How much gravel do I need for my project?

It depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. Measure the length and width of the space, then decide how thick the layer should be. Enter those figures into the calculator on the product page and it returns the quantity in tons or yards. Order that amount and the load arrives ready to spread.

Do you deliver to Worth County?

Yes. Missouri Rock Supply delivers bulk aggregate across Worth County, including Grant City, Sheridan, Worth and Denver, plus the rural roads between them. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the material to your site.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular, with sharp edges that lock together when compacted. Base rock and clean stone are crushed, which is why they hold a drive or a drainage bed. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded and smooth, so it shifts under tires and stays loose. Use it for play areas, walkways and bedding instead.

Materials delivered in Worth County

Order by the local name and you get the material Missouri quarries actually sell. Here is what each one is used for on a Worth County job.

Base rock carries most of the weight on a Worth County job. It is crushed stone and fines sized to compact into a firm, load-bearing layer. Type 1 and Type 5 are 1 inch dense-graded mixes, with Type 5 also capping the finest dust fraction. Type 7 is a coarser 1-1/2 inch grade. Quarries here sell the 1 inch dense-graded base as type 5 base or type 1 base.

Around base rock you have clean stone and sand. Use 3/4 inch clean for drainage beds and construction entrances, 3/8 inch clean for pipe bedding, and washed sand for leveling under slabs. Clean stone has no fines, so never use it where you want a binding base.

Ground conditions across Worth County

Silty loess lies over glacial clay till, deepest on the hills and bluffs along the Missouri River. Subsoils are dense and slow to drain, with a tight claypan under the flat prairies of the northeast.

That claypan is why water perches on the subsoil and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring. A base built thin over that ground will pump and rut. Build base rock thicker and compact it in lifts so the load spreads instead of punching in.

Runoff cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground. High water scours creek and river banks too. Rip rap on banks and a clean stone drainage layer under wet spots handle both problems.

Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring, so base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall, between the wet season and the first hard freeze. Winters here are the hardest in Missouri: January nights average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over. The local building code sets footing depth for frost.

Choosing the right material

The neighboring counties sit on the same northern Missouri glacial plains ground. Nodaway County, Harrison County and Gentry County all share the silty loess over glacial clay till, with dense, slow-draining subsoil and the same claypan under flat prairie ground.

Because that ground is similar, the material choice shifts with the project rather than the county line. A long rural drive in Nodaway County takes the same base rock course as one in Worth County, topped with driveway gravel. A drainage fix in Harrison County calls for the same clean stone and drain rock.

Gentry County projects on flat prairie ground see the same standing water from late fall into spring, so the drainage layer matters there as much as it does here. In all four counties, base depth and drainage decide how a drive holds up.

Order base rock for your Worth County job

Base rock is the material that carries a Worth County driveway, pad or farm lane, and it is the one to start with on ground that drains slowly. Add clean stone where water needs to move, and top the base with driveway gravel once it is compacted.
