Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for New Vienna, IA

Wondering what to put on a slope that keeps washing out? Gravel and aggregate delivery in New Vienna, IA starts with the coarse end of the size range.

Iowa Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand, soil and mulch by the ton.

Class A roadstone builds the base. Coarse clean rock and riprap hold the ground above it, which matters where the soil sits thin over bedrock.

Materials for New Vienna Projects

Slope, swale and bank work starts with the biggest stone on the page. Rounded gravel is not the answer on a grade.

Angular stone is.

Coarse Stone for Slopes and Banks

Riprap, also called revetment stone, armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes that take spring runoff. Class D and Class E revetment describe how the size is specified locally.

Railroad ballast is large, angular stone for track beds and heavy hard standing where water needs to move fast. #4 Crushed Stone covers trench bottoms and construction entrances at a smaller size.

Drainage Stone

Clean Rock, also called clean stone, is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it. It goes into subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and behind retaining walls.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone handle drainage runs and subdrain backfill, with D57 and D67 as the local gradations. 3/4" Crushed Stone works as loose drive surfacing and trench backfill.

Base and Surface Stone

Class A Roadstone is the standard Iowa base course: crushed limestone with the fines left in so it binds and compacts. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

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

Ground and Conditions in New Vienna

Across the Paleozoic Plateau, the driftless northeast, thin soil sits over limestone, dolomite, sandstone and shale, with bedrock shallow on the ridgetops. The working season runs from the spring thaw to the fall freeze.

Karst shapes how water behaves in this part of the state. It disappears into sinkholes, fractures and underground passages instead of running off, and springs run year round.

Steep valley sides send runoff down fast after a storm, scouring drives and lanes and cutting banks. Coarse stone at the toe of a slope slows that water and holds the ground behind it.

Steep drives and switchback lanes set the pace on scheduling. Surfaces get topped up in the fall, because winter access on grades is the constraint here.

What stone should I use for drainage in New Vienna?

Washed, open graded stone lets water through, so start with clean rock for subdrains, pipe bedding and retaining wall backfill. For drainage runs and concrete work, #57 Stone and #67 Stone are the sizes specified locally as D57 and D67.

Riprap handles the open channels and banks where the flow is strongest.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with room for a dump truck to tip a full load in one pile. Choose your quantity by the ton or yard and pick a delivery date at checkout.

The truck tips the material where it lands, so plan for moving it from there.
