Materials for Climax Projects

Water is the thing that shapes a lot of work around Climax. The lake plain sits flat with tight clay or peat underneath, so meltwater and rain sit where they land instead of running off.

Washed stone carries that water away, and the sizes below are the ones that do the work.

Drainage Rock is the coarse end of that job. It is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock in Minnesota, and it goes into French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding.

3/4 Clear Rock is the smaller clear stone. Clear rock means washed with the fines taken out, which is what makes it drain rather than hold.

Use it for drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Foundation rock is the same clean washed stone sold for under-slab work, including the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes. It sits around footing drains too.

3/8 inch crushed stone and #89 crushed stone are the fine end. Both work for pipe bedding, fine drainage and a thin topping over a compacted base, and 3/8 inch stone is also sold as granite chips.

When you need a surface that binds instead of drains, Class 5 and Class 2 take over.

Ground and Conditions in Climax

Base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out. Spring load limits go up on North zone roads from late March into May, and the building season is short at both ends, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material.

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the ground is the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz: deep silt and clay settled out in still water. Lake sediment is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source, so usable sand and gravel sit in the beach ridges and river terraces.

That weak, wet clay is the reason a drainage layer earns its place here. It also heaves hard as it thaws, which is why footings go to the depth the building official sets rather than to whatever the soil looks like in August.

Wind erosion off bare, flat, unsheltered fields is a real problem in this part of the state. Bare ground left through the spring moves, so cover it or get a surface down.
