Ground and Conditions in Clements

Most path and drive failures on this ground start in the same place. A thin base spreads, punches, and ruts at the edges where the till stays wet.

Tight, shale-rich till drains slowly and almost no fall moves water away. What falls in spring sits there.

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the thaw and early summer storms are when yards and drives are worst. Water has nowhere to go and the surface takes the traffic.

The fix is a thicker, open-graded base course that separates the walking or driving surface from the wet till. Fines carry the surface.

The base carries the water.

The working season runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and heaving hits hardest on the tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain before it freezes.

Materials for Clements Projects

Start with Granite Fines for a path or walkway. Granite fines, also called screenings or granite chips, bed pavers, flagstone and patio joints and compact into a firm garden path.

Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St. Cloud belt.

They pack tight and stay put underfoot.

For a walkable surface with a little more give, Walkway Gravel is a finer, compacting grade built for garden paths and walkways.

Under any of it, Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. Class 5, also called Class 5 gravel or Cl 5, goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Where you want a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surface, Driveway Gravel covers Class 2 granite, Class 2 limestone and 3/4 inch minus.

For drainage beside a path or under a downspout run, Drainage Rock is clear rock with the fines taken out.

Questions About Ordering in Clements

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck gets there. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not place, spread or split it.

Mark nothing for the driver; the truck simply backs in, tips, and leaves. Keep vehicles and equipment out of the way so the pile lands where you want it to sit.

What is the best base under pavers in Clements?

Class 5 goes down first as the structural base. On the tight, shale-rich till across this part of the state, water drains slowly, so the base course has to carry it away from the bedding.

Then Granite Fines bed the pavers and fill the joints. Together they hold a firm, level surface through the freeze-thaw cycle.
