Class A roadstone is the base most drives and lanes here start from. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under a truck.
Ground Conditions Across Wayne County
Start with water. Rain and spring snowmelt soak the loess mantle, then hit the old till and the gummy grey clay beneath it.
That clay will not take water. It perches, runs off, and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade.
Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, the same clay is what farmers call gumbo.
This is Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry a fine texture of rills, and gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is the main reason rock goes in on slopes and outlets.
Plan around the working season. This part of the state gets the longest working season in Iowa, but clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted.
A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.
Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, milder than the north but still enough to heave gravel drives and lanes every spring. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
Materials Delivered in Wayne County
Materials arrive by the ton or the yard and are tipped in one pile on site. Match the material to the job.
Base and Roadstone
Class A roadstone is the 3/4 inch crushed limestone base course.
11 and Class C gravel to Gradation No. 10.
County engineers and city entrance standards call the same material roadstone and write it as Class A roadstone.
Order it for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. It is the standard Iowa base course.
For a new drive, a soft spot, or a lane that carries heavy equipment, start with 1 Inch Roadstone and lay a finer surface course over it. To top a drive that has thinned out, use Driveway Gravel over a compacted roadstone base.
Washed Stone, Sand and Soil
Washed stone is open graded, so water moves through it. Use Clean Rock for subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock.
Use 3/4" Crushed Stone for drive surfacing where a loose, free draining stone is wanted, plus pipe bedding and trench backfill. Iowa quarries sell 3/8 inch washed stone as washed chips, and 3/8" Crushed Stone covers seal coat aggregate, fine drainage and paver joints.
Mason Sand goes into brick and block mortar, paver joints, play sand and horse arena footing. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and works as sand fill where a clean, free draining grade is wanted.
Top Soil is screened black dirt for lawn repair, grading and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low ground, and backfills before a roadstone course goes down.
Garden Soil is blended richer for raised beds and vegetable gardens.

Choosing the Right Material
Wayne County sits on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, and so do Appanoose County, Clarke County and Lucas County. The ground is the same old pre-Illinoian till under a windblown loess mantle, with the gummy grey clay beneath.
That means the same clay subsoil that will not take water sits under all four counties. Water perches, runs off, and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade.
So the choice comes down to the material, not the county line. For a compacted base, use Class A roadstone.
Where water needs to move, use clean rock or washed chips.
On slopes and at outlets, use riprap to armor against runoff. For beds and paths, match the finish you want, from river rock to screenings.
