Landscaping Material Delivered in O'Fallon, MO

Storm runoff drops fast off the bluffs and hillsides around O'Fallon, and it has to go somewhere. Gravel and aggregate delivery in O'Fallon, MO starts with stone that moves that water instead of holding it. Missouri Rock Supply stocks base rock for the structural work and washed stone for the drainage layers above it.

Silty loess on the ridgetops washes away easily, so bare slopes and road cuts gully in a hurry. Rip rap and clean rock armor those spots before the next hard rain.

Delivery to O'Fallon and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. If you are unsure how much a project takes, run your measurements through the calculator before you check out.

Choose a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck brings the load to your site. Missouri Rock Supply delivers across O'Fallon and the rest of St. Charles County, including St. Charles, St. Peters, Wentzville, Lake St. Louis and West Alton.

Point the driver to a firm, open spot where the truck can dump and turn around. Soft ground near the river bottoms can stay wet well after a flood crest, so plan the drop for ground that will hold a loaded truck.

Materials for O'Fallon Projects

Decorative stone carries a lot of the landscape work here, and it does real drainage work at the same time. Start with the look you want, then match the stone to how the ground behaves.

• Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and heavier borders, and it handles erosion where runoff crosses a bed.
• River Rock covers planting beds and borders and lines the edges of a dry creek bed.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel works for play areas, walkways and bedding around pavers.
• RipRap armors creek banks, pond dams, culvert outlets and slopes against high water.

For the hard-working layers under those beds, order base rock for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Crusher Run compacts and binds where you want a tight surface with fines in it.

Around the house, 1 inch clean (also sold as #57 stone) feeds French drains, septic fields and downspout runs. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and patio joints.

Ground and Conditions in O'Fallon

Start with the soil, because it decides how the base performs. Silty loess sits on the ridgetops over cherty clay and limestone, dolomite, sandstone or shale bedrock that shows in the bluffs and hillsides. River bottoms hold deep silt, sand and clay.

Loess washes out from under an under-built base. That is why a driveway here needs a compacted base rock course that drains, not a thin layer of surface stone over bare dirt. Fill low spots with fill dirt first, then build the base on top.

Sinkholes form where limestone or dolomite lies close to the surface, and some water drains underground instead of running off. Keep drainage stone clear of fines so it keeps moving water.

Timing matters too. Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups, and low ground near the rivers can stay wet or under water well after a flood crest. Frost depth here is moderate, set by the local building code, with January nights below freezing and most days thawing.
