Customer Notes

“The back corner of our shop lot has flooded every spring because of how the ground slopes, so we finally ran a proper French drain this year, about seven tons of drain rock along sixty feet of pipe. Dug the trench ourselves over a couple weekends and had it delivered along the fence line where the truck could reach without crossing the gravel lot we just redid. Stone is clean, no fines washing into the pipe, and drains fast even during heavy spring storms. Only complaint is a handful of chunks were bigger than we expected and had to be set aside before use.”

“Four yards went into the beds around two rental units, ordered through Nebraska Rock Supply based on the online calculator to start. Ended up needing almost another yard to finish the back bed properly and had to call in a small top off order a few days later. Color and texture are great once it was all down, held through a couple of storms with no washing out.”

“Built a base for an equipment lot behind a repair shop where trucks and trailers sit overnight, about eighteen tons of railroad ballast spread over the worst quarter acre. Drains within minutes of even a heavy storm, better than the smaller stone we almost used instead. Compacted enough on its own from equipment driving over it that we never needed a roller. Only knock was the delivery running almost three hours past the window we were quoted, which had our crew standing around waiting on the first load. Six months of heavy trucks in and out and the lot hasn't developed a single soft spot.”

“We manage grounds for three properties on the south side and ordered through Nebraska Rock Supply three separate times this spring and summer for patio drainage bases, somewhere around twenty tons total across the jobs. Every delivery showed up inside the window and the drivers were good about spotting the tandem close to each patio so our crew wasn't hauling wheelbarrows across whole lawns. Stone has locked in solid at every site, no soft spots after the storms we've had. The one thing keeping this from a perfect score is the price crept up about eight dollars a ton between the first order and the third.”

“Five tons went into a pad behind the store where we park the delivery van, ordered through Nebraska Rock Supply. Compacted rock hard within a couple days and hasn't moved since even with the van driving over it daily. First load came in about half a ton light according to my own scale, which they made right on the next delivery without any hassle.”

“Used this for backfill and a French drain around a new garage foundation near the Platte, about seven tons total. The driver called ahead like he said he would, though he ended up almost two hours past the window because of a job ahead of ours. Stone itself compacted well and drains exactly like it should behind the wall. Would order the same stone again, just plan for the delay.”

“Nebraska Rock Supply's yard loaded six tons for a swale we built behind a new build near the river to carry runoff away from the foundation. Rock itself is exactly the right size for that kind of work, sits heavy and doesn't shift once it's placed. Only complaint was how much dust came off the load when it dumped, more than we expected from rock this size. Swale has handled every storm since without erosion.”

“Put three tons around the base of the run in shed to keep the mud down where the horses gather at feeding time. Best price of the three places I called out here near Sidney. Drains well and the horses don't track much into the shed anymore. Only thing is it's grayer than I pictured, not the tan I expected from the listing.”

“Ordered four tons of washed sand for a concrete pour on a small equipment pad, mixed on site with a rented mixer. Sand itself worked great, clean and consistent through every batch. Only hitch was the truck showed up nearly an hour before the window opened, and nobody was home yet to point the driver to the right spot, so it got dumped closer to the shed than we wanted.”

“Six tons went toward a rental property's drive, about two hundred feet of lane, which I thought would be plenty. Turned out I needed almost another ton to cover the last stretch by the road, so I had to place a second small order a few days later. Once it was all down it packed in nice and the tenants stopped complaining about the ruts.”

“Ordered five yards of top soil to level a low spot at the entrance before we reseeded for spring. Soil itself is fine, no rocks or debris to speak of. Only issue was the delivery window was supposed to be early morning and the truck showed up closer to noon, which pushed our landscaping crew's whole day back.”

“Two tons of river rock went into a bed around the back patio. Truck couldn't get past the gate into the backyard, so the driver dumped it in the driveway and we spent an afternoon wheelbarrowing it around back ourselves. Stone itself is exactly what we wanted, smooth and a nice mix of colors, and it's held its look through a full season of rain.”

“Two and a half tons came through Nebraska Rock Supply for a path connecting our clubhouse to the pool gate. Small enough underfoot that nobody complains barefoot in summer, and it drains fine after storms. Only thing keeping it from a perfect score is the color running more gray than the tan shown in the listing photos.”

