This is the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, where windblown loess sits over old till and a gummy grey clay stops water cold. That clay decides what you need under a drive.

Materials for Mount Ayr Projects

Washed, open graded stone is the answer to water that will not soak in. Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it.

That makes it the material for French drains, drywells, downspout runs, subdrains and pipe bedding.

Paired with a downspout run, Clean Rock carries roof water away from the house instead of letting it pool on that clay. It also backfills behind a retaining wall.

Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. It goes under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Class A Roadstone is the material to build on when you want a firm surface.

For a new drive or a soft spot that carries heavy equipment, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade. 1 Inch Roadstone lays under a finer surface course.

Limestone screenings are the fines, used to bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and top dress a compacted base. Limestone Screenings give a tight, walkable finish.

For decorative beds and dry creek beds, river rock is rounded gravel washed out of the big river valleys. River Rock covers borders, and large river rock handles heavier bank and splash work.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Ayr

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks, so timing a delivery matters as much as picking the material.

The ground here rolls, and surface water drains off it while the clay subsoil refuses to take water in. Water perches, runs downhill, and leaves the bottom of a grade soft.

That is where a clean stone drainage layer earns its place.

This is also Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry rills, and gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is the reason rock goes in on slopes and culvert outlets.

Riprap armors those spots.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, which heaves gravel drives and lanes in spring. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches in this part of Iowa, and the local building official sets footing depth.
