Materials for Ellsworth Projects

Washed stone is the material that keeps water moving on this ground, and it is the right place to start. Clean rock, also called clean stone or 1 inch clean, is washed and open graded, so water runs straight through it.

Use it for subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding, septic rock and the backfill behind a retaining wall.

For a French drain or a downspout run, Clean Rock is the open graded stone that lets the trench drain instead of holding water.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as 3/4 inch clean, is the smaller washed option for drive surfacing where you want a loose, free draining surface, plus pipe bedding and trench backfill.

At the fine end, 3/8" Crushed Stone is what Iowa quarries sell as washed chips. It goes into seal coat aggregate, paver joints and a thin top dressing.

Limestone Screenings are the fines, and they bed pavers and flagstone and fill joints.

Every one of those is crushed limestone, not round river gravel. When a trench or a drywell needs to shed water, the washed grades are the ones that do it.

Ground and Conditions in Ellsworth

This part of Iowa is Des Moines Lobe ground: thick, compact pebbly loam till with sand and gravel along old meltwater channels. The drainage network is young, and kettles and closed depressions hold water.

Most ground here only drains because it is tiled.

That is why a downspout run, a French drain or a drywell matters on a lot here. Washed, open graded stone gives the water somewhere to go instead of sitting against a foundation or under a drive.

Compaction waits for the frost to come out and for the flat ground to shed its spring water. Base and paver work runs from late spring to the fall freeze, and a wet spring shortens that window.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, which heaves gravel drives, lanes and field entrances as the ground lets go in spring. Plan the delivery for a window when the ground is workable.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Ellsworth?

Class A roadstone is the standard Iowa base course for a drive: crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. For a new drive or a soft spot, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade that goes down first.

Top an existing drive that has thinned out with driveway rock over a compacted roadstone base.
