Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Solon, IA

This is Southern Iowa Drift Plain ground. Windblown loess sits over old till, and the clay beneath it holds water.

Materials for Solon Projects

Class A roadstone is the standard base course here. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under a drive, a parking pad or a shed base.

1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade. Use it under a finer surface course on a new drive, a soft spot or a farm lane that carries heavy equipment.

Top an existing drive that has thinned out with driveway gravel, laid over a compacted roadstone base. For garden paths and walkways that want a finer, walkable surface, walkway gravel fits better than drive rock.

Washed stone is the open graded side of the yard. Clean rock goes into subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and behind retaining walls, and water moves straight through it.

3/8 inch washed chips are seal coat aggregate and a fine top dressing. Limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

Sand and soil round out a job. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and mason sand mixes mortar and fills paver joints.

Iowa yards call screened topsoil black dirt. It handles lawn repair, grading and bed prep, and garden soil is blended richer for raised beds.

For decorative beds and dry creek beds, river rock and Natural Pea Gravel cover the ground. Shredded hardwood mulch holds moisture through a dry August.

Ground and Conditions in Solon

Start with where the water goes. Rain and spring snowmelt run off rolling ground fast, and the clay subsoil does not take it in.

So it perches and runs, and drives go soft at the bottom of a grade. Saturated clay in a wet spring is the worst of it.

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, this is the state's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry rills, and gullies open after heavy rain.

That is why rock goes on slopes and at culvert outlets. Riprap armors stream banks, pond edges and outlets against runoff, and clean rock gives water a path down and away.

Clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks, so time the roadstone for a dry stretch.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring. Footing depth is set by the local building official.
