How much gravel do I need for my project?

It depends on the area you are covering and how deep you want the layer. Measure the length and width of the space, then enter those figures with your chosen depth into the calculator. It returns the quantity to order. For a driveway, think about the base course separately from the surface course, since they are different materials.

Do you deliver to Morgan County?

Yes. Missouri Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, stone, sand and soil throughout Morgan County, including Versailles, Stover, Syracuse, Barnett, Gravois Mills, Florence and Rocky Mount. You order online, choose a quantity, and pick a delivery date at checkout. The truck hauls to the site and dumps the load where you direct it.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular and locks together when it is compacted, so it works as base rock, crusher run and drainage stone. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded and smooth, so it shifts underfoot instead of locking. Use Natural Pea Gravel for play areas, walkways and bedding, and crushed stone where the material has to carry weight or hold a slope.

Morgan County Base Rock and Gravel Delivery, MO

What do I order for a driveway on rocky Ozark ground? Start with base rock. Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Morgan County, MO, and base rock is the material most jobs here begin with. Under it sits cherty, rocky clay over limestone and dolomite, thin and stony on the slopes and ridges. That ground does not compact into a stable pad on its own.

Ground Conditions Across Morgan County

Morgan County sits in the Ozark Plateau, where sinkholes, springs and losing streams are common. Heavy storms push fast runoff off the rocky slopes into narrow valleys and creeks. On the flatter uplands, much of the water drains underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock instead.

That shapes what you order. Pockets that drain underground still leave soft spots where a base course is under-built, and water moving under a drive will find those spots first. Storm runoff also washes soil and chert gravel off slopes and graded ground into creeks, and soil can wash down into sinkholes and openings in the rock.

Spring is the wettest stretch and storms can raise creeks quickly. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does, so plan around the rock rather than the calendar. January nights still average below freezing and days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles are frequent. Frost depth here is shallower than northern Missouri, and the local building code sets footing depth.

Materials Delivered in Morgan County

Base rock is the standard Missouri base material. Type 1 and Type 5 are 1 inch dense-graded mixes of crushed stone and fines, and Type 5 caps the finest dust fraction. Type 7 is a coarser 1-1/2 inch grade. Order it for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Walkways and garden paths take Walkway Gravel for a finer, walkable surface, while River Rock and Large River Rock handle dry creek beds and decorative borders. Sand work runs on Mason Sand for brick and block and paver joints, and Washed Sand for leveling and bedding under slabs. Lawn and bed prep over rocky ground takes Top Soil, with Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings.

Choosing the Right Material

Pettis County sits on clay, silty clay and sandy clay over shale, limestone and sandstone, with dense, slow-draining clay subsoil under flatter ground. That slow drainage changes the base choice next door: a drive there needs to shed water at the surface, so a dense-graded base and good crown matter more than they do on Morgan County slopes that already drain fast.

Cooper and Moniteau counties share ground with each other: silty loess on the ridgetops over cherty clay and limestone, dolomite, sandstone or shale, with sinkholes where limestone or dolomite lies close to the surface. That is close to what you work with in Morgan County, so the same base rock and drainage layers apply. The projects differ more than the ground does.

Use the local name when you order. Base rock is base rock here, not road base, and clean rock means washed stone with no fines. Never use it for base rock or crusher run, which both carry fines. Screenings are the fine crushed stone for bedding, and they are not ag lime.
