Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Silver City, IA

Iowa Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Silver City, IA. Class A roadstone is the base course that holds up most drives and farm lanes here.

Timing matters in Mills County. Hill work waits for the silt to dry, and bottomland work waits for the spring rise to pass.

Materials for Silver City Projects

Class A roadstone is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. It builds driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Order it at Class A Roadstone.

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.

See 1 Inch Roadstone.

Driveway rock tops an existing drive or lane that has thinned out, over a compacted roadstone base. It is available at Driveway Gravel.

Limestone screenings are the fines. They bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and dress the top of a compacted roadstone base.

Order at Limestone Screenings.

Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it. It goes into subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding, septic rock and behind retaining walls.

See Clean Rock.

Mason sand mixes into brick and block mortar, fills paver joints and works as play sand or horse arena footing. It is sold at Mason Sand.

Black dirt is screened topsoil, named for the dark prairie soils the state is known for. It repairs lawns, grades ground and preps beds.

Order it at Top Soil.

River rock is rounded gravel washed out of the Missouri, Mississippi and their tributary valleys. It fills decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

See River Rock.

Ground and Conditions in Silver City

Across the Loess Hills and the Missouri River valley, water arrives two ways. On the hills, a dense network of narrow ravines and steep gullies sheds it fast.

On the bottoms, flat ground with a high water table and river flooding is the constraint.

That is why bottomland drives get built up on rock. A clean, open graded stone under the surface layer gives the water somewhere to go instead of sitting in the base.

Loess erodes as almost nothing else does. It stands in near vertical faces when dry, cuts deep, steep sided gullies under runoff, and collapses or slides once it is saturated.

Along the river, bank cutting and flood scour do the rest.

Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes against spring runoff. It is listed at Riprap.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw that heaves drives and loosens the silt faces of cuts and banks as the ground thaws. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches in this part of Iowa, and the local building official sets footing depth.
