Buy Fill Dirt in Everly, IA

Iowa Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Everly, IA for two kinds of buyers. Contractors building farm lanes and pads order Class A roadstone by the truckload.

Homeowners fixing a lawn or bedding a paver walk want fill dirt and black dirt in smaller amounts.

Both are the same job underneath: getting the grade right before anything goes on top of it. Clay County ground sits on the Des Moines Lobe, so what you put down first decides how the rest holds up.

Materials for Everly Projects

Topsoil, garden soil and fill dirt carry most grading and bed prep work here, and each one solves a different problem. Screened black dirt is what Iowa yards call screened topsoil: dark prairie soil for lawn repair, grading and bed prep.

Garden mix is blended richer for raised beds and vegetable plots.

Fill dirt is the rougher grade. Use it to raise low ground and backfill before a roadstone course goes down on top.

Once the grade is set, the base course is Class A roadstone: crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. For a new drive or a soft spot, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade that goes underneath.

Washed material is a different family. Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it.

That makes it the right choice for subdrains, drainage tile backfill and pipe bedding, where a fines-bearing stone would seal up.

For sand, washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. Mason sand is finer, and it goes into brick and block mortar, paver joints and play areas.

Decorative work runs to river rock for beds and dry creek beds, and Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and patio bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Everly

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 at all because it is tiled.

Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen.

For a buyer, that changes the order of work. Water that has nowhere to go has to be moved before a base goes down, which is why clean rock and drainage stone matter as much as the surface course.

Erosion here is less about slope and more about concentration. Ditch and tile outlet scour, plus washouts where runoff gathers on the moraine ridges.

Riprap armors culvert outlets, pond edges and stream banks against spring runoff.

Timing is the other constraint. Compaction waits for frost to come out and for flat ground to shed spring water.

Base and paver work runs from late spring to the fall freeze, and a wet spring shortens that window.

Winters are long and cold, with repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives, lanes and field entrances as the ground lets go in spring. Footing depth is set by the local building official.

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and every product page has a calculator to help you size the load.

What stone should I use for drainage in Everly?

Use a washed, open graded stone so water passes through instead of pooling. Clean rock suits subdrains, drainage tile backfill and pipe bedding.

For drive surfacing that drains, 3/4 inch clean stone works, and #57 stone covers drainage runs and subdrain backfill. Riprap handles culvert outlets and bank protection where runoff concentrates.
