Materials for Mizpah Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, and that work starts with soil. Top Soil, which Minnesota calls black dirt, builds lawns and sod beds.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas.

Where grade has to come up before anything else goes down, Fill Dirt does the raising.

It goes in first, then a compacted course follows over it.

Base material comes next. Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course, and it carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and road base.

For a tighter surface with fines that bind, Driveway Gravel gives you a 3/4 inch crushed Class 2 surfacing, sold in Minnesota as granite or limestone.

Washed stone handles the water. Drainage Rock is a 1 1/2 inch clear rock for French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs.

Sand and bedding round out a build. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio work.

Ground and Conditions in Mizpah

Across the Red River Valley and the northern lake plain, water is the whole story. The land sits almost flat and the subgrade under it is tight clay or peat, so meltwater and rain stay where they land.

Spring makes that worse. The ground is still frozen when the melt starts, and the rivers rise and top their banks most years.

Water has nowhere to go, and it goes into whatever you built.

So drainage gets planned, not added later. A clean washed stone like Drainage Rock moves water instead of holding it.

A fines-bearing material does the opposite and traps it.

Erosion follows the same water. Cutbanks scour and slump along the river and its tributaries during the spring rise.

Bare, flat, unsheltered fields lose soil to wind too. RipRap armours shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against ice, wave and runoff.

The working season is short at both ends. Base, drive and paver work waits for the thaw and for the clay to dry out.

Spring load limits go on North zone roads from late March into May.

Winters here are among the coldest in the state, and frost drives deep into clay that holds water and heaves hard as it thaws. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 5 feet (60 inches) for its Zone I counties, and that figure belongs to those counties.

What stone should I use for drainage in Mizpah?

Use clean washed stone. Drainage Rock, a 1 1/2 inch clear rock, suits French drains, drywells, footing and foundation drains and downspout runs.

3/4 Clear Rock is the Minnesota term for washed stone with the fines taken out, and it works for drainage beds and trench backfill. Fines-bearing material traps water, so keep it out of drainage work.
