Mason Sand for Patios in Scarville, IA

Iowa Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Scarville, IA, and the calendar decides a lot of it. On the Des Moines Lobe the ground stays frozen deep into spring, so base and paver work waits for the frost to come out and for flat ground to shed its water.

That leaves a window from late spring to the fall freeze, and a wet spring shortens it. Class A roadstone is where most of that work starts, with bedding materials over it.

Ground and Conditions in Scarville

The ground across the Des Moines Lobe is thick, compact pebbly loam till. It is the youngest glacial ground in Iowa, and much of it drains only because it is tiled.

Kettles and closed depressions hold water. Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen.

A paver or slab laid on a thin base shows the failure fast. The surface rocks, joints open, and low spots pond after a thaw.

The fix is a compacted Class A roadstone base with a bedding layer over it, built when the subgrade has drained. Compaction waits for the frost to leave.

Ditch and tile outlet scour and washouts on the moraine ridges are the erosion you see here. Riprap and clean rock handle those edges.

Materials for Scarville Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the part of the job that decides how the surface ages. Iowa Rock Supply carries the bedding materials, the base under them, and the drainage stone around them.

Class A Roadstone is the standard Iowa base course. It is 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under a drive, a pad or a shed base.

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

Limestone Screenings are the bedding layer. Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and top dress a compacted roadstone base.

Mason Sand is masonry sand, and it does the same work in finer form: brick and block mortar, paver joints, play sand and horse arena footing.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers. It also works as sand fill where a clean, free draining grade is wanted.

Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it. Limestone screenings and mason sand do the opposite job: they hold a level bed for the surface above.