“Filled three small raised beds at the daycare for a spring planting project with the kids, about a yard and a half total. Soil is rich and the seedlings took off fast once they went in. Only thing is it came in a bit heavier and more compact than we expected, which made it slower going for little hands with small shovels.”

“We mix our own concrete on smaller jobs out here in the Panhandle instead of ordering ready mix from Scottsbluff every time, and the number eight has worked into the batches clean for two pours now, a slab for a well house and a small pad for a propane tank. About four tons covered both jobs with some left in the pile for patchwork. Driver dumped it on plywood like we asked so it didn't churn up the yard, and the fines run low enough that we're not fighting extra water in the mix. Cured hard both times with no crumbling at the edges.”

“Used it under a deck for a client out near Chappell, about two tons spread over landscape fabric. Rounded and clean looking, no sharp edges to worry about with kids running around underneath. Told the client up front it needs real edging or it walks off into the yard, and sure enough a section without a border started spreading within a month.”

“Two tons went toward leveling the base under a new above ground pool before filling it with water. Screeded flat with a long board and it packed tight enough that the pool has stayed level all summer with no sinking on one side. First load arrived damp enough to clump a little, which slowed the screeding down some, but it dried out fine after a day.”

“Used it as base sand under a paver walkway for a client, about four tons figured off the calculator on the website. Compacted great and drains well once the pavers went down. Only annoyance was a fuel surcharge tacked onto the invoice at delivery that nobody mentioned when we placed the order, a few dollars a ton more than quoted.”

“Five tons of drain rock went around a French drain through Nebraska Rock Supply, wrapping a crawl space that had standing water every spring. Stone is clean and washed like they said, no fines clogging the pipe. First load showed up soaked from sitting out in the rain at the yard, which made it heavier to shovel than expected, but it drained the crawl space perfectly once it was in.”

“three tons topped off the ruts the plow left in our driveway this winter. locked in tight within a week of light traffic. haven't had to touch it since the thaw.”

“Spread five yards around the foundation beds on a new build before sod went down around it. Dark color and consistent size, easy to rake into place evenly. Only complaint was how much fine dust came off the pile when the wind picked up while we worked, more than the bagged stuff we're used to. Held its look through the first month just fine.”

“Used road base under a gravel turnaround for a new build on the edge of town, about sixteen tons spread over landscape fabric before the driveway gravel went on top. Compacted in three passes with a vibratory roller we rented for the day, and it locked up hard enough to drive the cement truck over two days later without leaving a mark. The only complaint is the delivery window was supposed to be morning and the truck didn't show until almost four in the afternoon, which pushed the whole crew's schedule for the day. Once it was down though, it performed exactly like it should through a rough spring.”

“Part of the lane out to the far pasture sits low enough that it holds water for weeks after a big snowmelt, and we lost a tire in the mud there more than once. Eight tons of railroad ballast fixed the worst thirty feet and it drains as fast as the snow can melt. Spring thaw came through hard this year and the spot never turned to soup once.”

“Our church group ordered three tons to firm up the drive between the fellowship hall and the parking lot before Easter. It arrived right on schedule and the men's group spread it in one Saturday morning. Drains well after the spring downpours we've had and nobody's complained about puddles at drop off since.”

“Redid the base under our gravel driveway apron, about six tons spread over the worst stretch near the road. Compacted beautifully with a rented plate tamper, tighter than the old base ever was. Only issue was how much dust kicked up loading it into the wheelbarrow, had everyone in the yard coughing. Holding up fine through a wet spring so far.”

“Filled in a section of yard where an old shed used to sit, about four yards to bring it level with the rest of the lawn. Graded easily with a rake once it was spread out. Only thing was a few big clay clumps mixed in that took extra work to break up before seeding. Grass has filled in nicely since.”

“Three tons filled the gully the snowmelt cut along our gravel lane. The neighbor's grandson spread it with his tractor bucket in an afternoon. Six weeks of freeze and thaw since and it hasn't budged.”

“Two tons for a border along the flower bed by the mailbox. Most pieces were the size I wanted, but a few were closer to boulders and had to go elsewhere in the yard. Looks great once it was all placed.”

“The fourth grade class helped lay a small paver path to the school garden, and we used a ton and a half of 89 stone for bedding under the pavers. Screeded smooth with a two by four and the pavers sat level on the first try. Kids have been walking it daily since spring with no shifting so far.”

