Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Raymore, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Raymore, MO for builders, contractors and homeowners. Much of the ground here sits on dense clay subsoil that drains slowly, so the material under your slab, drive or pad matters as much as the surface.

That is why base rock is the first call on most jobs in Cass County. The rest of the order follows from what you are building and how the water behaves on the site.

Materials for Raymore Projects

A lot of work around Raymore starts below finished grade. Raising a low lot, building a pad for a shop or barn, or backfilling around a foundation all begin with fill and sub-base before anything visible goes down.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots. Bring it up in lifts and compact it, then cap the fill with base rock so the surface takes traffic.

For the cap and for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes, use Base Rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base. This is the standard Missouri base material. Where you want a material that binds and compacts with its fines, Crusher Run does that job.

Surface and drainage choices finish the job. Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base, while #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean, handles French drains and septic fields. Clean rock has no fines, so keep it away from base courses.

Ground and Conditions in Raymore

The local ground is clay, silty clay and sandy clay weathered from shale, limestone and sandstone, with dense, slow-draining clay subsoil under much of the flatter ground. Clay soaks up little rain, so storm water runs off slopes fast and stands on flat ground.

Water also perches above the clay subsoil through winter and early spring. An under-built base on that ground pumps, shifts and ruts, because the fines never drain and the layer never locks up.

Two things follow. Compact the base rock in lifts rather than dumping one deep layer, and give the edge somewhere for water to go. Fast runoff off clay slopes cuts rills and gullies in bare or graded ground, and heavy storms eat into creek banks, so bare ground needs cover before the next storm season.

Timing matters too. Clay ground is often saturated from winter into spring, and late spring through fall is the easier window for base and driveway work. Frost is moderate here: January nights average below freezing and most days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly through winter.

Questions from Raymore Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Raymore?

Start with base rock, the local name for type 5 or type 1 base, compacted in lifts over stable ground. Top it with screenings, the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing, because that is what beds and levels pavers. On the clay subsoil here, drainage below the base matters as much as the base itself.
