Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Lodi, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lodi, MO for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners patching a lane or topping a bed. Base rock is the material most jobs here start with. The ground underneath is cherty, rocky clay over limestone, so what you put on top has to carry the load.

Materials for Lodi Projects

Base rock is the starting point for almost any drive, parking pad, shed base or farm lane in Wayne County. Base Rock goes down first; the surface goes on after.

For the surface, you have a choice. Driveway Gravel tops an existing compacted course and gives you a clean driving surface, and quarries here sell surfacing grades as road rock by top size. If you want a material that binds as it packs, Crusher Run carries fines that knit together under a roller or a truck tire. Neither one is clean rock.

Where water has to move, washed stone does the work. Use 1 inch clean, sold locally as #57 stone, for French drains and septic fields, and 3/4 inch clean for drainage beds and construction entrances. #57 Limestone is the size most drainage jobs call for.

Sand and soil round out a project. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs, and Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over rocky ground or fills in after grading. Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, and rip rap armors a creek bank or culvert outlet against storm runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Lodi

Heavy storms drive the material decisions here. Rain sheets off the rocky slopes into narrow valleys and creeks, and on flatter uplands much of it disappears underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. Water always has somewhere to go, and it takes soil with it.

That is why a drive needs a compacted base rock course before any surface stone goes down. Without it, runoff strips the surface and cuts channels. Along a slope or a graded pad, plan a drainage layer of clean stone and route the water to a stable outlet rather than letting it pond.

Erosion is the other half of the problem. Storm runoff washes soil and chert gravel off slopes and into creeks, and loose soil can wash down into sinkhole openings. Rip rap on banks and outlets, plus a stone blanket where water concentrates, keeps the ground where you put it.

Spring is the wettest stretch and storms raise creeks quickly, so grading and driveway work often go better later in the season. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does. January nights average below freezing while days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles come and go through the winter.

Delivery to Lodi and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material, then choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard. If you are not sure how much a job takes, the calculator sizes the load for you. You pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Before the truck arrives, have the drop spot clear and reachable. A loaded truck needs room to turn and a firm place to raise the bed, and soft ground after a storm is the usual delay. Mark anything you do not want driven over, and put the pile where the material is actually going.
