3/8 Inch Crushed Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Lemmon, SD

South Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lemmon, SD, by the ton or by the yard. Start with base course when you are building a drive, a parking pad or a shop slab.

Then look at the water. Tight shale clay sheds runoff instead of soaking it in, so most sites here need a place for that water to go.

Materials for Lemmon Projects

Washed stone is the answer to tight ground. It is clean, open and free of fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting against a foundation or a slab edge.

Set a Washed Rock bed under a downspout run and the roof water leaves the wall. Use the same stone in a drywell, a sump pit or a French drain trench.

Size drives it. Coarse stone carries the most water and the heaviest loads, and finer stone beds and tops.

For the drive itself, Base Course is the crushed base layer. Roll Gravel Cushion out as the top course on a gravel drive or under concrete and asphalt.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and Top Soil builds a growing layer where the native ground is clay or sandstone.

Delivery to Lemmon and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your delivery date at checkout. Quantities go by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load.

A dump truck tips the load in one pile at the address you give. Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives, because the driver does not spread or place material.

Coverage runs across Lemmon and Perkins County, including Bison, Meadow, Lodgepole and Prairie City.

Ground and Conditions in Lemmon

Across the Northwestern plateaus and buttes, the working season is short and the hauls are long. Clay flats are unworkable when wet, and the wind dries them out quickly once the rain stops.

That timing matters more than the material choice on some jobs. Book a date when the ground will hold a truck, and the pile lands where you want it.

Water is the other half of it. Long distances between drainages mean spring runoff fills the draws fast and leaves them dry for weeks, so drainage stone has to handle both ends of that swing.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Gullies cut into soft shale, sandstone rims undercut, and bare clay and loose sand move in the wind.

Clean stone in a drain run and riprap at an outlet both slow that down.

Winters here are the most exposed in the state, with deep frost, high wind and repeated freeze-thaw on bare clay. Frost depth is set by the local building official, and no single figure covers the state.

Base course is the crushed base layer for a drive. Gravel Cushion works as the top course on a gravel drive.
