Materials delivered in Page County
Class A roadstone is the standard Iowa base course: crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts.
11, and Class C gravel to Gradation No. 10.
County engineers and city entrance standards write the same material as Class A roadstone.
Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. For a new drive, a soft spot or a lane that carries heavy equipment, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade, laid under a finer surface course.
Both keep their fines and compact into a bound base.
Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and dress the top of a compacted roadstone base. Clean rock is washed and open graded for subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding, septic rock and backfill behind retaining walls.
Riprap, sold as revetment stone by class letter under Section 4130, armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes against spring runoff.
Ground conditions across Page County
Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, old pre-Illinoian till sits under a windblown loess mantle, usually 5 to 30 feet thick, with buried paleosols beneath. The Yarmouth-Sangamon paleosol is a thick, gummy grey clay that water will not move through.
Farmers call working in it gumbo.
Steeply rolling ground drains at the surface, but the clay subsoil does not take water. It perches, runs off, and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade.
This is Iowa's most eroded landscape, so gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is the main reason rock goes in on slopes and outlets.
The working season here is the longest in the state, but clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.
Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, milder than the north but still enough to heave gravel drives and lanes every spring.
Choosing the right material
Mills County and Fremont County sit on Loess Hills and Missouri River valley ground: wind blown silt more than 60 feet deep, and 150 to 200 feet in places, forming steep ridges with broad, flat, sandy and silty river bottom.
That silt is deep and open, so water moves through it far more freely than through the clay till here.
On that ground, drainage is less of a fight and slope protection matters more. In Page County, the clay subsoil perches water, so clean rock and a bound roadstone base carry the load.
Montgomery County shares the Southern Iowa Drift Plain ground, the same till under loess with the gummy grey paleosol beneath. The ground is the same, and so is the choice: roadstone for a base, clean rock where water has to move.
