Materials for Stark City Projects

Most yards here start with decorative rock, and the material you choose depends on the job. Beds, borders and dry creek beds each call for something different.

• River Rock for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock for dry creek beds and heavier erosion work on slopes.
• Natural Pea Gravel for play areas, walkways, drainage and bedding.
• Screenings for paver, flagstone and patio bedding and path surfacing.
• Base Rock for the compacted course under a drive, patio or shed.

A dry creek bed does two jobs at once. It looks right in a bed or border, and it carries storm runoff off a slope instead of letting it cut a channel. Large river rock holds up in that role. For a bed with plants, river rock and Natural Pea Gravel are easier to work around.

For drainage, clean rock has no fines, so water moves through it. 1 inch clean is the washed stone most Missouri quarries sell for French drains and septic fields. Do not use base rock or crusher run in a drain, because the fines pack tight and hold water.

Ground and Conditions in Stark City

The ground here is cherty, rocky clay over limestone and dolomite. On slopes and ridges it runs thin and stony, with a thin silty cap on some flatter uplands. That ground does not drain evenly, so an under-built base moves.

Heavy storms send fast runoff off the rocky slopes into narrow valleys and creeks. On the flatter uplands, much of the water drains underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. Plan drainage before you place a base course, not after.

Spring is the wettest stretch, and storms can raise creeks quickly. Chert and rock in the ground slow digging more often than mud does. January nights still average below freezing, with thawing days, so freeze-thaw cycles are frequent.

Order Base Rock and Landscape Material in Stark City

Base rock is the material most Stark City projects start with, and the decorative rock for beds and dry creek beds follows close behind. Missouri Rock Supply delivers both, along with sand, soil and mulch, to sites across the area. Choose your material online and place your order when you are ready.
