Materials for Preston Projects

Landscaping rock is the lead here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all take stone that looks right and drains right.

Start with Large River Rock for a dry creek bed. Set the heavy stone on a graded line so storm water follows the channel instead of cutting a new one. Round it out with River Rock for beds and borders.

For a walkable path, Walkway Gravel packs down and stays firm underfoot. Use Screenings under pavers, flagstone and patio stone; the fine crush beds them tight.

Planting ground needs soil, not stone. Top Soil caps rocky clay and fill. Garden Soil feeds raised beds. Shredded Mulch holds moisture through hot summers.

Driveways and pads still come down to base. Base rock is the standard Missouri material for drives, parking pads and farm lanes. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the surface course.

Ground and Conditions in Preston

The Ozark Plateau ground here is cherty, rocky clay over limestone and dolomite. It runs thin and stony on slopes and ridges. Some flatter uplands carry a thin silty cap.

That ground punishes an under-built base. Soft clay shifts, so a thin base rock course ruts and pumps. Build the base layer thick enough to bridge the clay, then compact it before the surface goes down.

Water is the other half. Heavy storms push fast runoff off rocky slopes and into narrow valleys and creeks. On the flatter uplands, much of it drains underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock.

Erosion follows. Runoff washes soil and chert gravel off graded ground and into creeks, and soil can wash down into sinkholes and openings in the bedrock. Stone armoring on banks and outlets slows that loss.

Time your work around the season. Spring is the wettest stretch and storms can raise creeks quickly. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does.

Frost is moderate. January nights still average below freezing and days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles are frequent. Frost depth is shallower than northern Missouri, and the local building code sets footing depth.
