Buy Clean Rock in Clearfield, IA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Clearfield, IA, start with the job in front of you: a drive that has gone soft, a shed pad, a drainage run, a patio base. Iowa Rock Supply sells bulk material online and delivers it across Taylor County.

Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base course this market builds on, with the fines left in so it binds and compacts. Around Clearfield that matters, because the clay under the loess does not take water.

Materials for Clearfield Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a Clearfield project usually starts. Class A roadstone is the 3/4 inch crushed limestone base course, and it goes down under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

On a new drive, a soft spot or a lane that carries heavy equipment, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade that sits under a finer surface course. To top a drive or lane that has thinned out, Driveway Gravel goes over a compacted roadstone base.

Washed, open graded stone is the other half of the work here. Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it, which is what subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock need.

For a drive surface that stays loose and free draining, 3/4" Crushed Stone is the clean grade to use. Limestone Screenings are the fines: paver and flagstone bedding, joint filling, and a fine top dressing over a compacted roadstone base.

Sand and soil round out a build. Mason Sand mixes brick and block mortar and fills paver joints.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Top Soil, which Iowa yards call screened black dirt, handles lawn repair, grading and bed prep.

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

Ground and Conditions in Clearfield

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, the ground is old till under a windblown loess mantle. Beneath it sits a thick, gummy grey clay that water will not move through.

Farmers working it call it gumbo.

That clay is why water is the whole story on a Clearfield drive. Rain and spring snowmelt perk down through the loess, hit the clay and stop.

The water then perches, runs off, and leaves a drive soft at the bottom of a grade.

This is also the state'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 reason rock goes in on slopes and at culvert outlets.

Riprap is the angular stone for armoring a bank, a pond edge or a slope against runoff.

The working season here is the longest in the state, but clay has to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks, so plan the grading and the stone together.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, which heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring. Footing depth is set by the local building official, so check with them before you pour.
