Crushed Stone and Gravel Products
Crushed stone remains the backbone of most construction and improvement projects in Nevada. Our 3/4 inch crushed stone delivers excellent compaction and drainage for driveways, parking areas, and foundation work throughout the Lincoln Highway District and beyond. This versatile aggregate creates stable surfaces that resist rutting even under heavy vehicle traffic.
For projects requiring superior drainage capabilities, our #57 stone provides the perfect solution. This angular aggregate allows water to flow freely, making it ideal for French drains and drainage systems around Nevada homes dealing with Iowa's significant annual rainfall of approximately 34 inches.
- Crushed stone aggregates for driveways, foundations, and parking areas

Property owners in the Indian Village neighborhood and surrounding residential areas often choose our driveway gravel for its combination of affordability and performance. This aggregate blend compacts into a smooth, stable surface that handles Iowa weather conditions admirably while maintaining excellent curb appeal.
Specialty Aggregates for Nevada Projects
Beyond standard crushed stone, we offer specialty aggregates tailored to specific applications. Our crusher run contains a mix of stone sizes and fine particles that compact into an incredibly solid base layer. This material proves essential for building stable foundations under patios, sheds, and outbuildings common on Nevada properties.
For pathway construction in gardens and parks, our walkway gravel creates comfortable, attractive walking surfaces. Many homeowners near DMACC Story County Center and the residential areas along 6th Street appreciate how this aggregate enhances outdoor living spaces while remaining easy to maintain.
Infrastructure projects throughout Story County rely on our road base material for creating stable foundations. This compactable aggregate forms the essential layer beneath driveways, parking lots, and private roads, ensuring surfaces remain level and functional for years despite heavy use and weather exposure.
Drainage Solutions for Nevada Properties
Iowa's clay-heavy soils present significant drainage challenges for Nevada homeowners. The glacial till underlying much of Story County compacts easily and resists water infiltration, leading to standing water and soggy yards after rainfall. Proper drainage aggregate installation helps direct water away from foundations and prevents the basement flooding issues common in older Nevada homes.
Our drain rock is specifically sized for optimal water flow in French drains, sump pump discharge areas, and foundation perimeter drains. Properties in lower-lying areas near Indian Creek particularly benefit from properly installed drainage systems using quality aggregate materials.
The seasonal variations in Nevada create specific drainage concerns. Spring snowmelt combined with April showers can overwhelm poorly designed drainage systems. Installing adequate drain rock around your foundation before these wet periods helps protect your investment and keeps basements dry throughout the year.
Recommended Drainage Applications
- French drain systems directing groundwater away from structures
- Downspout dispersal areas preventing erosion and pooling
- Foundation perimeter drains protecting basement walls
- Dry creek beds managing surface water flow attractively
- Retaining wall backfill ensuring proper drainage behind structures
Decorative Stone and Gravel for Nevada Landscapes
Creating beautiful outdoor spaces in Nevada requires materials that complement both the natural prairie surroundings and your home's architecture. Our decorative aggregates add visual interest while providing practical benefits like weed suppression and moisture retention in planting beds.
The smooth, rounded stones in our river rock collection bring a natural aesthetic to gardens and water features throughout Nevada. Available in multiple sizes, this aggregate works beautifully in dry creek beds, as mulch alternatives around trees, and in decorative borders along driveways in neighborhoods like those near Story County Medical Center.
Our pea gravel remains a favorite among Nevada homeowners for its versatility and gentle appearance. This small, rounded aggregate creates comfortable walking surfaces, fills gaps between stepping stones, and provides attractive ground cover in garden areas. The smooth texture makes it particularly popular for pathways and seating areas in backyards throughout the community.
For a more refined aesthetic, our decomposed granite offers a distinctive appearance that complements both traditional and contemporary design styles. This material compacts into a firm surface while maintaining excellent drainage, making it perfect for patios and entertainment areas.
Topsoil and Fill Dirt for Nevada Gardens
Despite Iowa's reputation for fertile farmland, many Nevada residential properties have soil that needs improvement for optimal plant growth. Construction activities, soil compaction, and erosion can leave yards with poor-quality dirt that struggles to support healthy lawns and gardens.
Our premium topsoil helps Nevada homeowners establish lush lawns and productive gardens. This nutrient-rich soil provides the foundation plants need to thrive in central Iowa's continental climate. Many residents in established neighborhoods near downtown find that adding quality topsoil transforms struggling lawns into verdant green spaces.
For grading projects and filling low spots, our fill dirt provides an economical solution. This material works well for raising grade levels, filling holes, and creating proper slopes for drainage away from foundations. Properties throughout Nevada benefit from proper grading that directs water away from structures.
Common Soil Applications in Nevada
- Lawn establishment over new construction or renovation areas
- Garden bed preparation for vegetables, flowers, and shrubs
- Grade correction eliminating low spots that collect water
- Foundation backfill creating proper slopes away from structures

Crushed concrete works particularly well for base layers, temporary construction roads, and rural driveway applications common on properties surrounding Nevada. This recycled aggregate compacts solidly and provides excellent drainage, making it a practical choice for environmentally conscious Story County property owners.
Using recycled aggregates supports local sustainability efforts and reduces the demand for newly quarried materials. Many commercial property owners and municipalities throughout central Iowa have embraced recycled aggregates as both an economical and ecological choice for infrastructure projects.

Aggregates Built for Iowa Weather
Central Iowa's continental climate demands materials that perform through extreme conditions. Nevada experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures reaching the upper 80s and cold winters where temperatures regularly drop below zero. Annual snowfall averages around 35 inches, creating significant freeze-thaw stress on outdoor surfaces.
The aggregates we supply to Nevada customers are selected for their ability to handle these conditions. Angular crushed stone resists frost heaving better than rounded materials, while proper drainage aggregates prevent water accumulation that leads to ice damage during winter months.
Story County's glacially-derived soils present additional challenges. The clay content common in local soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, causing movement that can crack poorly installed surfaces. Proper aggregate base layers help isolate finished surfaces from this soil movement, extending the life of driveways and patios throughout Nevada.
