What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable so the truck can back in and tip the load. A dump truck tips in one pile, so pick a spot that keeps the material out of the way of traffic. Confirm your quantity is right before the date, since the load comes as one drop. That is all that is needed on your end.

What is the best base under pavers in Boelus?

Crushed rock is the base most paver work starts from. It is the standard Nebraska base material. Compact it, then bed the pavers in stone screenings, which are limestone screenings and fines. The screenings level the surface and fill the joints so the pavers sit even.

How is the material measured?

You can order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever suits how you plan the job. If you tell us the area you are covering and the depth you want, we will work the quantity out with you rather than leaving you to guess.

Start with crushed rock, the base course this part of Nebraska builds on. Across the Central Loess Hills and the Loup valleys, the ground under a drive changes fast from silt to sand.

Ground and Conditions in Boelus

A thin base fails here in a hurry. Silt sheds water and rills quickly, so runoff cuts under a shallow layer and the surface starts to rut and pothole.

Sandy valley floors drain fast and sit close to the water table. On the same property you can have both problems within a few hundred feet.

The fix is a compacted base that carries the load and moves water off the surface. Get that layer right and the finish course has something to sit on.

Base and drive work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn. The heaviest rain lands in late spring and early summer, and the ground stays hard through the winter.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing. Frost heave in gravel drives and farm lanes shows up as the ground thaws in spring, and the city or county building department sets the frost depth for its jurisdiction.

Materials for Boelus Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work around a yard. They bed pavers, fill joints and top a compacted base to a smooth, walkable finish.

Screenings for paths and walkways

Stone Screenings are limestone screenings, also called fines. Rake them over a compacted base to level a path or set flagstone and pavers.

3/8" Crushed Stone is sold here as 3/8 inch chips. Chips top a compacted base, fill paver joints and handle fine drainage.

Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a finer, walkable surface than a drive. Stone Screenings often sit under it.

The base and drive materials

Crushed Rock Base is the standard Nebraska base material. It goes under driveways, parking areas, shed and slab bases, and the compacted layer beneath pavers.

Crusher Run, also called crush and run or 3/4 inch minus, carries fines so it binds and compacts tight on drives, pads and base work.

Driveway Gravel is the road gravel or surface gravel that goes on top of a drive, farm lane or county road surface.

Drainage and decorative work round out a project. 1 Inch Clean Rock, called clean rock or #57 stone, suits French drains, foundation drainage and drive surfacing.

Riprap arms stream banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and cut slopes against runoff and bank scour. River Rock covers decorative beds and dry creek beds.
