Materials for Lewiston Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most of this work starts. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course.

It goes down for driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Class 5 binds and compacts, which is what a drive needs under it. For the driving surface itself, Class 2 is a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines.

Minnesota yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone. Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base.

Washed stone has the fines taken out. Clear rock is how Minnesota yards say washed, as against Class 5, which keeps them.

3/4 Clear Rock handles drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.

The same clean stone covers foundation rock, radon rock and under-slab work, including the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes. Drainage Rock runs French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding.

Sand beds the hard surfaces. Mason Sand is for brick and block work, paver joints, sandboxes and play areas.

Washed Sand, also sold as concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Soil and decorative stone finish the site. Black dirt is what Minnesota calls topsoil, usually bought screened or pulverized for lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

Top Soil and Fill Dirt handle planting and grade raising.

Minnesota River Rock is round washed stone for decorative beds, borders, dry creek beds and rock mulch around foundations. Natural Pea Gravel, or pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and drainage.

Ground and Conditions in Lewiston

Start with water and where it goes. Across the Driftless bluff and karst country, rain, snowmelt and heavy storms run off steep slopes fast.

The ground is worked by groundwater into sinkholes, springs and caves, so surface flow is flashy and valley floors flood quickly.

A downspout run aimed at a sinkhole goes straight to groundwater. Route drainage into a clean stone layer instead, where it can move and settle rather than vanish into a fracture.

The soil is loess over residual soil on Paleozoic limestone, dolostone and sandstone. It is thin on the ridge tops and deep in the valleys, with rock outcrops on the bluffs and little or no glacial drift.

That is why a base can cut through to rock on one lot and sit on deep silt on the next.

Erosion follows the same pattern: rill and gully erosion on steep loess slopes, bluff and roadcut slumping, and flash flooding in the Root, Whitewater and Zumbro valleys after heavy rain. Riprap armours culvert outlets, streambanks and slopes against ice, wave and spring runoff.

The working season is one of the longer ones in the state, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on Southeast zone roads in early March and come off in April, so plan heavy hauls around that window.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. Frost lifts slabs and walks on the thin, silty soils over rock.

The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties, and the building official sets footing depth.
