Materials for Prescott Projects

Water is the reason most washed stone goes in around here. Clay subsoil in this part of the state does not take water, so it perches and runs off instead of soaking away.

Open graded stone gives that water somewhere to go.

Clean rock is crushed limestone, washed and open graded, with no fines to hold moisture. Use it for French drains, drywells, downspout runs and drainage tile backfill, where water moves straight through the stone.

Clean Rock and 3/4" Crushed Stone both work in a trench, and both stay loose rather than binding up.

For the surface over a compacted base, Class A roadstone is the standard Iowa base course. It goes down on drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes, and the fines let it tighten up under traffic.

Screenings are the fine end. Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and dress the top of a compacted roadstone base.

Where a drive wants a looser, free draining surface, 3/4 inch clean stone is the usual pick. Washed chips at 3/8 inch suit seal coat aggregate, fine drainage and paver joints.

Delivery to Prescott and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile on your site.

Delivery covers Prescott and the rest of Adams County, including Corning, Nodaway and Carbon. If your job sits on a farm lane or a tight drive, have the pile spot clear before the truck arrives.

Bulk loads are heavy and the truck needs room to turn and tip. Check the approach after a wet spell, because soft ground at the bottom of a grade is common here in spring.

Ground and Conditions in Prescott

The working season here is the longest in the state, but clay has to dry before anything gets compacted on it. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks, so time your delivery around the ground, not the calendar.

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, old till sits under a windblown loess mantle. Beneath that is a thick, gummy grey clay that water will not move through, and local farmers call working in it gumbo.

Ground like that drains at the surface but perches underneath, which leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade. That is where a clean stone drainage layer earns its place under a base.

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

Riprap armors stream banks, pond edges and culvert outlets against spring runoff. Cold winters with repeated freeze-thaw still heave gravel drives and lanes every spring.
