This is the Paleozoic Plateau, the driftless northeast, where thin soil sits over limestone and water drops away through the rock instead of running off.

Materials for Colesburg Projects

Decorative work starts with rounded stone. River Rock is washed river gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Large River Rock takes the heavier end of that work, in dry creek beds, splash pads and bank edges.

For a walkable surface, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio bedding. Walkway Gravel gives garden paths a finer surface than drive rock.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through a dry August.

Under a drive or a parking pad, Class A Roadstone is the crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. 1 Inch Roadstone is the coarser grade for a new drive, a soft spot or a lane carrying heavy equipment.

Where water has to move, Clean Rock is washed and open graded for subdrains, pipe bedding and backfill behind retaining walls. Limestone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Ground and Conditions in Colesburg

Thin soil over limestone, dolomite, sandstone and shale leaves little room for error under a base. Bedrock sits shallow on the ridgetops and shows in the valley walls, and the loess cover is patchy.

An under-built base on that ground moves.

Water is the other half of it. Across the Paleozoic Plateau, the driftless northeast, karst sends water into sinkholes, fractures and underground passages rather than off the surface.

Springs run year round, and thin soil over rock leaves nowhere for water to sit.

Steep valley sides push runoff down fast after a storm, scouring drives and lanes. That is why a drainage layer matters as much as the surface course, and why riprap armors culvert outlets, pond edges and banks.

Work fits between the spring thaw and the fall freeze. Frost works into fractured rock and thin soil and breaks up surfaces on steep lanes each spring, so surfaces get topped up in the fall.

Dubuque publishes a frost depth of 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
