Materials for East Grand Forks Projects

Decorative rock and ground cover carry a lot of the outdoor work around here, so start with what the bed or the slope actually needs. Round washed stone sold as Minnesota River Rock suits decorative beds, borders and rock mulch around a foundation.

Where a dry creek bed runs through the yard, Large River Rock gives you the heavier round stone that work calls for. Both are round stone, so they sit as cover rather than binding into a surface.

For paths and beds that want a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel compacts underfoot and holds a clean edge. Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio work, and they compact into garden paths.

Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, fills walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the washed round stone for that job.

Driveways and pads take a different family. Class 5 builds the base, Driveway Gravel finishes over a compacted course, and Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate when a tighter surface is wanted.

Drainage and under-slab work call for clean washed stone. 3/4 Clear Rock handles drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill, and it is the clean washed rock used under basement slabs and around footing drains.

Drainage Rock runs French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Riprap, also called shoreline rock, armours a slope or a culvert outlet against runoff.

Soils and sands round out the order. Black dirt, which is what Minnesota calls topsoil, feeds lawns and planting beds, and Garden Soil fills raised beds.

Mason sand and washed sand bed pavers and slabs.

Ground and Conditions in East Grand Forks

This town sits on the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz, across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain. Deep silt and clay settled out in still water, and that lake sediment is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source.

Usable sand and gravel sit in the beach ridges and river terraces rather than in the clay. That is where the material for a base or a bed actually comes from in this part of the state.

The clay matters to what you build on it. Almost no fall crosses the lake plain and the subgrade holds water, so meltwater and rain sit where they land instead of running off.

An under-built base on ground like that moves when the frost goes in and heaves as it thaws. Get the base course right and the surface above it has something to sit on.

Timing follows the same ground. Base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out, and the building season is short at both ends.
