Materials for Ira Projects

Water is the job on a lot in Ira. Clay subsoil perches it, so it runs off, pools at the low spot and leaves the ground soft.

Washed stone is what moves it away.

Start with clean rock. It is washed and open graded, so water passes straight through instead of sitting in the voids.

Use it for French drains, drywells, downspout runs, subdrains and pipe bedding.

For a finer drainage layer, 3/4" Crushed Stone is a clean, free draining stone. It suits drive surfacing where you want water to keep moving, plus trench backfill.

Where the ground has to hold up a drive or a shed pad, Class A Roadstone is the Iowa base course. It is 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts.

On a new drive or a lane that carries heavy equipment, 1 Inch Roadstone goes down first as the coarser grade. Limestone Screenings then bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints.

Ground and Conditions in Ira

This part of the state has the longest working season in Iowa, but clay has to dry before anything gets compacted. A wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.

Plan the delivery around that window. Roadstone placed on saturated clay will not bind, and the drive stays soft at the bottom of a grade all season.

This is also the state'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.

For that work, Riprap armors stream banks, pond edges and outlets against spring runoff. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Winters bring repeated freeze and thaw, which heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring. Frost depth in this part of Iowa is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
