Materials for Indianola Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil, not stone. Screened topsoil, garden soil and fill dirt do that work before any base course goes down.

Top Soil is screened black dirt, the dark prairie soil Iowa yards are built on. Spread it for lawn repair, grading and bed prep.

Garden Soil is blended richer than plain black dirt. Use it in raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low ground. It goes down before a roadstone course, not as a surface.

Once grade is set, Class A Roadstone is the standard Iowa base course. It is 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under driveways, parking pads and farm lanes.

For a new drive or a lane that carries heavy equipment, 1 Inch Roadstone is the coarser grade. Lay it under a finer surface course.

Where water has to move, use washed stone. Clean Rock is open graded and washed, so it drains.

Subdrains, pipe bedding and backfill behind retaining walls take it.

Sand rounds out the list. Mason Sand beds brick, block and pavers and fills joints.

Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Indianola

Start with water. Spring rain and snowmelt hit ground that drains at the surface but not below it.

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, old till sits under a loess mantle. Beneath that is a thick grey clay paleosol that water will not move through.

So water perches, runs off, and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade. Saturated clay in spring is the worst of it.

This is also Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry rills, and gullies open after heavy rain.

That is why rock goes on slopes and at culvert outlets.

Use Riprap to armor stream banks, pond edges and culvert outlets against runoff.

Clay soils need to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks, even in the state's longest working season.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw. Frost heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring.

Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
