Delivery to West Point and the Surrounding Area

Ordering is done online. Pick your material, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and set a delivery date at checkout.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at your site. That is the whole process, and it covers West Point along with Fort Madison, Keokuk, Donnellson, Montrose and Wever.

Bulk loads are heavy, so plan where the pile should land before the truck arrives. Once it is on the ground, you move it from there.

Materials for West Point Projects

Raising grade and building pads start with fill, not with stone. Fill dirt comes as clay fill dirt or sandy fill dirt and goes down first to lift low ground and backfill ahead of a base course.

On top of that fill, Class A roadstone is the compacted base for drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. The fines stay in, so it binds and tightens under a vehicle.

For a new drive or a lane that carries heavy equipment, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade. It works under a finer surface course or over a soft spot.

1 Inch Roadstone is the product to order.

Where water has to move instead of sit, clean rock is washed and open graded, so it drains. Use it for subdrains, pipe bedding and backfill behind a retaining wall.

Clean Rock is sold by the inch, as 1 inch clean or 1 1/2 inch clean.

• Class A Roadstone for drives, pads and lanes that need a bound, compacted base.
• Fill Dirt for raising grade and backfilling before any base goes down.
• Top Soil, or black dirt, for lawn repair and grading over finished ground.

Ground and Conditions in West Point

Ground along the Mississippi River corridor runs to sand, gravel, silt and clay on the terraces and floodplain, with sandy blow ground on the older terraces and till and loess uplands behind the bluff line.

The sandy ground drains fast. The floodplain barely drains at all, and spring snowmelt from the upper basin backs water up the tributary mouths long after local rain stops.

That matters under a base. Sandy ground shifts and floodplain ground holds water, so a pad or drive needs fill placed and built up before roadstone goes on top.

Winter brings repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives and river road surfaces each spring.

Low ground waits for the spring river crest before base goes in. Upland work follows the ordinary thaw to fall freeze pattern.
