Materials for Bussey Projects

Start with the base course. Class A roadstone is 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts into a firm surface for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

For a new drive or a lane that carries heavy equipment, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade. It goes down under a finer surface course.

1 Inch Roadstone handles soft spots and heavy loads.

Top an existing drive that has thinned out with Driveway Gravel. It sits over a compacted roadstone base and restores the running surface.

Washed stone is the open graded side of the yard. Water moves straight through it, which suits subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock.

Clean Rock comes in 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch sizes.

For drive surfacing where a loose, free draining stone is wanted, use 3/4" Crushed Stone. It also beds pipe and backfills trenches.

Limestone screenings are the fine end. Limestone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and dress the top of a compacted roadstone base.

Sand and soil round out a project. Mason Sand mixes mortar for brick and block and beds pavers.

Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

Iowa yards call screened topsoil black dirt. Top Soil repairs lawns, grades ground and preps beds.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low ground.

For decorative work, River Rock fills beds, borders and dry creek beds. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Bussey

Rain and spring snowmelt drive everything here. Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, the ground rolls steeply and sheds water at the surface, but the clay subsoil underneath does not take it.

That clay is old pre-Illinoian till under a windblown loess mantle. The Yarmouth-Sangamon paleosol sits in it as a thick, gummy grey clay that water will not move through.

Farmers call working in it gumbo.

So water perches, runs off, and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade. Spring rain on saturated clay is the worst of it, and a wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.

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

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, milder than the north but still enough to heave gravel drives and lanes every spring. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Open graded clean rock lets water through instead of holding it. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes against runoff.
