Limestone Screenings for Pathways in Logan, IA

Iowa Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Logan, IA, from Class A roadstone to limestone screenings and washed stone. If you are building a path, a drive or a drainage run on a Harrison County property, the material you order decides how the surface holds up.

Logan sits in the Loess Hills and the Missouri River valley, where deep wind blown silt shapes how ground drains and how it moves when it is wet.

Ground and Conditions in Logan

Across the Loess Hills and the Missouri River valley, the silt runs more than 60 feet deep and reaches 150 to 200 feet in places. It stands in near vertical faces when dry and cuts steep sided gullies under runoff.

That same ground collapses and slides once it is saturated. A thin base course over silt shows the failure first: the surface ruts, pumps and loses its shape after a wet stretch.

The fix is a compacted roadstone base with the fines left in, so the material binds and holds instead of shifting. On the flat river bottom west of the bluff line, a high water table and spring flooding are the constraint, which is why bottomland drives get built up on rock.

Hill work waits for the silt to dry, because wet loess will not hold a cut. Bottomland work waits for the spring rise to pass, and both run from the thaw into late fall.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw that heaves drives and loosens the silt faces of cuts and banks as the ground thaws. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches in this part of the state, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Materials for Logan Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walkways here. Limestone Screenings, sold as screenings or 3/8 inch minus screenings, bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and dress the top of a compacted roadstone base.

They pack tight underfoot, which is what a garden path or a walkway between beds wants. Walkway Gravel covers the same ground at a finer, walkable grade for paths that see regular foot traffic.

Underneath either one, Class A Roadstone is the standard Iowa base course: 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes, and it binds and compacts where a clean stone will not.

Where a new drive or a lane carrying heavy equipment needs a coarser start, 1 Inch Roadstone lays under a finer surface course. For water that has to move, Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so it suits subdrains, pipe bedding and backfill behind retaining walls.
