Riverside sits on silty loess over glacial clay till, and that ground shapes what you order. Water perches on the clay and stands from late fall into spring. Coarse stone for slopes, swales and creek banks matters as much as the base under a drive.

Materials for Riverside Projects

Runoff cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground. High water scours creek and river banks. That is why the coarsest stone comes first in this market.

Rip rap is the heavy answer for creek banks, pond dams, culvert outlets, lakeshore and slope armoring. It locks together under storm runoff. Order it by the ton for the bank work and the swales. See RipRap.

Railroad ballast is the other severe drainage option. It goes down for hard standing, track beds and trench bottoms that have to shed water fast. Look at Railroad Ballast.

Working down the sizes, 1 inch clean (also sold as #57 stone, 57 stone) is washed with no fines. It drains, so it suits French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate. Clean rock means washed stone only, never base rock or crusher run. See #57 Limestone.

Drain rock covers French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls. It keeps water moving instead of letting it sit against the clay. See Drain Rock.

Then come the base materials. Base rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base, is the standard Missouri base stone. Crusher run has fines that bind and compact. Both go under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. See Base Rock and Crusher Run.

Ground and Conditions in Riverside

Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring. That pushes base and driveway work to the window between the wet season and the first hard freeze, roughly late spring into fall. Time your delivery for that stretch and the ground carries the truck and compacts right.

The winters are the hardest in Missouri. January nights average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over. Frost depth is the deepest in the state, and the local building code sets footing depth.

Plan the drainage layer with that in mind. Washed stone and coarse rock shed the spring water that perches on the clay till. Base courses go down on ground that has dried enough to compact.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable. A full load needs room to spread as it dumps, so keep vehicles and equipment out of the way.
