Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Clarinda, IA

Iowa Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Clarinda, IA, to your drive, your beds and your building pad. Class A roadstone is the base most ground work here starts from, a crushed limestone with the fines left in so it binds and compacts.

Clarinda sits in Page County on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, where old till under a loess mantle shapes how a drive holds up.

Materials for Clarinda Projects

Decorative rock does the finishing work on a lot of properties around Clarinda. Beds, borders and dry creek beds all read better with rounded stone than with crushed limestone.

River Rock is washed rounded gravel out of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys. Use it in decorative beds, along borders and through dry creek beds.

Large River Rock is the oversized grade of the same rounded stone. It suits dry creek beds, splash pads and heavier bank work.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and patio bedding. Iowa says Natural Pea Gravel for this size, and it also handles small drainage runs.

Limestone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Over a compacted roadstone base, screenings make a fine top dressing.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through a dry Iowa August. Windbreak plantings take it well too.

Ground and Conditions in Clarinda

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, the ground is old till under a windblown loess mantle, with buried paleosols below. One of those layers is a thick, gummy grey clay that water will not move through.

That clay makes an under-built base fail. Water perches on it instead of draining away, so a drive goes soft at the bottom of a grade after spring rain.

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 why rock goes in on slopes and at outlets.

Riprap and clean rock are the materials for that work. Riprap armors stream banks and culvert outlets, while clean rock is washed and open graded so water moves straight through it.

Clay also sets your working season. The region gets the longest working season in the state, but clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted.

A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring.
