Class 5 is the base course most of this ground calls for. The till under Winsted holds water, so a clean washed stone matters as much as the base does.

Washed stone does the drainage work around a house here. Water that cannot move through tight till has to go somewhere, and clear rock gives it a place to collect and run.

Drainage Rock is the 1 1/2 inch clear stone for French drains, drywells and footing drains. It stays open, so water reaches the pipe instead of sitting in the soil.

3/4 Clear Rock handles downspout runs, trench backfill and drainage beds. It is washed with the fines taken out, which is what keeps it draining.

That same clean stone, sold as foundation rock or radon rock, goes under basement slabs and around footing drains. It also forms the gas-permeable layer beneath the passive radon system Minnesota requires in new homes.

For the drive itself, Class 5 is the standard Minnesota base course. It carries a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base or a road base.

Driveway Gravel, sold locally as Class 2 granite or Class 2 limestone, is a 3/4 inch crushed surfacing aggregate with fines. It finishes over a compacted base or refreshes an existing drive.

Finer work takes finer stone. Granite Fines bed pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and they compact into garden paths.

Ground and Conditions in Winsted

The working season here runs long by Minnesota standards, from the thaw into late autumn. Spring load limits go up on South and Central zone roads in early March and come off in April, so timing a delivery around that stretch is worth planning for.

Underneath, this is Southern and western prairie till: gray, calcareous Des Moines lobe till, loamy to clayey, carrying shale brought down from the Dakotas. Deep black prairie soil sits over it, and the surface is hummocky with pothole basins.

That tight till drains slowly and holds water in the low spots. Yards and drives are at their worst during the thaw and the early summer thunderstorms, when the ground cannot take any more.

Freeze-thaw heaving is worst where water cannot drain away before it freezes. A clean washed stone layer under a slab or along a footing drain gives that water a path out.
