Bulk Material Delivery in Bonaparte, IA

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Bonaparte, IA? Iowa Rock Supply brings bulk material to your site by the ton.

Start with Class A roadstone for a compacted base on drives, pads and farm lanes.

This corner of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain drains at the surface, then stalls on clay. Washed stone handles that water.

Materials for Bonaparte Projects

Water is the problem here. Clay subsoil under a loess mantle will not take it, so it perches and runs off.

Washed stone moves it instead of holding it.

Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so water passes straight through. Use it in French drains, drywells, downspout runs, subdrains and septic work.

Run a downspout into a drywell packed with clean rock and roof water stops pooling at the foundation. The same stone backfills behind a retaining wall.

3/4" Crushed Stone is the finer washed grade. It suits drive surfacing where you want a loose, free draining layer, plus pipe bedding and trench backfill.

For heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms, #4 Crushed Stone gives you a larger angular stone. #57 Stone covers drainage runs, subdrain backfill and concrete aggregate.

Where the ground needs to bind instead of drain, Class A Roadstone is the crushed limestone base course with the fines left in. It compacts into a firm surface for drives, parking pads and shed bases.

Ground and Conditions in Bonaparte

This is the longest working season in the state, but clay has to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.

Plan around that. Fill dirt goes down first to raise grade or fill low ground, then a roadstone course on top once the ground is fit.

Old till under a windblown loess mantle hides a thick grey clay that water will not move through. Farmers call working in it gumbo, and drives at the bottom of a grade go soft in spring rain.

This is also Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry rills, and gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is the main reason rock goes on slopes and outlets.

Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that runoff. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring.
