Materials for Glencoe Projects

Class 5 leads most base work in this part of Minnesota. It is the standard base course, and it carries drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and road base.

Where you want a tighter crushed surface over that base, Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite or limestone, a 3/4 inch minus rock with fines still in it.

For a single material that binds and compacts on its own, crusher run leaves the fines in the mix. Minnesota yards often sell it by class or by a minus size rather than by that name.

Washed stone is the other half of the work. 3/4 Clear Rock has the fines taken out, which suits drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.

The same clean rock goes under basement slabs and around footing drains as foundation rock, including the gas-permeable layer beneath a passive radon system. Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear stone here, handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and soil finish the job. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, Mason Sand works into paver joints, and black dirt, which is what Minnesota calls topsoil, builds lawns and planting beds.

Minnesota River Rock covers decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Glencoe

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the ground is tight. That till is loamy to clayey and holds shale, so water sits instead of draining away.

Most farmed ground in this part of the state runs on tile, and closed pothole basins hold water until it drains or evaporates. Yards and drives are worst at the thaw and during early summer thunderstorms.

That is why a clean, open-graded stone matters on drainage work here, and why a fines-bearing base belongs where it can compact and shed surface water. Heavy summer storms also cut gullies into bare graded lots.

Frost is a real factor. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and heaving is worst on tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain before it freezes.
