Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Gravity, IA

Iowa Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Gravity, IA, and the ground here shapes what you order. Under the loess mantle across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain sits old till and, in places, a gummy grey clay that water will not pass through.

That clay is why Class A roadstone, the crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, goes down under drives, pads and farm lanes before anything else.

Delivery to Gravity and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want help sizing the load before you commit.

A dump truck then tips the material in one pile at the site. Iowa Rock Supply delivers across Gravity and Taylor County, including Lenox, Bedford, Clearfield, New Market and Blockton.

Materials for Gravity Projects

Decorative work drives a lot of what goes on the ground around here, and the choices run from rounded stone to fines. For beds, borders and dry creek beds, river rock is the rounded gravel washed out of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys.

Large river rock suits heavier decorative work, splash pads and bank edges where a bigger stone reads better. Natural Pea Gravel, which Iowa calls Natural Pea Gravel rather than pea stone, fits walkways, play areas and patio bedding.

Where a bed meets a drive or a path, limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Shredded hardwood mulch holds moisture in beds and windbreak plantings through a dry August.

What to order for the job

Ground and Conditions in Gravity

The Southern Iowa Drift Plain is Iowa's most eroded landscape, and that shows up in how water leaves a site. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry a fine texture of rills, and gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is the main reason rock goes in on slopes and outlets.

Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes against spring runoff. Clean rock handles the water that has to move, since it is washed and open graded and does not hold moisture.

Old till under a loess mantle drains at the surface, but the clay subsoil does not take water, so it perches and runs off. Drives at the bottom of a grade go soft, and an under-built base is usually the reason.

Frost heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring, and clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks, so timing matters as much as material.
