Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Kimball, SD

South Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kimball, SD, by the ton or by the yard. Start with the calculator on each product page, then pick your material.

Base course is the crushed layer most drives and pads here begin with.

This is hummocky ground, a jumble of knobs and closed kettles in stony glacial till. Water has nowhere to run, so the coarse stone you set on a slope or a swale does real work.

Materials for Kimball Projects

Coarse stone is the first thing to think about on a slope, a swale or a bank. Water that leaves a kettle has to go somewhere, and a rock that will not move is what holds the line.

Riprap is the heavy end of that work.

Set it at culvert outlets, dam faces, stock dam spillways and stream banks. It also holds reservoir shoreline where wave action pulls at the bank.

#4 Crushed Stone, the 1 1/2 inch clean rock, is a step down in size. It suits heavy drainage, approaches, construction entrances and trench bottoms in wet ground.

Railroad Ballast is the large angular rock for track beds, heavy equipment hard standing and severe drainage. Where a big open stone is needed, this is the one.

Large River Rock handles dry creek beds, draw bottoms and heavier decorative and erosion work. It reads as landscape stone and still takes the flow.

It goes under driveways, parking pads and shop or shed slabs.

Washed Rock is the clean drainage stone for drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells. Clean means no fines to slow the water down.

Ground and Conditions in Kimball

The working season is short, running between the spring thaw and freeze-up. Wind and drifting stay a factor well into spring and again from late fall.

Across the Missouri Coteau, water has nowhere to run. The kettles and sloughs are closed basins, and the shale under the till stops what does soak through, so low ground stays saturated.

That is why a swale, a culvert outlet or a low bank needs coarse stone rather than a fines-bearing material. Wind scour on the open knobs and runoff on the steeper slopes both move loose ground.

Winters are long, cold and windy, with heavy drifting and hard freeze-thaw cycling on exposed ground. Frost depth is commonly 42 to 48 inches, with the deeper figure used in the northern counties.

There is no statewide figure, and the local building official sets it. Plan your excavation and your timing around that, not around a number pulled from another county.

Questions from Kimball Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Kimball?

Washed Rock is the clean choice for drain tile, drywells and downspout runs. For heavier flow, #4 Crushed Stone or Railroad Ballast gives you a large angular rock that will not pack tight.

Riprap is for culvert outlets, spillways and banks where the water arrives with force.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, reachable spot for the pile, and a clear path for the truck to get in and back out. The load is tipped in one pile, so the ground you choose is where it stays.

Have your quantity settled before the delivery date you picked at checkout.
