Fill and Base Material Delivered in Montgomery City, MO

Need to raise a grade or build up a pad before anything else goes down? Gravel and aggregate delivery in Montgomery City, MO starts with the right fill and sub-base. Missouri Rock Supply delivers bulk material to your site so you can build up low ground and set a solid layer under a driveway, shed, or parking pad.

This is silty loess country over glacial clay till, and that ground moves when it stays wet. Base rock, sold locally as type 5 base, is the material most jobs here start with.

Delivery to Montgomery City and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. If you are not sure how much the job takes, size the load with the calculator before you check out. Then choose a delivery date and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

We deliver across Montgomery County, including Wellsville, New Florence, Jonesburg, Bellflower, and High Hill. Whether the drop point is a farm lane, a new build, or a lot in town, the driver needs a clear spot to dump.

Have your build-up area marked and the truck path clear before the load arrives. Bulk delivery works best when the pile can go where the material is needed, not at the end of a long haul by hand.

Materials for Montgomery City Projects

Most work around here starts below the surface. Fill and sub-base come first when you are raising grade or building a pad, because an under-built base is what fails later. Order the fill and base as separate items and build in layers you can compact.

For a driveway, start with fill dirt to bring low spots up, then a base rock course. Base rock is the standard Missouri base material. It locks up hard under a plate or roller and carries a drive for years.

For a patio or paver area, cap the compacted base with screenings. Screenings are the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing, and they bed pavers, flagstone, and patio stone flat.

For drainage, use 1 inch clean, sold locally as #57 stone. It is washed with no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting. Drain rock does the same job in a French drain or behind a wall.

Ground and Conditions in Montgomery City

The soil here is silty loess over glacial clay till. That subsoil is dense and slow to drain, and on the flat prairie ground northeast of the river bottoms, water perches on the clay and stands from late fall into spring.

That matters for what you order. Fill that never dries traps water under whatever you build, and a base rock course laid over wet fill will not compact. Put fill down first, let it settle, then compact the base in lifts.

Runoff also cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground. On a new pad, keep the edges sloped so water runs off instead of pooling against the fill.

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 are the hardest in Missouri, with January nights well below freezing and many days thawing, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over. The local building code sets footing depth for the deepest frost in the state.