“Three tons of screenings came through Nebraska Rock Supply for a shed pad we poured a slab over later. Packs in tight and screeds level fast, made the whole job go quicker than expected. Only issue was the truck couldn't get down our narrow drive and had to dump it by the road, so we spent an extra hour wheelbarrowing it back to the pad.”

“Needed a short path from the driveway to the side door of the machine shed so we'd stop tracking mud into the house every time it rained. A ton and a half did the whole stretch with a little extra for a border. Packed in fine with foot traffic alone within a couple weeks and hasn't washed out through two decent storms.”

“Two tons filled the potholes by the garage that formed after the ice storms this winter. Raked it level myself in about an hour. Driveway hasn't shown a dip since, even with the mail truck turning around on it daily.”

“Two yards topped off bare patches around the new well house. Raked it level and seeded the same day. Grass filled in thick within a month of steady rain.”

“The low spot by the corral gate turned into a skating rink every time it snowed and melted. Four tons of fifty seven filled it above grade and the extra height has kept water from pooling since. Neighbor with the skid steer helped level it in under an hour. Cheaper than what the co-op in town wanted for half as much.”

“The bank along our stretch of the creek has been sliding into the water a little more every spring since the flood a few years back, and it finally got bad enough to lose part of the fence line. Ordered ten tons of riprap to armor the worst hundred feet and stacked it two layers deep with the loader, working from the flattest spot down toward the water. Held through one big spring runoff already without a single rock shifting out of place. Only issue is we ended up needing almost three more tons to finish the last stretch, which meant a second delivery before the job was done.”

“Put down two tons around a new fire pit patio out back, sized just right for sitting close to the flames without it being sharp on bare feet. Set steel edging around the whole thing first, which the crew at the yard recommended when I picked it up. Six months in through wind and a couple snowstorms and it's stayed exactly where we put it.”

“Bedded a small paver patio off the back porch with washed sand, half a ton total. Sand itself worked fine, but it's noticeably grey against the light tan pavers where it peeks up between the joints.”

“Needed something for the chicken run out behind the barn that wouldn't turn to muck when the snow melts off the Sandhills in a hurry. Two tons spread over about two hundred square feet did it. Birds don't track mud into the coop anymore and it's held up fine through a full winter of freezing and thawing without settling unevenly.”

“one ton dressed up the flower beds along the front walk. smooth and rounded, nice to handle without gloves. still looks clean after a full year of mowing dust settling on it.”

“Put down six tons under a concrete patio slab for a customer outside Wahoo, tamped in two lifts before the forms went up. Locks together tight enough that the crew could walk on it the next morning without leaving boot prints. Slab poured clean with no settling issues since, even after a wet fall.”

“one ton went into the chicken run behind the coop. packs down tight enough the birds don't dig it up. dry even after last week's heavy rain.”

“A client near Wood River had potholes deep enough to lose a hubcap in, so we brought in seven tons of driveway gravel through Nebraska Rock Supply to regrade the whole thing. Spread it with the skid steer in about three hours and rolled it with the tractor tires afterward. Client called two months later just to say it still looks freshly done after a couple of good rains.”

“Mulched the tree rings and border beds for a client's whole front yard, about six yards spread across a dozen trees and two long flower beds along the driveway. Client wanted something that would hold moisture through the dry stretch we usually get in late July and August without turning gray and faded by mid season. Laid it about three inches deep and kept it off the trunks themselves so it wouldn't hold rot against the bark. Through the driest six weeks of summer the beds underneath stayed noticeably cooler and damper than the bare dirt nearby, and the color held dark well into September.”

“Put in a small path around the daycare's outdoor play area, about three tons of the number eight for a smooth surface little feet wouldn't trip on. Works great and drains fast after rain. Ended up needing one more ton than the online calculator said to finish the last stretch by the fence, but otherwise no complaints.”

“Our rental property backs up to a small creek that kept eating away at the bank a little more every year. Brought in six tons of riprap and stacked it along the worst forty feet with help from a neighbor's skid steer. A full year through spring floods and it hasn't budged an inch, and the yard behind the house isn't shrinking anymore.”

