Materials for Elysian Projects

Base and driveway surfacing carry the work here. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course, and it is what a drive, a parking pad or a garage base sits on.

Class 5 carries the full range of sizes with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer. Order it by the ton or the yard from the Class 5 page.

For the surface layer. It tightens up over a compacted base and takes traffic without working loose.

Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone depending on the quarry. It also beds pavers.

See Driveway Gravel.

Where a drive needs to bind hard and hold, crusher run keeps the fines in the mix. Minnesota yards more often sell it by class or by a minus size than by the name.

See Crusher Run.

Granite fines, also called screenings, bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and they surface compacted garden paths. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt. See Granite Fines.

3/4 inch clear rock is washed with the fines taken out, which is what clear means in Minnesota. It drains, so it goes into drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill.

See 3/4 Clear Rock.

Under a basement slab or around a footing drain, clean washed rock does the work. Foundation rock, also called radon rock, forms the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints and sandboxes, and washed sand levels under slabs and pavers.

Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and it builds lawns and planting beds.

For decorative work, pea rock fills walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate beds, and Minnesota river rock borders beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Elysian

Start with where the water goes. This part of Minnesota sits on gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale brought down from the Dakotas.

That till is tight. It drains slowly, and much of the farmed ground around here runs on tile.

Closed pothole basins hold water until it is drained or evaporates.

The thaw and early summer thunderstorms are when yards and drives are worst. Water that cannot drain away before it freezes heaves the ground, and heaving is worst on tight, shale-rich till.

Build the base so it sheds water rather than holding it. A compacted Class 5 course over a clean, open drainage layer keeps the fines from pumping and the surface from rutting.

Timing matters too. This is a long working season 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.

Heavy loads on a soft, thawing subgrade do damage that shows up later. Plan the haul for a stretch when the ground has firmed up.
