Mason Sand for Patios in Bonesteel, SD

Planning a patio, a paver walk, or a shop slab and need gravel and aggregate delivery in Bonesteel, SD? South Dakota Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard and delivers it across town.

Most flatwork here starts with base course, the crushed base layer South Dakota contractors order by name. What goes on top of it decides how the surface looks in five years.

Ground and Conditions in Bonesteel

Bonesteel sits in Gregory County, on the Pierre shale plains and Missouri breaks side of the state. Under a thin clay soil is weathered Pierre shale, the sticky swelling clay everyone calls gumbo.

Gumbo sheds water instead of taking it in. Rain runs straight off, and what does soak in makes the clay swell and stay soft.

A paver patio bedded on a thin base shows the failure fast. The surface rocks, joints open, and the edges drop as the ground moves under the load.

The fix is a real base course layer below the bedding, not sand alone. Base course spreads the load and holds a stable platform through the wet cycles.

How wet the gumbo is matters more than the calendar here. The ground is unworkable while it is wet, and the working season runs from the spring dry-out to freeze-up.

Winters are cold, open and windy, with deep frost and hard freeze-thaw cycling. Drives heave, then turn soft when the frost comes out.

Materials for Bonesteel Projects

Bedding is the layer that makes pavers and flatwork sit flat and stay put. South Dakota Rock Supply carries the materials that go under and around that work.

Bedding and Base

Mason Sand is the standard bedding for brick, block and paver work, and it doubles as joint sand. It packs smooth and lets you set units to a consistent grade.

Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, is a coarser bedding and leveling sand. It mixes into tight clay ground to loosen it before a base goes down.

Base Course, also called aggregate base course or 3/4 minus, is the crushed base layer under drives, parking pads and shop slabs.

Gravel Cushion is the cushion course rolled out under concrete and asphalt. It is also the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

Stone Screenings, also called chips and dust, bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them. The fines lock up and give a walk a hard-packing top.

Stone, Drainage and Finish

Washed Rock is clean drainage stone for drain tile, drywells and downspout runs. 3/8" Crushed Stone tops a compacted base and beds pipe.

Top Soil and Garden Soil rebuild a growing layer over stony ground and fill raised beds. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through a dry, windy summer.
