Start with Class 5, the standard Minnesota base course. It carries a patio, pad or drive through the freeze and thaw this part of the state runs every year.

Ground and Conditions in Brainerd

A thin base shows itself fast here. The pavers shift, the joints open, and the surface rocks underfoot after a winter of freezing and thawing.

Across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, the ground is a mix. Sandy loam over gravel sits around the lakes, peat and muck fills the low spots, and tight till runs between the water bodies.

Outwash sand takes water fast. The moraine till does not, so water sits where it lands, and lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table.

Snowmelt moves the most water of the year. Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Boat wake, wind and wave work on lakeshore, and the spring rise cuts banks. Plan flatwork and paver work from the spring thaw into late autumn, when the ground will compact.

Materials for Brainerd Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork decides how the surface holds up. The bedding layer sets the grade and spreads the load, so it has to be the right material and the right shape.

Granite Fines, sold as screenings or granite screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone. The Crushed Stone comes from the St.

Cloud belt, and it compacts to a tight, level bed.

Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, is another bedding choice, for levelling and sand under slabs and pavers. Washed Sand spreads even and holds a grade.

Class 5, or Cl 5, builds the base under the bedding.

Class 5 packs down into a firm platform.

Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

See Driveway Gravel.

For a walkway or garden path that needs a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel compacts into a firm top. Drainage behind a wall or under a downspout run calls for clean stone such as Drainage Rock, a 1 1/2 inch clear rock in Minnesota.
