Bulk Gravel Delivery to New London, IA

Iowa Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in New London, IA, with Class A roadstone leading the list. That is the crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, the standard Iowa base for drives, pads and farm lanes.

The ground here is old till under a windblown loess mantle.

You order by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck tips the load on your site.

Ground and Conditions in New London

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, the subsoil is a thick gummy grey clay that water will not move through. Rain perches on top of it instead of soaking away, so drives go soft at the bottom of a grade.

A thin base shows that first. The stone grinds into the clay, ruts appear, and spring thaw lifts what is left.

The repair is a roadstone course that binds and compacts into a real layer rather than a scatter of loose stone.

This is Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry fine rills, and gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain puts rock on slopes and at culvert outlets.

Clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted here. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks, so plan around the ground, not the calendar.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw and heave gravel drives and lanes every spring. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.

Materials for New London Projects

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

On a garden path they give a surface that stays tight underfoot.

For a walkable path that wants something softer, Natural Pea Gravel, or 3/8 inch Natural Pea Gravel, suits walkways, play areas and small drainage runs. Washed chips, sold as 3/8 inch washed chips, work for paver joints and a thin top dressing.

Under all of it sits Class A roadstone. It is the 3/4 inch crushed limestone base course for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes, and the fines left in are what let it bind.

For a new drive or a lane carrying heavy equipment, 1 inch roadstone goes down first as the coarser grade.

Where water has to move, switch to clean rock. It is washed and open graded, so it drains, and it suits subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and the backfill behind retaining walls.

For slope and outlet work, rip rap, also called Class D revetment, armors stream banks, pond edges and culvert outlets against spring runoff.
