Bulk Material Delivery in Lancaster, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lancaster, MO, and base rock is the material most local projects start with. Around Lancaster the ground is silty loess over dense glacial clay till, so what you put on top of it matters as much as how you prep it.

Materials for Lancaster Projects

Runoff cuts rills and gullies into loess and till slopes here, and high water scours creek and river banks. That makes coarse stone the first call on any slope, swale or bank job. Working from the coarsest sizes down to the finest covers most of what Lancaster buyers need.

• RipRap armors creek banks, pond dams, culvert outlets and shorelines against storm runoff and high water. It is the heavy answer when water is moving fast and ground is washing out.
• #4 Crushed Stone, sold as 2 inch clean at the coarse end, suits construction entrances, trench bottoms and heavy drainage where soft ground needs bridging.
• Railroad Ballast is hard, coarse stone for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage. It sheds water instead of holding it.
• Base Rock is the standard Missouri base material. Use it for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.
• #57 Limestone, called 1 inch clean locally, is washed stone with no fines. It handles French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate.
• Screenings are the fine crushed stone and dust from crushing. They bed pavers, flagstone and patios and surface paths.

Where a compacting material with fines is wanted instead of clean stone, Crusher Run binds and locks under a drive. Clean rock has no fines, so keep it for drainage, never for base.

Ground and Conditions in Lancaster

Timing decides how a load of base rock performs. Upland clay here 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.

Water perches on the dense clay subsoil and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring. A drainage layer of 1 inch clean or Drain Rock under a compacted course keeps a drive from pumping and rutting when the ground is saturated.

Winters here are the hardest in Missouri. January nights average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over, and the deepest frost depths in the state are recorded in this zone. The local building code sets footing depth, so check with the building official on anything structural before you pour.
