Materials for Glenwood Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. Screened topsoil, sold here as black dirt, goes down for lawn repair, regrading and bed prep.

It is dark, screened and ready to work into a seedbed.

Top Soil covers bare ground and levels a yard after trenching or a new build. Garden Soil is blended richer for raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low ground and backfills before a roadstone course goes down. It comes as clay fill or sandy fill, depending on what the site needs.

Under a drive, a pad or a shed base, Class A roadstone is the standard Iowa base course. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts.

1 Inch Roadstone is the coarser grade. It suits a new drive, a soft spot or a lane that carries heavy equipment, laid under a finer surface course.

Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through. It goes in subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and behind retaining walls.

Ground and Conditions in Glenwood

Across the Loess Hills and the Missouri River valley, water is the constraint. Wind blown silt sits more than 60 feet deep in places, and 150 to 200 feet in spots, forming steep ridges along the valley.

On the hills, narrow ravines and steep gullies shed water fast. On the flat bottom ground west of the bluff line, a high water table and river flooding set the limit.

Loess erodes as almost nothing else does. It stands in near vertical faces when dry, cuts deep gullies under runoff, and slides when it gets saturated.

River bank cutting and flood scour do the rest.

That is why bottomland drives get built up on rock. A compacted roadstone base lifts the surface above the wet ground and gives water somewhere to go.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves drives and loosens the silt faces of cuts and banks. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
