Materials for Lacona Projects

Start with the project, not the stone. Decorative rock, beds, dry creek beds and ground cover all take different material, and the wrong pick shows up fast.

For beds and borders, use River Rock. It is rounded gravel washed out of the Missouri, Mississippi and their tributary valleys, and it sits still in a planting bed.

For a dry creek bed or a splash pad, go bigger with Large River Rock. It handles heavier decorative work and bank edges where runoff runs.

Walkways and play areas take 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel. Iowa says Natural Pea Gravel, and it beds patios and small drainage runs.

Beds and tree rings want Shredded Mulch. Double ground hardwood holds moisture through a dry Iowa August.

Under any of it, Top Soil grades and preps the bed. Iowa yards call screened topsoil black dirt, after the dark prairie soils the state is known for.

For a driveway or a farm lane, the base is Class A Roadstone. It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts.

For a soft spot or a lane carrying heavy equipment, lay 1 Inch Roadstone first. It is the coarser grade, and a finer surface course goes over it.

Where water has to move, use Clean Rock. It is washed and open graded, so it drains instead of holding water.

Ground and Conditions in Lacona

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

That clay perches water. Ground drains at the surface but the subsoil does not take it, so drives go soft at the bottom of a grade.

This is Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, and gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is why rock goes on slopes and at outlets.

An under-built base fails on that clay. Compact roadstone only goes down on ground that has dried, and a wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.

Freeze-thaw heaves gravel drives and lanes every spring. The local building official sets footing depth.
