Delivery to Martelle and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before checkout.

Choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck tips the load on site. The truck tips it in one pile, so pick a spot that keeps the pile clear of the work area.

Materials for Martelle Projects

Decorative rock is what shapes a lot of the work around here: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover that holds a slope or a wet corner. Rounded stone is the right choice for that, because it sits where it lands instead of locking into a base.

River Rock is washed river gravel, rounded by moving water. Use it in decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock is the oversized grade. It suits dry creek beds, splash pads and heavier decorative or bank work.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is small, rounded and easy underfoot. It works for walkways, play areas, patio bedding and small drainage runs.

For the hard-working parts of the same yard, Class A Roadstone is the base course for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Limestone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them.

Where water has to move, Clean Rock is washed and open graded. It goes into subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock.

Ground and Conditions in Martelle

Across the Iowan Surface, the ground is loamy glacial till planed down by cold-climate erosion. A thin, patchy layer of loess sits over it, and a residual stone line or pebble band often shows up near the surface.

That shallow stone line matters when you set a base. Under-built ground lets the base move, so the roadstone has to go down on ground that has been prepared first.

Drainage here is well established but the 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.

That is where clean, open graded stone earns its place. Water moves straight through it instead of sitting against a foundation or a wall.

Runoff on the long, low slopes does its damage as sheet wash, and it cuts gullies where it concentrates. Riprap armors the places where that runoff leaves a bank or a culvert outlet.

Work starts once frost is out and the low gradient ground has drained, and it runs to the fall freeze. Low spots stay soft well after the uplands are ready.
