Start with Class A roadstone for a drive, a parking pad or a farm lane. This ground sits on old till under a loess mantle, so a drive lives on what you put under it.

Materials for De Soto Projects

Class A roadstone is the base course here. It is 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, a soft spot or a lane that carries heavy equipment, lay 1 inch roadstone underneath. It is the coarser grade, and it goes down before a finer surface course.

Top an existing drive that has thinned out with driveway rock over a compacted Class A base. Link each material to its product page and order the quantity you need.

Washed stone handles water. Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it, which suits subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock.

3/4 inch clean stone works for drive surfacing where you want a loose, free draining surface, plus pipe bedding and trench backfill. Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Sand and soil round out a project. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, black dirt repairs lawns and preps beds, and garden soil fills raised beds.

For decorative work, river rock and large river rock build dry creek beds and borders. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio bedding.

Ground and Conditions in De Soto

Rain and spring snowmelt are the drivers here. Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, clay subsoil will not take water, so it perches and runs off instead of soaking in.

That leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade. A drainage layer of clean rock gives the water somewhere to go.

This is the state'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 at outlets.

Riprap, also called revetment stone, armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes against spring runoff.

The working season here runs long, but clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, which heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
