Materials for Taunton Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. Black dirt, which Minnesota yards also call topsoil, builds lawns, sod beds and planting beds.

It comes screened or pulverized, so it spreads and rakes without clods.

Garden soil, sold elsewhere as garden mix, is screened black dirt blended with compost. It suits raised beds and planting areas where roots need loose ground.

Fill dirt, or common borrow, raises grade and backfills before a base course goes down. Bring the grade up first, then cap it.

Class 5 is the Minnesota base course. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and road base.

Class 2 is the surfacing class in Spec 3138, a 3/4 inch crushed aggregate with fines. Yards sell it as Class 2 granite, buff limestone or red limestone.

It surfaces drives and beds pavers.

Washed stone has the fines taken out, which is what clear rock means here. Drainage Rock, usually a 1 1/2 inch clear rock, runs French drains, drywells and footing drains.

Granite Fines bed pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Taunton

Water decides how ground here behaves. Rain, snowmelt and early summer thunderstorms all arrive faster than tight till can take them away.

Across the Southern and western prairie till, the soil is loamy to clayey and carries shale. Water sits instead of draining, and the thaw is when yards and drives show it.

That is why a clean, open stone matters under a slab or around a footing drain. Clear rock lets water move; a fines-bearing material holds it.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare cropland and freshly graded lots lose soil to sheet, rill and gully erosion after heavy summer storms.

Timing is on your side. This part of Minnesota works from the thaw into late autumn, a long season by state standards.

Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and heaving is worst on tight, shale-rich till where water cannot drain before it freezes. The Minnesota Residential Code footing table sets 3 feet 6 inches for its Zone II counties.

What stone should I use for drainage in Taunton?
