Bulk Material Delivery in Tingley, IA

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Tingley, IA starts with water. Clay subsoil under this part of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain sheds nothing, so runoff finds the low spots and sits there.

Iowa Rock Supply delivers Class A roadstone, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk. Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base course that binds and compacts.

Materials for Tingley Projects

Start with washed stone. Clean rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it instead of ponding on top.

Use it for French drains, drywells, downspout runs, subdrains and pipe bedding. The same stone backfills behind a retaining wall.

1 inch clean and 1 1/2 inch clean handle the heavier runs. Clean Rock is the size to reach for when a trench has to move water fast.

Class A roadstone comes next. It is the crushed limestone base course for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Fines left in the mix let it bind and compact. Class A Roadstone goes down over fill dirt, not over bare clay.

1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade for a new drive or a lane that carries heavy equipment. 1 Inch Roadstone sits under a finer surface course.

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

Limestone Screenings also firm up the last few feet of a soft lane.

Two more sizes cover drainage and surfacing. 3/4 inch clean stone drains a drive surface and beds pipe.

3/8 inch washed chips suit paver joints and fine drainage. 3/8" Crushed Stone also works as seal coat aggregate.

Ground and Conditions in Tingley

This part of the state gets the longest working season in Iowa. Clay still has to dry before anything gets compacted on top of it.

A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks. Plan the delivery around ground that is ready, not around the calendar.

Old till under a windblown loess mantle covers this ground. The Yarmouth-Sangamon paleosol beneath it is a gummy grey clay that water will not move through.

Farmers working that clay call it gumbo. Water perches on it, runs off, and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade.

Spring rain on saturated clay is the worst of it. That is why a drainage layer matters more here than a thicker surface.

This is also Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep and hillslopes carry a fine texture of rills.

Gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is the main reason rock goes in on slopes and outlets. Riprap armors a bank, a culvert outlet or a pond edge against spring runoff.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, milder than the north but still enough to heave a gravel drive every spring. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Tingley?

Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base course for a drive here, because the fines left in it bind and compact. Top it with driveway rock once the base is compacted.

Where the ground stays wet, put clean rock in a drainage run first. The clay subsoil in this part of the Southern Iowa Drift Plain does not take water, so runoff has to go somewhere.
