Materials for Hollandale Projects

Raising grade starts with fill. Fill Dirt builds up a low lot, backfills around a foundation and lifts a pad before any base course goes down.

Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, and it goes on last. Top Soil covers a graded yard so grass and sod beds can take.

Once the grade is where you want it, Class 5 carries the load. It is the standard Minnesota base course, and it handles driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Order Class 5 for those jobs.

Under a patio or a walkway, the base matters more than the surface. Crusher Run is crushed rock with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts.

Minnesota yards often sell it by class or by a minus size instead of by that name.

Where water has to move, use clean stone. Drainage Rock runs French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs, usually as an inch and a half clear rock.

Clear rock means washed, with the fines taken out.

For a tighter surface on a drive. It is a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as granite or limestone depending on the quarry.

Ground and Conditions in Hollandale

The ground here is gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey and carrying shale brought down from the Dakotas. Deep black prairie soil sits over it, with a hummocky pothole surface across much of the region.

That till is tight and the land has almost no fall, so water drains slowly. Yards and drives are at their worst when the thaw meets early summer thunderstorms.

An under-built base shows up fast on ground like this. Water that cannot drain away before it freezes heaves the surface above it, and the heaviest damage lands on the tight, shale-rich till.

Build the base to carry the load and to shed water, not just to fill a hole.

Bare cropland and graded lots move soil in heavy summer storms, and sheet, rill and gully erosion follows.

The working season runs long 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, so plan heavy hauling around them.
