Bulk Aggregates near Saint Louis, MO, 63138

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run works well as a compacted base layer. A top coat of clean stone like #57 can finish the surface.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone (#57 or #8) allows water to flow freely. Avoid crusher run near foundations where fines can hold moisture.
• Patios and walkways: Use a base of crusher run or #57 stone, then a layer of sand or stone dust for setting pavers.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Topsoil builds healthy plant beds, while screened mulch suppresses weeds and retains moisture.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 63138 in Saint Louis includes older built-up subdivisions and newer developments. Many properties have compact clay soils that drain slowly after heavy rain.

Sloped lots in the area may require extra attention to base compaction for driveways and patios. Flat sections often need raised beds or drainage stone to avoid standing water.

Freeze-thaw cycles typical of Missouri winters make angular crushed stone a better choice than rounded gravel for driveways and base layers, as it locks together and resists shifting.
