Crushed Rock, Sand and Gravel Delivery in Chase County, NE
Nebraska Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Chase County, NE. Crushed rock is the base material most of this part of the state is built on, and it is what a driveway, a shed pad or a paver base starts with.
Across the Southwest High Plains and the Republican valley, the ground is flat tableland with silt and sandy loam over caliche and sandstone. A base has to bridge that ground before anything goes on top of it.
Ground Conditions Across Chase County
This corner of Nebraska is semi-arid ground. It stays hard and tight for most of the year, then sheds a summer thunderstorm almost entirely as runoff into the draws and canyons.
That runoff cuts draws and canyon heads after storms, and dry spring wind moves bare tableland soil. A drive or pad that sits on disturbed silt and sandy loam can lose its shape from either direction.
Winters are cold and dry with hard freezes and wide swings between day and night. Frost heave works on gravel drives through the thaw.
Frost depth is commonly 48 to 60 inches, and the county building department sets the figure because the Nebraska residential code leaves the frost line depth for the jurisdiction to fill in.
Work runs long here, with hot dry summers, hard winters and high wind most of the year. The heaviest rain comes in short summer storms, so grading and drainage matter more than the calendar.
Materials Delivered in Chase County
Order by the job. A driveway, a patio and a French drain each want a different stone, and the local name for each one is the fastest way to get the right material.
Crushed rock, also called crushed rock base or crushed limestone, is the standard Nebraska base material.
Use it under drives, parking areas, shed and slab bases, and the compacted layer beneath pavers.
Crusher run, sold as crush and run or 3/4 inch minus, is a graded mix with fines. It binds and compacts tight, which suits drives, pads and base work.
Road gravel, also called surface gravel or gravel surfacing, is the graded gravel that goes on top of a drive, farm lane or county road surface. Nebraska yards and road departments say road gravel rather than driveway gravel.
Choosing the Right Material
Perkins County, Dundy County and Hayes County all sit on the same Southwest High Plains and Republican valley ground as Chase County. Flat Ogallala tableland with silt and sandy loam over caliche and sandstone, cut by the canyons of the Republican, Frenchman and Medicine Creek, with sand and gravel in the valley floors.
The ground is the same, so the base and drainage choices are the same.
Start with what the surface has to do. A drive wants crusher run or crushed rock underneath and road gravel on top.
A patio wants crushed rock, then screenings for bedding.
Anything that has to move water wants clean, open stone. Use 3/4 inch rock, 1 inch clean rock or drain rock for French drains, drywells and foundation drains.
Where runoff hits a bank or an outlet, use rip rap to armor it. For beds and borders, river rock and large river rock cover ground and splash areas.
Soil and sand round out a job. Topsoil, garden soil, fill dirt and mason sand handle grading, planting and masonry work.
