Materials for Garfield Projects

Washed stone is the place to start when water has to move. Clear rock has the fines taken out, so it stays open and lets water through instead of holding it.

That makes it the right stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Size sets what each washed stone does. Drainage Rock is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

3/4 Clear Rock covers drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances. 3/8" Crushed Stone is the finer washed stone for tight drainage and pipe bedding.

Under a slab, clean washed rock forms the gas-permeable layer that a passive radon system needs in a new Minnesota home. 3/4 Clear Rock is the stone for that layer and for the footing drains around it.

Where the ground needs to bind and compact, Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It carries fines, so it knuckles down under a drive, a parking pad or a shed base.

For a drive surface, Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed rock with fines that Minnesota yards sell as Class 2 granite or limestone. Granite fines, also called screenings, bed pavers and flagstone.

Pea rock and river rock are the round washed stones for walkways, play areas and decorative beds.

Ground and Conditions in Garfield

Across the North central lakes, moraine and outwash country, the ground swings between outwash sand that takes water fast and moraine till that does not. Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table.

Snowmelt moves the most water of the year.

That split decides how a site drains. Sand sheds water quickly, while till holds it, so a low spot on till stays soft well into spring.

A clean washed stone layer under a slab or along a footing drain gives that water somewhere to go.

Base, drive and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Plan a delivery around that window.

Winters here bring deep frost, worst where a sandy surface sits over tight till or a high water table. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties, and that is a footing depth set by the building official, not a base depth.
