Mentor sits in Polk County, on ground that stays flat and holds water. That shapes what goes under a drive.

Materials for Mentor Projects

Start with the base course. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base.

It packs into a firm, bound surface for drives, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in the same spec, a tighter 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Use it to surface a drive or bed pavers, sold locally as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

For topping an existing drive, Driveway Gravel finishes over a compacted base and restores the running surface.

Crusher run keeps the fines in the mix, so it binds and compacts. Minnesota yards sell it by class or by a minus size more often than by the name.

Ground and Conditions in Mentor

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, the ground is the flat bed of glacial Lake Agassiz. Deep silt and clay settled out in still water, and the lake sediment is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source.

Usable sand and gravel sit in the beach ridges and river terraces, not in the clay. That is where local aggregate comes from.

Water is the real driver. Almost no fall across the lake plain and a tight clay or peat subgrade underneath mean meltwater and rain sit where they land instead of draining away.

So drainage layers matter here. Drainage Rock handles French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains and downspout runs, usually as a 1 1/2 inch clear rock.

Clean washed stone lets water move; a fines-bearing base holds it.

Frost drives deep into clay that holds water, and that ground heaves as it thaws. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet for its Zone I counties, and the building official sets footing depth.

Erosion follows the same water. Cutbank scour and bank slumping along the Red and its tributaries during the spring rise, plus wind off bare, flat, unsheltered fields.

Base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out. Spring load limits go up on North zone roads from late March into May, and the building season is short at both ends.
