Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Wentzville, MO

Missouri Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Wentzville, MO for two kinds of buyers: crews building drives and pads, and homeowners fixing a yard. Both usually start with the same question, which is what goes under the work. In St. Charles County that often means fill and topsoil first, then base rock on top.

Materials for Wentzville Projects

Soil work comes before stone on most lots here. Silty loess on the ridgetops and heavy clay under it leave low spots that stay soft, so grading and fill often decide how the rest of the job goes.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a base rock course goes down. Top Soil covers that fill for lawn and bed prep over rocky ground. Garden Soil is the blend for raised beds and planting areas where you want something looser than native clay.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch, which holds moisture through a hot Missouri summer. For drives and pads, Base Rock is the standard. Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base course.

Washed stone solves the other half of the job. Missouri quarries sell 1 inch clean washed with no fines, and it drains where base rock will not. Screenings, the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing, bed pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Wentzville

Start with where water goes, because that decides most of the material choices on a Wentzville lot. Storm runoff drops fast off steep bluffs and hillsides into narrow valleys, and some of it drains underground through sinkholes.

Loess washes away easily, so runoff gullies bare slopes and road cuts. High water scours the banks of the big rivers and their tributaries. On a slope, that means drainage stone rather than more fill, since piling dirt on a bare grade just gives the water more to carry.

For footing drains, downspout runs and drainage behind walls, Drain Rock and clean rock move water instead of holding it. Keep clean rock out of base courses: it has no fines and will not lock up.

Timing matters too. Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups, and low ground near the rivers can stay wet or under water well after a flood crest. January nights average below freezing and most days thaw, so freeze-thaw cycles run through winter. Frost depth is moderate here and set by the local building code.

Questions About Ordering in Wentzville

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Wentzville?

Yes. When you order online you choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, so you can work in whichever unit fits your project. If you know your area but not the weight, the calculator turns your measurements into a load size. Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings it to your site in Wentzville.

What stone should I use for drainage in Wentzville?

Use washed stone with no fines, because base rock and crusher run hold water instead of passing it. Around here that usually means 1 inch clean, also sold as #57 stone, for French drains and septic fields, with drain rock for footing drains and downspout runs. On steep ground, clean stone keeps runoff moving instead of letting it gully the slope.
