Bulk Material Delivery in Donnellson, IA

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Donnellson, IA? Iowa Rock Supply delivers Class A roadstone, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk.

On the river terraces here, sandy ground drains fast, so the water has to go somewhere.

A washed stone and drainage order often starts the job, then the base course goes in over it.

Materials for Donnellson Projects

Washer stone, French drains, drywells and downspout runs all depend on open graded rock that lets water move through instead of pooling. That is where clean rock earns its place.

Clean Rock

Clean rock, sold by the inch as 1 inch clean or 1 1/2 inch clean, is washed and open graded. Water runs straight through it, which suits subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock.

For a French drain or a downspout run, this is the stone that carries water away from the house. Behind a retaining wall it does the same work.

Order it as Clean Rock.

3/4 Inch Clean Stone and Washed Chips

3/4" Crushed Stone is a loose, free draining surface for a drive or a trench backfill. It stays open rather than binding, so water keeps moving.

At the fine end, 3/8" Crushed Stone is what Iowa quarries sell as washed chips. It works for paver joints, fine drainage and a thin top dressing.

Class A Roadstone and Screenings

Class A roadstone, the 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, binds and compacts into a base for drives and shed bases. Start a new drive with 1 inch roadstone underneath, then bring a finer course over it.

Limestone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and dress the top of a compacted base. Order the base as Class A Roadstone.

Ground and Conditions in Donnellson

Across the Mississippi River corridor, the ground is sand, gravel, silt and clay on the river terraces, with sandy blow ground on the older terraces. Older till and loess uplands rise behind the bluff line.

Sandy terraces drain fast, and the floodplain barely drains at all. Spring snowmelt raises the river and backs water up the tributary mouths, flooding low ground well after local rain has stopped.

Erosion shows up as river bank cutting and flood scour, with gully erosion on the loess covered bluffs above the valley. A clean rock drainage layer and rip rap at an outlet both put that water somewhere useful.

Winter cold brings repeated freeze and thaw, which heaves gravel drives and river road surfaces each spring. Frost depth in this part of Iowa is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Low lying work waits for the spring river crest to pass before the base goes in. Upland work follows the ordinary thaw to fall freeze pattern, so plan the timing around that.
