Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Union Star, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Union Star, MO for driveways, pads and farm lanes. Base rock is the material most jobs here start with, and it is what we stock for DeKalb County ground: silty loess over dense glacial clay till that stays soft well into spring.

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for Union Star Projects

Base rock, also called type 5 base, type 1 base is the standard Missouri base material. Driveway work here begins with it. It goes down as the structural course for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes, and it compacts into a surface that holds up under truck traffic.

Above a compacted base rock course, you surface with driveway gravel. Quarries in this state sell surfacing grades as road rock by top size, so 1 inch road rock is a common pick for long rural drives and gravel roads. Crusher run is the other option when you want a material with fines that binds and compacts on its own.

Washed stone is a separate family. 1 inch clean, sold as #57 stone, has no fines and drains, which suits French drains, septic fields and concrete aggregate. 3/4 inch clean covers drainage beds and construction entrances, and 3/8 inch clean tops a compacted base or beds a pipe.

Sand, soil and decorative rock round out the order list. Screenings bed pavers, flagstone and patios. Mason sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, washed sand levels under slabs, and topsoil rebuilds lawns over clay and fill.

Ground and Conditions in Union Star

Start with water and where it goes. Rain and snowmelt perch on the clay subsoil here, and on flat ground it stands from late fall into spring. Subsoils are dense and slow to drain, with a tight claypan under the flat prairies.

That changes what you order. A driveway that only gets base rock can pump and rut when the subgrade stays wet, so a clean, washed layer under or beside the base gives water somewhere to move. Use 1 inch clean or drain rock for that drainage layer. Keep fines out of it.

Runoff also cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground, and high water scours creek and river banks. Rip rap armors culvert outlets, pond dams and banks against that.

Timing matters as much as material. Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring, so base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall. January nights average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over, and footing depth is set by the local building code.
