Crushed rock builds the base. Riprap and large river rock hold the banks and swale edges that summer storms cut into.
Order online, pick a delivery date, and a truck tips the load on site.
Materials for Arapahoe Projects
Start with the big stone when ground washes. Riprap is the armor for cut slopes, culvert outlets, pond edges and stream banks, and it is specified locally by Type A and Type B.
Large river rock covers dry creek beds, heavier decorative work and slope cover where a bigger rounded stone suits the ground. Both take the force of runoff so soil below stays put.
Step down in size for the everyday work. Crushed rock, also called crushed limestone, is the standard Nebraska base for drives, shed pads and the layer under pavers.
Crusher run, or crush and run, carries fines that bind and compact tight. Road gravel, which Nebraska yards and county road crews call surface gravel, is the graded material that goes on top of a drive or farm lane.
Clean stone handles water. 1 inch clean rock, sold as clean rock, feeds French drains and foundation drainage.
Screenings bed pavers and fill joints. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and pipe bedding.

Order online. Choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and each product page carries a calculator if you need to size the load.
Pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck arrives and tips the material in one pile on your site.
Have the drop spot clear before the truck rolls in, and make sure it can reach that spot loaded and pull out again.
Ground and Conditions in Arapahoe
The working season runs long here, with hot dry summers, hard winters and wind most of the year. Timing a delivery around the season keeps the work moving.
Ground in this part of the state is semi-arid and tight for most of the year, then sheds an intense summer thunderstorm almost entirely as runoff. That runoff cuts draws and canyon heads, and dry spring wind strips bare tableland.
Across the Southwest High Plains and the Republican valley, silt and sandy loam lie over caliche and sandstone. Water stalls on that layer, so drainage stone and slope armor do the work a base alone cannot.
Frost heave works on gravel drives through the thaw. The city or county building department sets the frost depth figure, because the Nebraska residential code leaves it for the jurisdiction to fill in.
Questions From Arapahoe Buyers
What stone should I use for drainage in Arapahoe?
Use clean, open stone that lets water through: 1 inch clean rock, sold locally as clean rock, for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Drain rock and 3/4 inch crushed stone also work in drainage beds and behind retaining walls.
Keep fines out of these, because a graded mix binds and holds water instead of passing it. Riprap and large river rock handle open channel banks and swale edges where the water moves fast.
What should I have ready when the truck arrives?
A clear, reachable spot for the pile. The truck tips the load in one place, so pick ground that can take the weight and leave room for the truck to pull away loaded.
Have your quantity settled before checkout, and choose your delivery date there. Keep gates open, vehicles moved and overhead lines clear along the route in.
