Clay ground sheds water fast here, so most sites need stone that moves water, not just stone that fills a hole.

Materials for La Monte Projects

Water off clay slopes is the real problem on most La Monte jobs. It runs fast, cuts rills in bare ground and eats at creek banks. Coarse stone handles that work better than anything fine, so start at the heavy end and work down to the small sizes.

RipRap is the go-to for slope armoring on creek banks, pond dams and culvert outlets. On the other end, #4 Crushed Stone and 2 inch clean give you heavy drainage for trench bottoms and construction entrances.

For driveways and pads, base rock is the standard Missouri material. Crusher Run works the same way where you want the fines to bind it together. Top either with Driveway Gravel for a finished surface.

Washed stone handles the drainage side. #57 Limestone, also sold as 1 inch clean, goes into French drains, septic fields and behind retaining walls. It has no fines, so water passes straight through. Step down to 3/4 inch clean or #67 stone where the space is tighter.

Finish work calls for finer material. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and patio joints. River Rock and large river rock dress dry creek beds and borders, and Natural Pea Gravel covers play areas and walkways.

Delivery to La Monte and the Surrounding Area

Bulk delivery covers La Monte and the rest of Pettis County, including Sedalia, Green Ridge, Smithton, Houstonia and Hughesville. A dump truck brings your load straight to the site. You choose the quantity by the ton or the yard when you order, and the calculator on the product page turns your measurements into a number you can enter.

Pick your delivery date at checkout. Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck rolls in, and mark anything you do not want driven over. If you are staging material for a bigger job, order the coarse stone first so the base is down before the finish grades arrive.

Ground and Conditions in La Monte

Pettis County sits on the Osage Plains, where clay, silty clay and sandy clay weathered from shale, limestone and sandstone. Under the flatter ground there is dense clay subsoil that drains slowly. That combination drives most of the material decisions on a La Monte site.

Clay soaks up little rain, so storm water sheets off slopes and stands on flat ground. Through winter and early spring, water perches above that clay layer and the ground stays saturated. Base and driveway work goes easier from late spring through fall, when the subgrade can be shaped and compacted instead of pumped.

Frost is moderate here. January nights drop below freezing and most days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. The local building code sets the footing depth, and it runs deeper toward Kansas City than at the southern end of the zone. For driveways, the practical answer is a compacted base rock course and stone that drains, so melt water has somewhere to go.
