Materials for Libertyville Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, then take a stone or sand on top. Black dirt, which is screened topsoil, covers lawn repair and final grading.

Top Soil spreads over a rough grade to leave a seedable surface.

Garden soil is blended richer than plain black dirt for raised beds and planting areas. Garden Soil fills a bed that has to grow something the first season.

Fill dirt raises grade and backfills low ground before a roadstone course goes down. Fill Dirt takes the low spots so the base above it sits even.

Class A roadstone, also called roadstone or 3/4 inch roadstone, is crushed limestone with the fines left in. It binds and compacts under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Class A Roadstone is the base course to build on.

Washed stone is the other half of the job. Clean rock, sold as 1 inch clean or 1 1/2 inch clean, is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it.

Clean Rock goes in subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and behind retaining walls.

Sand and decorative stone round out a site. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and Mason Sand mixes into brick and block mortar or fills paver joints.

River Rock is rounded gravel for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Libertyville

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, rain and spring snowmelt are the driver. The ground drains at the surface, but the clay subsoil underneath does not take water.

So water perches, runs off, and leaves drives soft at the bottom of a grade. Spring rain on saturated clay is the worst of it, and a wet spring pushes base work back several weeks until the clay dries enough to compact.

This is Iowa's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deeply, hillslopes carry a fine texture of rills, and gully and stream bank erosion after heavy rain is the main reason rock goes in on slopes and at outlets.

Riprap, also called revetment stone, armors stream banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that runoff. Riprap is angular stone sized to hold a slope in place.

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