Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Dougherty, IA

Iowa Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Dougherty, IA to farm lanes, driveways and building pads. Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base most of that work starts from.

The ground here is thick glacial till that holds water in low spots. The material you put down has to shed that water and still lock up under a truck.

Materials for Dougherty Projects

Start with the base. Class A roadstone is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts into a surface that carries weight.

It goes down on driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Order it at Class A Roadstone.

For a new drive or a lane that takes heavy equipment, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade. It goes underneath a finer surface course and gives soft ground something to stand on.

Order it at 1 Inch Roadstone.

Where a drive has thinned out, driveway rock tops the existing compacted base without rebuilding it. Order it at Driveway Gravel.

Water is the other half of the job. Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it.

Use it for subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and behind retaining walls. Order it at Clean Rock.

Limestone screenings are the fine material for paver and flagstone bedding, joint filling and a top dressing over a compacted base. Order it at Limestone Screenings.

Sand and soil finish the work. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and mason sand goes into brick and block mortar.

Screened topsoil, which Iowa yards call black dirt, handles lawn repair, grading and bed prep. Order them at Washed Sand and Top Soil.

Ground and Conditions in Dougherty

Across the Des Moines Lobe, this is pothole country. The drainage network is young and inefficient, kettles and closed depressions hold water, and most ground only drains because it is tiled.

Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen. That standing water is what pushes a base around and what scours a ditch or a tile outlet.

The soil is thick, compact pebbly loam till with sand and gravel along old meltwater channels. It is heavy ground, and it stays wet late into spring.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives, lanes and field entrances as the ground lets go. Frost depth in this part of Iowa is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.

So 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.
