Bulk Material Delivery in Spencer, SD

South Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Spencer, SD, and the yard hand on the other end talks tons, inches and base course, not catalog talk. Size your load with the calculator on each product page, then order by the ton or by the yard.

McCook County sits on the Southeastern till plains and Big Sioux valley, where silty prairie soil crusts over and sheds water instead of soaking it in. That is why so much of the work here starts with base course.

Materials for Spencer Projects

Washed stone is where a lot of Spencer drainage work begins. Water that sheets off crusted silt has to go somewhere, and clean stone gives it a place to travel.

Washed Rock is the Dakotas name for clean drainage stone. It goes into drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells, and it stays open because there are no fines to pack it shut.

#57 Stone, sold here as 1 inch washed rock, handles drainage beds and concrete aggregate where a bigger open void is wanted. #4 Crushed Stone is the 1 1/2 inch clean rock for heavy drainage, approaches and trench bottoms in wet ground.

For the structural side, and it is what South Dakota contractors order by for driveways, parking pads and shop slabs. Gravel Cushion rolls out as the cushion course under concrete and asphalt.

3/4 Quartzite is the pink Sioux Quartzite from the southeast corner, the hardest rock sold in this part of the state, and it works for drives, drainage beds and landscape stone.

Finer sizes finish the job. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints, and 3/8" Crushed Stone tops a compacted base or beds a pipe.

Ground and Conditions in Spencer

This part of South Dakota gets the longest working season in the state, running from the spring thaw into late fall. Wet spells shut it down, because silt soils turn too soft to compact.

Frost still goes deep and freeze-thaw heaves drives, walks and slabs every spring. The residential code adopted in Sioux Falls sets frost depth at 42 inches, and the local building official sets the figure in other towns.

Plan around the season when you time a delivery. Material that lands on soft ground in a wet spell is harder to work than the same load placed on dry ground.
