Materials for Mayer Projects

Water is the reason most of this page's material list exists. Around Mayer, footing drains, downspout runs, drywells and French drains all need stone that stays open, and that means washed stone with the fines taken out.

Clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed. 3/4 Clear Rock is a drainage bed, a construction entrance and a trench backfill size, and it also acts as foundation rock under a slab.

Drainage Rock runs coarser at about 1 1/2 inch clear. It goes in French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains, downspout runs and sewer bedding.

Where the trench is tight or the pipe is small, 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage and pipe bedding. #4 Crushed Stone covers heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances.

For the drive or pad itself, Class 5 is the base course. Class 5 binds and compacts under traffic.

Above that base, Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over compacted base. Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines, sold as Class 2 granite or Class 2 limestone depending on the quarry.

Rounded stone has its own jobs. Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea rock, suits walkways, play areas and drainage.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is that washed round stone. Minnesota River Rock and Large River Rock go in dry creek beds and decorative borders.

Sand and soil round out a Mayer order. Mason Sand beds brick, block and paver joints, and Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

Black dirt is the local name for topsoil, and it fills lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

Ground and Conditions in Mayer

Timing drives a lot of the schedule here. The Twin Cities metro side has the longest working season in the state, running from the spring thaw into late autumn.

Spring load limits go up on Metro zone roads in early March and come off in mid-April, so heavy deliveries on those roads are a spring consideration. Plan your delivery date around that window.

Ground across the metro is mixed. Sandy ground north of the rivers takes water fast, while till in the southern and western suburbs drains slowly, and hard surfaces concentrate runoff.

That is why a clean drainage layer matters more on some lots than others.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and drives, walks and slabs heave wherever a clay loam subgrade holds water. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 42 inches for its Zone II counties, and that number belongs to those counties rather than to Mayer.
