Gravel Monkey offers Mission homeowners and contractors a comprehensive range of stone and aggregate products. Whether you're building a new driveway in the East Mission neighborhood or installing drainage near Broadmoor Park, we have the right materials for your specific application.
Crushed Stone Products
Crushed stone remains one of the most versatile aggregates for construction and landscaping projects throughout Mission. Our 3/4 inch crushed stone provides an ideal balance of stability and drainage, making it perfect for driveways and base layers. The angular edges of crushed stone lock together when compacted, creating a solid surface that resists shifting under vehicle weight.
For projects requiring different specifications, we also supply #57 stone, a popular choice among contractors in the Kansas City area. This aggregate excels in drainage applications and as a decorative stone around foundations. Mission's clay-heavy soils, common throughout Johnson County, benefit tremendously from the superior drainage properties these crushed stone products provide.
Driveway and Pathway Materials
Creating a durable driveway in Mission requires materials that can handle both daily traffic and seasonal weather extremes. Our driveway gravel is specifically selected for durability and compaction, providing a solid driving surface that drains quickly after Kansas thunderstorms. Many homeowners along Foxridge Drive and throughout the Rushton neighborhood have transformed their properties with our premium driveway aggregates.
Walkways and garden paths throughout Mission benefit from our specialized walkway gravel, which offers a comfortable surface underfoot while maintaining excellent drainage. This material is particularly popular in the historic areas near Downtown Mission, where residents appreciate its classic appearance and low maintenance requirements.
For a more natural aesthetic, decomposed granite creates stunning pathways and patio surfaces. This finely crushed material compacts into a firm yet permeable surface, perfect for the garden areas surrounding Mission's many beautiful homes. The earthy tones complement both traditional and contemporary landscaping designs.
Decorative Stone Options
Transform your Mission property with our selection of decorative aggregates. River rock adds natural beauty to flower beds, water features, and border areas. Available in various sizes, these smooth, rounded stones create visual interest while suppressing weeds and retaining soil moisture during hot Kansas summers.
Pea gravel offers a versatile decorative option that works beautifully in Mission yards. Its smooth texture makes it comfortable for barefoot areas around pools and patios, while the natural colors blend seamlessly with any landscaping style. Homeowners near Andover Park frequently choose pea gravel for its child-friendly properties and attractive appearance.
Construction and Base Aggregates
Professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts throughout Mission rely on our construction-grade aggregates for demanding projects. Understanding the specific soil conditions in Johnson County helps ensure successful installations that last for decades.
Base and Foundation Materials
Every successful construction project starts with a solid foundation. Our crusher run provides the perfect base material for driveways, patios, and building pads. This well-graded mixture of crushed stone and fine particles compacts tightly, creating an extremely stable surface. The material is essential for Mission properties, where proper base preparation prevents settling and cracking.
Road base aggregate offers similar properties with specifications designed for high-traffic applications. Commercial properties along Shawnee Mission Parkway and Metcalf Avenue benefit from this durable material, which provides lasting performance under heavy vehicle loads.
For budget-conscious projects that still require solid performance, crushed concrete delivers excellent value. This recycled material compacts well and provides adequate drainage while keeping costs manageable. Many Mission homeowners choose crushed concrete for utility areas and temporary surfaces.
Drainage Solutions
Mission's location in the Kansas River watershed, combined with the region's clay-rich soils, makes proper drainage essential for protecting your property. Drain rock is specifically sized to allow rapid water flow in French drains, foundation drains, and other water management systems. Installing proper drainage prevents basement flooding and protects foundations from water damage during spring rains and summer storms.
The heavy clay soils common throughout the Westgate and Nall Hills neighborhoods require careful attention to water management. Our drainage aggregates work with the soil conditions rather than against them, channeling water away from structures and preventing erosion.
Soil Products for Mission Gardens and Lawns
Beautiful lawns and productive gardens require quality soil products. Mission's growing season, spanning from late April through October, provides ample opportunity for outdoor projects when you have the right materials.
Topsoil forms the foundation of healthy lawns and gardens throughout Mission. Our screened topsoil is free of debris and weed seeds, providing an ideal growing medium for grass, flowers, and vegetables. Properties near the Mission Creek Trail area often need soil amendments due to the disturbed nature of developed land, and quality topsoil helps restore natural growing conditions.