“Laid a ton and a half over base rock for a garden path client wanted between the patio and the shed. Small enough to be comfortable barefoot, which was the whole point since her grandkids run around out there all summer. Compacted nicely with hand tamping, no rolling equipment needed. Held its color through a full season of mowing dust settling on it.”

“Our lawn had low spots that collected water every spring for as long as we've lived here, so we finally ordered four yards of top soil through Nebraska Rock Supply to level it out. Spread it with a wheelbarrow and rake over a weekend, my husband handling the heavy pushing and me raking it smooth. Yard drains evenly now and the mower doesn't scalp the high spots anymore either.”

“Put ten tons of road base into two soft spots by the bin approach before harvest traffic started. Graded smooth with a drag behind the four wheeler. Held together through a wet November without a single soft spot.”

“Needed a pad for a new machine shed at the shop, about nine tons of the sixty seven. Driver spotted the tandem exactly where our forklift needed clearance, which saved us from moving it twice. Compacted hard in one pass with the plate tamper. Six months of loading pallets on and off and it hasn't shifted an inch.”

“two tons went into a dry well at the low corner of the yard where water always collected. dug it out myself over a weekend. yard hasn't puddled once since, even after a long soaking rain in october.”

“The north side of the house never dries out, shaded most of the day and always damp along the foundation. Two tons of number 89 fixed the drainage strip, and the Nebraska Rock Supply driver even swept the walk after.”

“Six tons went down on the worst stretch of farm road through the low pasture that always held water. Drains almost the second it stops raining. Truck hasn't gotten stuck there once since it went in.”

“A ton and a half went into a dog run along the side of the garage, ordered through Nebraska Rock Supply. Rounded and smooth enough that our lab doesn't mind laying on it, unlike the sharp stuff a neighbor used. We set treated edging first like the description suggested and it hasn't wandered onto the lawn at all since spring.”

“We redid the base under the horse arena before winter set in, about eighteen tons spread over the existing sand. Nebraska Rock Supply quoted less than the place in North Platte and had it out within the week we asked for. The tri-axle dumped along the fence line in three spots so we could spread evenly with the tractor blade instead of wheelbarrows. Water that used to sit in the low corner after chores now drains off within an hour, and the footing underneath finally feels solid instead of spongy when the ground thaws.”

“Took on a lot near Adams for a new build where drainage ran the wrong way, toward the house instead of away from it. Nebraska Rock Supply hauled in twenty two yards of fill dirt over four loads, and we spread and graded it with a small dozer over two days, building the slope away from the foundation. Compacted it in stages as we went, which mattered once the heavy equipment started rolling over it for the pour. Six months later through a wet spring the pad hasn't settled and water runs exactly where it should.”

“Not as quick as I used to be, so the paver patio off the back porch took me three afternoons instead of one. My grandson helped haul the gravel sand in buckets from the driveway while I screeded and tamped by hand. Porch looks out over the garden now instead of bare dirt, and the pavers are still flat and tight after a full winter of grandkids running across them.”

“The corner where the lane meets the county road always turned to muck once harvest trucks started running through it every fall. Nebraska Rock Supply brought out eighteen tons of crusher run and the tri-axle dumped it in three passes so we could spread it with the loader before the next rain hit. Took a day to compact it right with the tractor tires driving over it repeatedly, but it set up hard within a week. A full harvest season of grain trucks later and the corner holds firm even after three inches of rain in September.”

“Spent most of September repointing brick on an old building downtown, and Nebraska Rock Supply supplied the mason sand for the whole job in three separate deliveries as we worked through different sections of the wall. About a ton and a half total across all three orders, and every load matched the last one in color and fineness, which mattered since we were blending new mortar into decades old brick and couldn't afford it to look patched. Set up consistent every single batch, no clumping, no debris to screen out first. Building's been through one hard winter since and the new mortar joints look exactly like the old ones around them.”

“Ordered fifteen tons for a parking pad behind the shop off Highway 30. The driver placed it in two piles exactly where I flagged, no argument about the tight turn near the fence. Compacted it in two passes and it's carried a loaded gooseneck trailer all summer without rutting. Better price per ton than the quarry south of town quoted me in June.”

“Used four tons to border the edge of the stock pond where the bank kept slumping into the water. Stacked the bigger pieces two deep along the worst stretch with a little help from my son in law. Bank has held through spring runoff and the cattle walking down to drink haven't torn it up at all.”
