Materials for Sparta Projects

Landscaping around here usually means beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds that handle runoff off rocky ground. Start with what the surface needs to do, then pick the stone.

Decorative beds and borders

For planting beds, River Rock gives a clean, lasting surface that stays put. Large River Rock suits heavier borders and larger beds where you want a bigger stone. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel works for play areas and open ground cover.

Dry creek beds and drainage

A dry creek bed carries storm water off a slope without washing soil into the creek below. Line it with RipRap for the heavy sections and larger river rock for the visible run. For French drains and downspout runs, Drain Rock is the washed stone to order.

Paths, patios, and edging

Walkways that need a walkable surface take Walkway Gravel. Under pavers and flagstone, Screenings bed the stone and lock the joints. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through hot Ozark summers.

A short list of what to order first:

• Beds and borders: river rock, large river rock, or shredded mulch
• Dry creek beds: rip rap with larger river rock on top
• Walkways: walkway gravel, or screenings under pavers
• Drainage: drain rock, and base rock under anything that carries weight

Ground and Conditions in Sparta

Sparta sits on the Ozark Plateau, where the ground is cherty, rocky clay over limestone and dolomite. It is thin and stony on slopes and ridges, with a thin silty cap on some flatter uplands. Sinkholes, springs, and losing streams are common.

That ground does not compact the way a deep clay does, so an under-built base rock course moves and ruts. Dig out the soft material and build the base rock up in compacted lifts instead of one thick dump.

Water is the other half. Heavy storms send fast runoff off rocky slopes into narrow valleys and creeks, and on the flatter uplands much of it drains underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. Runoff also washes soil and chert gravel off graded ground, and soil can wash down into openings in the rock. A drainage layer keeps water moving instead of pooling.

Time your work around the weather. Spring is the wettest stretch and storms can raise creeks quickly, and chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does. January nights average below freezing and days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles are frequent. Frost depth is shallower than in northern Missouri, and the local building code sets footing depth for structural work.
