Materials for Ottertail Projects

Most landscaping work here starts with beds, borders and ground cover, and that is where decorative rock earns its place. Round washed stone is sold in this state as river rock or Mississippi river rock.

Minnesota River Rock covers planting beds, borders and rock mulch around foundations. For a dry creek bed or heavier decorative work, Large River Rock gives you the bigger round stone.

For driveways, a compacted base comes first. Class 5 is the Minnesota base course.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base. Order it from Class 5.

Where you want a tighter 3/4 inch crushed surface with fines, use Class 2. Minnesota's Class 2 is the surfacing class in Spec 3138, made of crushed quarry rock and sold as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

It works as drive surfacing and paver base, and it is stocked as Driveway Gravel.

Around the beds and paths, Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patios, and they compact into garden paths. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

For drainage, clear rock is the Minnesota way of saying washed with the fines taken out. 3/4 Clear Rock handles drainage beds, drive surfacing, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Ground and Conditions in Ottertail

The ground region here is north central lakes, moraine and outwash country, where sandy loam sits over gravel around the lakes. Outwash sand takes water fast, but the moraine till between the lakes does not.

Lake and wetland margins sit close under the water table, and snowmelt moves the most water of the year. That is why an under-built base shows itself fast in this county.

Winter frost is deep every winter. It bites hardest where a sandy surface sits over tight till or a high water table and the water has nowhere to go as it freezes.

Build the base to suit the soil you actually have.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on North and North-Central zone roads from March into May, and frozen ground stops compaction through the winter.

Lakeshore erosion from wind, wave and boat wake is the other local driver. RipRap armours shorelines, culvert outlets and slopes against ice, wave and spring runoff.
