Delivery to Floyd and the Surrounding Area

You order online. Choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, then pick a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at your site.

Delivery covers Floyd and the rest of Floyd County, including Charles City, Nora Springs, Rockford, Rudd and Marble Rock. If your project sits on a farm lane outside town, that is still a normal stop.

Materials for Floyd Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of Floyd yards start, and the choices there are simple. River rock is rounded gravel washed out of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys, and it suits beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large river rock takes the same look at a bigger size, for dry creek beds, splash pads and heavier bank work. Natural Pea Gravel is the 3/8 inch rounded stone for walkways, play areas and patio bedding.

For a bed that needs to hold moisture, shredded hardwood mulch is the double ground material that goes around tree rings and windbreak plantings. Ground cover under a dry creek bed or a border often starts with black dirt, the screened topsoil Iowa yards ask for by that name.

Then the structural side. Class A roadstone is the 3/4 inch crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under a drive, a parking pad, a shed base or a farm lane.

Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it in subdrains, pipe bedding and backfill behind a retaining wall.

Ground and Conditions in Floyd

Across the Iowan Surface, the ground is loamy glacial till planed down by cold-climate erosion, with a thin and patchy loess cover. A residual stone line or pebble band often sits near the surface, and large granite and quartzite erratics turn up in the fields.

That matters for what you build on. An under-built base on ground like this moves and settles, so the base course is what carries the load.

Get the roadstone right and the surface above it stays put.

Drainage networks here are well established, but stream gradients are low, so water moves slowly and pockets of old wetland ground still hold water. Limestone aquifers keep the rivers running in dry spells and can put groundwater close to the surface.

Where groundwater sits high, a clean, open graded stone is the right layer, because it lets water through instead of trapping it. Sheet wash on the long, low slopes and gully cutting where runoff concentrates are the other things to plan around.

Work starts once frost is out and the low ground has drained, and runs to the fall freeze. Low spots stay soft well after the uplands are ready, so timing matters as much as the material.
