Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in New Madrid, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in New Madrid, MO, with base rock leading the lineup. It is what most drives, parking pads and farm lanes here start with.

The ground sets the order. New Madrid sits on deep river-laid sand, silt and heavy clay, flat land that was swamp and bottomland before it was drained. That changes how you build a drive, and it changes what you put under it.

Materials for New Madrid Projects

Start with the base course, because almost every job here begins with one. Base rock goes down first for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes, and it compacts into a surface that carries a truck without rutting out.

Where you want a material that binds itself, crusher run brings the fines that lock the stone together. It works well as base and as a drive surface in one pass on ground that stays firm. For finishing an existing drive or topping a compacted base rock course, driveway gravel gives you the wearing surface.

Washed stone is the other half of the order. These materials carry no fines, so water moves through them instead of sitting on top.

• #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean, for drainage, French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate.
• #67 Stone, a slightly smaller washed size, for drainage and concrete work.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, called 3/4 inch clean here, for drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.
• Drain Rock for French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out a load. Mason sand and washed sand handle brick work, paver joints and bedding under slabs, while topsoil and fill dirt rebuild grade before a base course goes down. Rip rap and river rock cover bank work and beds.

Ground and Conditions in New Madrid

Rain is the driver here. The land around New Madrid is nearly flat and wet in winter and spring, so water leaves slowly through ditches, channels and levees. Heavy clay holds standing water long after a storm passes.

That shapes what you order. On clay that stays saturated, a washed drainage layer under the base keeps the drive from pumping and rutting. On the sandy ground, water drops away faster and base work firms up sooner.

Erosion follows the same water. Running water cuts ditch and channel banks and scours along the rivers in high water, which is where rip rap earns its place. Timing matters too: heavy clay is saturated from winter into spring, so base work is easiest from late spring through fall.

Winters here are the mildest in Missouri, with fewer and shorter freezes than the rest of the state. Frost depth is among the shallowest in Missouri, and the local building code sets footing depth.

Have the drop spot ready. On ground this flat and soft, a firm, well-drained place to dump keeps the truck from working into clay that has not dried out. Point out any overhead lines, culverts or soft edges before the load goes down.
