Materials for Nerstrand Projects

Grading and bed prep carry a lot of work on this ground. Fill and soil do the shaping before any stone goes down, and the right base under them keeps a drive or pad from moving.

Start with Fill Dirt to raise grade and backfill. Bring a low spot up to level before a base course goes over it.

Finish beds and lawns with Top Soil, sold here as black dirt. Raised beds and planting areas take Garden Soil, a mix of screened black dirt and compost.

Set pavers, flagstone and garden paths on Granite Fines, the screenings quarried in the St. Cloud belt.

Bed joints and sandboxes take Mason Sand.

Under all of it, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course for drives, parking pads and shed bases. It keeps the fines, so it binds and compacts.

Where water has to move, Drainage Rock fills French drains, drywells and footing drains. It is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock here.

Ground and Conditions in Nerstrand

Water drives everything here. Rain, snowmelt and summer storms land on tight till and have almost nowhere to go.

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the ground is loamy to clayey and holds shale brought down from the Dakotas. It drains slowly and it heaves in a hard freeze.

Tile drains most of the farmed ground, and closed basins hold water until it is drained or evaporates. Yards and drives show it first at the thaw and again in early summer storms.

Plan for that water rather than against it. Clean stone under a slab and around footings gives it a path out, and a compacted base over fill keeps a surface from pumping.

Bare, graded lots move in heavy rain. Sheet, rill and gully erosion strips topsoil off a slope before anything is planted, so get black dirt and seed down on exposed ground.

The working season runs long here, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, which affects hauling.
