Materials for Maple Plain Projects

Decorative rock and bed material carry a lot of the outdoor work around here, so start with what the surface is meant to do. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover around foundations all take round washed stone.

Minnesota River Rock is the standard bed and border stone, and it also lines dry creek beds and rock mulch. Large River Rock suits heavier decorative work and dry creek beds that carry runoff.

For paths and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is a small round stone that walks well and drains. Walkway Gravel gives a finer, compacting surface for garden paths.

Under any of those beds, Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone and compact into garden paths. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

When the job is a driveway, a patio or a drain, the material changes with it. A drive or parking pad starts with Class 5, and Driveway Gravel finishes over a compacted base.

For a drain, Drainage Rock is the usual 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells and footing drains. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, so it works under a slab and around a footing drain.

Beds and lawns take soil and mulch instead. Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, builds lawns and planting beds, and Shredded Mulch covers beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Maple Plain

The Twin Cities metro holds several different grounds inside one short drive. Some of it is sandy and takes water fast, and some is till that drains slowly.

Where a clay loam subgrade holds water under a thin base, drives, walks and slabs heave through repeated freeze and thaw. The fix is a base built to the right depth, not a thicker layer of the wrong material.

The frost depth for the Zone II counties is 3 feet 6 inches, the figure the Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets. That is a footing depth set by the building official, so follow it for footings and foundations.

Spring load limits go up on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April, which shapes when a bulk load can move. The working season runs from the spring thaw into late autumn.

Runoff is the other local driver. Hard surfaces concentrate water, and graded lots cut gullies where nothing slows the flow.

Riprap and clear rock both slow it where a bed or a slope needs it.
