Materials for Red Lake Falls Projects

Raising grade is where a site build starts. Fill goes down first to bring a low pad up, then a compacted base course goes over it.

That order holds whether you are building a garage pad, a shed base or a driveway.

For the fill layer, Fill Dirt is bulk material for raising grade and backfilling before a base course goes on.

Over that fill, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course for driveways, parking pads and garage bases. It keeps its fines, so it binds and compacts into a firm surface.

For a tighter finish on a drive or under pavers, Driveway Gravel is a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines.

Where a base needs to bind hard, Crusher Run is crushed rock with the fines left in. Minnesota yards sell it by class or by a minus size.

For bedding under pavers and flagstone, Granite Fines are compacted granite screenings. Minnesota granite fines come from the Crushed Stone quarried in the St.

Cloud belt.

Ground and Conditions in Red Lake Falls

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 lake sediment is weak, frost susceptible and a poor aggregate source.

That clay holds water and heaves hard as it thaws. An under-built base on ground like this moves, so the fill layer and the base course above it carry the load.

There is almost no fall across the lake plain and a tight clay subgrade underneath, so meltwater and rain sit where they land. A clean, open drainage layer under a slab or along a footing drain gives that water somewhere to go.

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.
