Bulk Material Delivery in Dana, IA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Dana, IA, start with what the ground does. This is pothole country on the Des Moines Lobe, where closed depressions hold water and flat ground sheds it slowly.

Iowa Rock Supply delivers Class A roadstone, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk by the ton.

Water is the first problem to solve. Washed, open graded stone moves it; fines left in a base course hold it.

Pick the material that matches the job.

Materials for Dana Projects

Washed stone carries water instead of holding it. Clean rock, sold as 1 inch clean or 1 1/2 inch clean, is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it.

Use it for French drains, drywells, downspout runs, subdrains and pipe bedding.

Clean stone comes in sizes. Clean Rock handles the coarse work.

3/4" Crushed Stone suits drive surfacing where a loose, free draining surface is wanted. 3/8" Crushed Stone, sold locally as washed chips, goes into paver joints and fine drainage.

Fines-bearing material is the opposite job. Class A Roadstone is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts into a base for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

1 Inch Roadstone is the coarser grade for a new drive, a soft spot or a lane carrying heavy equipment.

Sand and soil finish the work. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil, called black dirt here, repairs lawns and preps beds.

Ground and Conditions in Dana

The ground here is thick, compact pebbly loam till, 45 to 60 feet deep across the Des Moines Lobe, with sand and gravel along old meltwater channels. Below the surface, that ground holds water in kettles and closed depressions.

Much of it only drains because it is tiled.

Spring is the hard part. Snowmelt and rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen.

Compaction waits for the frost to come out and for flat ground to shed its spring water. Base and paver work runs from late spring to the fall freeze, and a wet spring shortens that window.

Freeze-thaw heaves gravel drives, lanes and field entrances as the ground lets go. Ditch and tile outlet scour, plus washouts where runoff concentrates, are the erosion to plan around.

A clean, open graded stone at a drain or outlet gives that water somewhere to go.
