Materials for Kearney Projects

Most jobs around here start below grade. If you are raising a low spot, building up a pad or leveling a cut, fill dirt goes down first. It builds the grade so a base rock course has something solid to sit on. Fill first, base second, surface last.

Base rock is the standard Missouri base material. It packs tight and holds under a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base or a farm lane. Crusher Run works where you want fines that bind and compact. For the surface, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted course, and quarries here sell the coarse grades as road rock by top size.

Wet ground is the other half of the job. Clean rock has no fines, so water moves through it. Use 1 inch clean for French drains and septic fields, 3/4 inch clean for drainage beds and construction entrances, and Drain Rock behind walls and downspout runs. Screenings, the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing, bed pavers, flagstone and patios.

Finishing touches run to Top Soil for lawns over heavy clay and fill, RipRap for creek banks and culvert outlets, and Screenings for paver and patio bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Kearney

The ground here is silty loess laid over glacial clay till, deepest on the hills and bluffs. That subsoil is dense and slow to drain. An under-built base sitting on it will pump and rut, so build the grade first and compact in lifts.

Water perches on the clay and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring. Heavy spring rain floods the creek and river bottoms. Runoff cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground.

Timing matters. Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring, so 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. The local building code sets footing depth.

Questions from Kearney Contractors and Homeowners

What is the best base under pavers in Kearney?

Base rock, compacted in lifts, then a bedding layer of screenings. The fine crushed stone and dust in screenings lets you set pavers level, and base rock underneath carries the load. If the ground stays wet, put drain rock or 1 inch clean under the base so water has somewhere to go instead of sitting on the clay.
