Materials for Conrad Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, not stone. Raise a low yard with fill dirt, then finish it with screened black dirt so grass takes.

Fill Dirt, also called clay fill dirt or sandy fill dirt, raises grade and backfills low ground. Roll it out before a roadstone course goes down.

Top Soil is screened black dirt, named after the dark prairie soils this state is known for. Use it for lawn repair, grading and bed prep.

Garden Soil is blended richer than plain black dirt. Raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas want this instead.

Once grade is set, base material goes down. Class A roadstone is the standard Iowa base course: 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Where a soft spot or a lane carries heavy equipment, start with 1 Inch Roadstone. It is the coarser grade, laid under a finer surface course.

Sand and washed stone cover the rest. Mason Sand beds brick and block mortar, paver joints and arena footing.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

For water that has to move, use Clean Rock, washed and open graded so water passes straight through. Subdrains, pipe bedding and retaining wall backfill take it.

Ground and Conditions in Conrad

Start with where the water goes. Across the Iowan Surface, drainage networks are well established but stream gradients are low, so water moves slowly and old wetland pockets still hold it.

Limestone aquifers keep rivers running in dry spells and can put groundwater close to the surface. Wet ground stays wet, and it stays soft well after the uplands are ready.

Erosion shows up as sheet wash on long, low slopes and gully cutting where runoff concentrates. Arm culvert outlets and pond edges with Riprap before spring thaw.

Hard northern Iowa winters bring a long frozen season and repeated freeze-thaw that lifts gravel drives, walks and slabs each spring. The local building official sets footing depth.

Work starts once frost is out and the low ground has drained, and runs to the fall freeze.
