Bulk Aggregates near Saint Louis, MO, 63115

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Use a compactable base like #304 limestone for long-lasting support. A top layer of clean gravel can improve appearance and drainage.
• Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone such as #57 around foundations or in french drains. Fines in crusher run can clog and trap water.
• Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of #304 or coarse sand, then set pavers with concrete sand for stable joints.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Apply brown decorative stone for weed suppression or organic mulch and screened topsoil for new plantings.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 63115 covers a mix of older built-up city lots and newer subdivisions. Many properties have compacted clay or silty soils that drain slowly after heavy rain.

Winter freeze-thaw cycles can heave poorly compacted driveways, so a proper base is essential. Summer heat dries fast-draining sandy patches quickly.

Neighborhoods in flatter parts may need extra attention to water runoff, while slightly sloping areas benefit from clean stone to manage drainage.
