Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for New Virginia, IA

Iowa Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in New Virginia, IA to drives, lanes and building sites. Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base this part of Iowa builds on, with the fines left in so it binds and compacts.

New Virginia sits on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, where clay subsoil sheds water instead of taking it. That decides which stone goes where on your ground.

Materials for New Virginia Projects

Water on a slope is the first problem in this county. Coarse, open stone armor the places where runoff cuts: stream banks, culvert outlets, swales and pond edges.

Riprap is the heavy option for bank armoring and slope protection. Iowa quarries sell it by class, and it goes where spring runoff hits hardest.

Large River Rock handles dry creek beds, splash pads and heavier bank work. It is rounded gravel washed out of the big river valleys, so it will not lock together like angular stone.

#4 Crushed Stone is angular and open, for heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. #57 Stone and #67 Stone are written D57 and D67 in Iowa concrete stone gradations.

Clean Rock is washed and open graded, used for subdrains, pipe bedding, septic rock and backfill behind retaining walls. Water moves straight through it, which is the whole point.

Below that, Class A Roadstone is the standard base course for drives, pads, shed bases and farm lanes. 1 Inch Roadstone is the coarser grade, laid under it on a new drive or a soft spot.

Finer material finishes the work. Limestone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Mason Sand mixes mortar and sets paver joints. Top Soil, the screened black dirt Iowa yards ask for, repairs lawns and preps beds.

Ground and Conditions in New Virginia

This part of the state gets the longest working season in Iowa, but clay ground has to dry before anything is compacted on it. A wet spring pushes base work back by weeks.

The soil is old till under a windblown loess mantle, with a thick grey clay layer beneath that water will not move through. Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain that clay perches water, so it runs off and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade.

This is Iowa's most eroded landscape, and it shows after heavy rain. Streams cut deep, hillsides carry fine rills, and gullies open on slopes.

That is why coarse stone goes in on banks and outlets here.

Frost heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring, and the building official sets footing depth. Plan your delivery for ground that is dry enough to work.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in New Virginia

What stone should I use for drainage in New Virginia?

Use clean, open graded stone where water has to move: Clean Rock for subdrains, pipe bedding and wall backfill, and #4 Crushed Stone for heavier drainage and trench bottoms. Class A roadstone binds and compacts, so it belongs under a drive, not in a drain.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Pick your delivery date at checkout and have the drop spot clear and reachable. The driver tips the load in one pile, so leave room for it and keep vehicles out of the way.

If the ground is soft from spring rain, the truck needs a firm place to stand.
