery around that window if your site sits in a bottom.
January nights average below freezing and most days thaw, which gives you frequent freeze-thaw cycles through winter. Frost depth is moderate and set by the local building code. That affects footing depth set by the building official, not the thickness of your gravel base.
Soils run to silty loess on the ridgetops over cherty clay and limestone, dolomite, sandstone or shale bedrock. Sinkholes form where limestone or dolomite lies close to the surface, and some water drains underground through them.
Loess washes away easily, so storm runoff gullies bare slopes and road cuts. Water also drops quickly off steep bluffs and hillsides into narrow valleys, and high water scours the banks of the big rivers and their tributaries. On a slope, plan on slope protection and a drainage layer, not just a thicker base.

Sizing a load starts with the calculator, which works in tons or yards for the material you pick. Choose your quantity, then pick a delivery date at checkout.
A dump truck delivers to the site and dumps the load. Think about where the truck can reach and where you want the pile before you order, because a full load is hard to move by hand.
Choosing the Right Material
Ground next door changes the choice. St. Francois County sits in the Lead Belt on the St. Francois Mountains ground, where rocky, thin soils cover steep knobs of granite and rhyolite and silty clay sits over dolomite and sandstone in the basins. Thin soil over hard rock pushes you toward a lighter base course and more drainage than Jefferson County usually needs.
Washington County spans the Ozark Plateau and the St. Francois Mountains, so its ground is similar to ours in places. There, compare typical projects instead: a drive on a graded bench needs the same base and surface rock as one here.
Franklin County shares our river hills zone and part of the Ozark Plateau, so the ground is similar and the material list stays close to ours.
