Materials delivered in Chippewa County
Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. County highway departments and cities write their own standards against those same class numbers.
Order Class 5 for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base. It keeps its fines, so it binds and compacts into a firm surface.
Yards sell it as Class 2 granite or as buff or red limestone.
It suits drive surfacing and paver base.
Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and it is bought screened or pulverized. Use it for lawns, sod beds and planting beds.
For other jobs, Mason Sand beds brick and block work and paver joints, and Top Soil covers lawns and beds. RipRap armours streambanks and culvert outlets against ice and runoff.
Ground conditions across Chippewa County
Across the Southern and western prairie till, the ground is gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till. It runs loamy to clayey and carries shale brought down from the Dakotas, under deep black prairie soil.
Tight till and almost no fall drain slowly. Most farmed ground runs on tile, and closed pothole basins hold water until it is drained or evaporates.
That slow drainage is what an under-built base runs into. Water sitting in the subgrade before it freezes is what heaves a drive, and the thaw plus early summer thunderstorms are when yards and drives are worst.
Bare cropland and graded lots take sheet, rill and gully erosion after heavy summer storms. Spring load limits go on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.
The working season runs long here by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Frost depth is 3 feet 6 inches (42 inches), the depth the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets for its Zone II counties; the building official sets footing depth.
Choosing the right material
Renville County and Swift County sit on the same Southern and western prairie till ground that Chippewa County does. The till, the shale content and the slow drainage are the same, so the base and drainage choices carry over unchanged.
Kandiyohi County differs. Its ground is the Central Minnesota moraine and granite belt, with granite at or near the surface and outwash sand and gravel along the river valleys.
That sand and gravel drains faster than tight till. On Kandiyohi ground a clean drainage stone moves water quickly, while here the till holds it.
On this county's ground, use Class 5 where a compacted base is wanted and a clean rock such as 3/4 clear rock or Drainage Rock where water has to move.
