Materials for Carlos Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is where a lot of work here starts, and that is fill and sub-base work before it is anything else. Fill dirt, sold as common borrow, brings a low lot or a building pad up to grade.

Once the pad is at height, Class 5 goes over it as the compacted base course. Class 5 is the Minnesota base class, a crushed aggregate with the fines left in so it binds and compacts under a drive, a parking pad or a shed base.

For a driveway, Class 5 builds the base and Driveway Gravel finishes the surface. Class 2 is the tighter 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate for a drive or a paver base.

For a patio, Granite Fines bed the pavers and compact into the joints, and Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

For a drain, Drainage Rock fills French drains, footing drains and downspout runs. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, for drainage beds and trench backfill.

Ground and Conditions in Carlos

Across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, the ground runs from sandy loam over gravel to peat and muck in the low spots. Outwash sand takes water fast, but the moraine till between the lakes does not.

That mix is what catches an under-built base. Where sand sits over tight till or a high water table, meltwater has nowhere to go, and a thin base over it moves once the spring thaw arrives.

Lakeshore erosion from wind, wave and boat wake is a real driver around here, and bank cutting on the upper Mississippi during the spring rise. Riprap armours a shoreline, a culvert outlet or a slope against ice and runoff.

Base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Deep frost every winter is worst where a sandy surface sits over tight till. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties, and footing depth is set by the building official.
