Class 5 is the base Minnesota yards sell for drives, pads and road base, and black dirt is what this part of the state calls topsoil. Both go out on a dump truck across Martin County.

Materials for Sherburn Projects

Start with the ground you are building on, not the stone. Grading, raising a low spot and prepping a bed all begin with fill and soil, and the aggregate goes over the top once the grade is right.

Top Soil, sold here as black dirt, builds lawns, sod beds and planting beds. Order it screened or pulverized and it spreads and rakes clean.

Garden Soil is screened black dirt blended for raised beds and planting areas. It holds moisture through a dry southern Minnesota summer.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before a Class 5 course goes down.

Then the base and surfacing. Class 5, also called Class 5 gravel or Cl 5, is the standard Minnesota base course.

It carries driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or finishes over a compacted base. In Minnesota the surfacing class is Class 2, a 3/4 inch crushed rock sold as Class 2 granite or buff limestone.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4 Clear Rock is washed with the fines taken out, so it drains instead of packing.

Use it in drainage beds, construction entrances and trench backfill.

Drainage Rock runs French drains, drywells, footing drains and downspout runs. In Minnesota it is usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock.

Sand beds and levels the finish work. Mason Sand goes into brick and block work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

For beds and borders, Minnesota River Rock is round washed stone for decorative beds, dry creek beds and rock mulch around foundations.

Ground and Conditions in Sherburn

Water decides how a yard here performs. Snowmelt and early summer thunderstorms are when drives and low spots are at their worst, and the ground in this part of the state drains slowly.

Tight till holds water instead of shedding it. Where there is almost no fall, water sits until it drains or evaporates, so plan where it goes before you plan the surface.

Farm ground across the Southern and western prairie till mostly runs on tile, and closed basins hold water until they are drained. A graded lot behaves the same way when runoff has nowhere to leave.

That is the case for a clean washed layer under a slab or around a footing drain. Clear rock and drainage rock pass water; a fines-bearing base holds it.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and heaving is worst on tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain away before it freezes. Base depth reasoning in Minnesota runs on the thaw and the seasonal load limits that go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.

Heavy summer storms also cut sheet, rill and gully erosion into bare graded ground. Get cover on exposed soil and armour the places runoff concentrates.

The working season here is long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Grade and place soil while the ground is open.
