Bulk Gravel Delivery to Laclede, MO

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Laclede, MO, Missouri Rock Supply stocks the materials local crews order by name: base rock, crusher run, clean rock, screenings, sand and topsoil. The ground here is silty loess over glacial clay till, dense and slow to drain, so what you put under a patio or drive matters as much as what shows on top.

Order online by the ton or yard, size the load with our calculator, and pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings it to your site.

Ground and Conditions in Laclede

A thin base is the failure you notice first under pavers and flatwork. Northern Missouri subsoils are dense, and a tight claypan sits close under the flat prairie ground. Water perches on that clay and stands from late fall into spring.

When the soil under a patio stays soft, the bedding shifts and pavers rock. The fix is a compacted base rock course that carries the load and a clean drainage layer that lets water leave. On loess and till slopes, runoff cuts rills and gullies fast on bare or freshly graded ground.

Timing follows the same pattern. 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. Winters here freeze and thaw over and over, and the local building code sets footing depth for structures.

Materials for Laclede Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material list starts. Get the layers right and the surface stays put.

• Base Rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base: the compacted structural course under patios, driveways, parking pads and shed bases.
• Crusher Run: base and drives where you want fines to bind and compact tight.
• Screenings, also called limestone screenings: the bedding layer that levels pavers, flagstone and patio stones, and surfaces garden paths. This is the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing.
• Washed Sand, also called concrete sand: leveling and bedding under slabs.
• Mason Sand, also called masonry sand: brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

Around the edges of a patio, clean stone handles water. #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean and washed with no fines, works for drainage, French drains and septic fields. Drain Rock covers foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls. Clean rock never belongs under a patio as base; it has no fines, so it will not lock up.

For surfacing, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base rock course, and road rock is sold by top size. RipRap armors creek banks, pond dams and culvert outlets against high water. For beds and dry creek features, River Rock and Large River Rock both work.