Fill dirt serves essential purposes in grading and construction projects. Whether you're leveling a backyard in the Countryside neighborhood or preparing a building site, our fill dirt provides the volume you need at an affordable price. Proper grading ensures water drains away from structures, protecting foundations and preventing moisture problems.
Sand Products for Every Application
From construction to recreation, Gravel Monkey supplies Mission with a complete range of sand products designed for specific applications.
Mason sand provides the fine, consistent texture needed for masonry work, paver installation, and sandbox filling. This washed sand is free of debris and sized perfectly for mixing with mortar or creating a leveling bed beneath pavers. Contractors working on projects along Johnson Drive appreciate the quality and consistency of our mason sand.
For playgrounds and recreational areas, playground sand offers a safe, clean surface for children. Mission's numerous parks and residential play areas benefit from this specially processed sand, which meets safety standards while providing soft landings and fun play opportunities.
Washed sand serves multiple purposes in construction and landscaping. This versatile material works well for concrete mixing, pipe bedding, and general fill applications. The washing process removes clay and silt, ensuring clean material that drains well and provides consistent performance.

Understanding Mission's Soil and Climate
Successful projects in Mission require an understanding of local conditions. The region sits atop glacial deposits and limestone bedrock, with surface soils predominantly composed of clay loam. This clay content creates challenges for drainage and can cause soil expansion during wet periods followed by contraction during dry spells.
Mission receives approximately 42 inches of rainfall annually, with the heaviest precipitation occurring from April through June. Summer thunderstorms can dump several inches of rain in short periods, making proper drainage essential for protecting structures and preventing erosion. Our aggregates are selected to perform in these demanding conditions.
The freeze-thaw cycles common to Kansas winters stress all outdoor materials. Temperatures may fluctuate from above freezing to below zero within days, causing expansion and contraction that can crack improperly selected materials. Our crushed stone and gravel products resist this stress, maintaining their integrity through multiple winter seasons.
Project Planning Tips for Mission Properties
Planning your aggregate project properly ensures success and longevity. Consider these recommendations based on local conditions:
- Add drainage layers beneath driveways and patios to manage clay soil moisture
- Install French drains near foundations to redirect water away from structures
- Use compactable base materials like crusher run before installing final surface aggregates
- Plan for seasonal timing with major installations between April and October
- Consider slope and grading to ensure water moves away from buildings
- Layer materials properly with larger aggregates below finer materials on top
Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel in Mission
For Mission driveways, we recommend starting with a base layer of crusher run compacted firmly, followed by a surface layer of 3/4 inch crushed stone. This combination provides excellent durability, proper drainage, and resistance to the freeze-thaw cycles common in Kansas. The angular crushed stone locks together under traffic, preventing rutting and displacement.
Johnson County's clay-heavy soils require specific drainage strategies. We recommend drain rock for French drain installations around foundations and low-lying areas. The large aggregate size allows water to flow freely while the surrounding clay stays separated. Combining proper drainage aggregate with landscape fabric prevents clogging and ensures long-term performance.
Calculate your needs by measuring the length, width, and desired depth of your project area. For driveways, plan on 3 to 4 inches of base material plus 2 to 3 inches of surface aggregate. Our team can help you calculate exact quantities based on your specific measurements and project requirements.
Yes, we provide free delivery to every neighborhood in Mission, from Downtown Mission and East Mission to Westgate and all surrounding areas. We also deliver throughout Johnson County including Overland Park, Prairie Village, Shawnee, and Leawood at no additional delivery charge.
Crusher run contains a mixture of crushed stone and fine particles that compact tightly together, making it ideal for base layers and foundations. Regular crushed stone consists only of uniform-sized pieces without fines, providing better drainage but less compaction. Most Mission projects use both materials in layers.
The optimal installation window runs from late April through October when ground conditions are stable and temperatures support proper compaction. Avoid major installations during the wettest spring months or when ground is frozen. Fall installations before first freeze work well for many Mission projects.
Absolutely! Crushed concrete provides an economical and environmentally friendly option for many applications.
