Drain Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Union, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Union, MO, and most orders start with the same question: how much. Punch your numbers into the calculator, pick your material, and choose a delivery date at checkout. From there it is base rock, washed stone, sand and soil, dropped where you need it.

Union sits on rocky Ozark ground, so a lot of jobs here begin with water. Washed stone and drain rock move it; base rock holds up what you build on top.

Water is the job. Cherty clay sheds storm runoff fast, and it has to go somewhere before it sits under a slab, a drive or a foundation wall. Washed stone with no fines lets it pass through instead of ponding. Here is what we haul, sorted from coarsest to finest.

Drain Rock and #4 Crushed Stone are the coarse end. Use them in French drains, downspout runs, foundation drains and behind retaining walls, where the goal is open void space that water can travel through. #4 is also good for trench bottoms and construction entrances.

#57 Limestone, which quarries here sell as 1 inch clean, is the workhorse for septic fields, drywells and drainage beds. It is washed and screened, so there are no fines to clog the voids. Drop to 3/4" Crushed Stone for tighter drainage beds, drive surfacing and construction entrances.

#89 Crushed Stone and Screenings finish the fine end. #89 packs into paver joints and tight bedding, and screenings bed pavers, flagstone and patios and surface garden paths.

For anything that carries weight, start with Base Rock. It compacts into a firm, dense course. If you want the fines to bind it tighter, Crusher Run does that. Neither one is clean rock, and they should not be used as drainage.

Delivery to Union and the Surrounding Area

You order online, set the quantity by the ton or the yard, and pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site and spreads it as it tips, so know where you want the pile before it backs in.

We deliver across Union and Franklin County, including Washington, Pacific, Sullivan, St. Clair and New Haven. If the truck cannot reach the exact spot, have a clear, firm place for the pile and move it from there.

Ground and Conditions in Union

Spring is the wettest stretch here, and storms can raise creeks quickly. That shapes when you schedule a delivery. Wet ground slows a truck more than it slows a shovel, so time your load around the weather rather than against it.

Under all of it is cherty, rocky clay over limestone and dolomite. Digging hits chert and rock more often than it hits mud, so a drainage layer is worth planning before you pour or build. On the flatter uplands much of the water drains underground through sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. That is another reason to move roof and surface water away from structures instead of letting it soak in beside them.

Storm runoff also washes soil and chert gravel off slopes and graded ground. Rip rap holds creek banks, pond dams, culvert outlets and slopes against that pull. Winters are milder than northern Missouri, but January nights still average below freezing and days usually thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles come often. Footing depth is set by the local building code.
