Materials for Rolfe Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection around here. Water concentrates where runoff gathers, so the open graded sizes matter more than the fine ones.

Riprap is the largest option, and it armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes against spring runoff. It is sold locally as revetment stone by class.

Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it. Use it for subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and behind retaining walls.

#4 Crushed Stone suits heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. Iowa quarries usually sell this size as clean rock by the inch.

#57 Stone covers drainage runs, subdrain backfill and concrete aggregate at a slightly smaller size. Local concrete gradations are written D57 and D67.

Class A Roadstone is the crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Delivery to Rolfe 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 on your site.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives, with room for a truck to turn around and pull out. Mark anything overhead or buried that the load should not land on.

Ground and Conditions in Rolfe

Across the Des Moines Lobe the ground is thick, compact pebbly loam till, with sand and gravel along old meltwater channels. Kettles and closed depressions hold water, and most ground drains only because it is tiled.

That makes the working season short. Compaction waits for the frost to come out and the flat ground to shed its spring water, so base and paver work runs from late spring to the fall freeze.

Winter freeze-thaw heaves gravel drives, lanes and field entrances as the ground lets go in spring. Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen, which is where open graded stone earns its place.

Long, cold winters mean a deep frozen season. A frost depth of 42 inches is common, and the local building official sets footing depth.
