Ground and Conditions in Hutchinson

Hutchinson sits in McLeod County on the Southern and western prairie till. That ground is gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey, with shale carried down from the Dakotas.

Deep black prairie soil covers most of it. The surface rolls in hummocks and potholes, so water stands where nothing carries it away.

Tight till and almost no fall drain slowly across this part of the state. Closed basins hold water until it drains or evaporates.

A thin base shows its weakness in spring. The thaw loosens the subgrade, and early summer storms finish the job on a drive built over soft ground.

Heaving is worst on tight, shale-rich till where water cannot leave before it freezes. Cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw.

Build the base course wide and deep enough to spread the load, and give water a clean path out. Bare graded lots also wash after heavy summer storms, so seed or cover them once the work is done.

The working season here runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.

Materials for Hutchinson Projects

Fines and screenings carry paths and walkways here. They bed pavers, level flagstone and patio stone, and pack into a firm surface underfoot.

Granite fines, also called screenings or stone screenings, are Crushed Stone from the St. Cloud belt.

Use them for paver and flagstone bedding, and for garden paths that need to compact.

Walkway gravel gives a finer, walkable surface for garden paths and walkways. It compacts under foot traffic and holds a line.

Under both, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases, and road base.

Class 2 is the 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate, sold as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone. It surfaces drives and beds pavers where a tighter crushed rock with fines is wanted.

For drainage, 3/4 inch clear rock is washed with the fines taken out. It fills drainage beds, trench backfill and construction entrances.

Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and exposed aggregate work. Minnesota river rock and large river rock handle decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and keep the approach open. A dump truck tips the whole load in one pile, so the spot needs room for the pile and a clear path to back in.

Move vehicles, trailers and equipment out of the way first.
