Materials for Mitchellville Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of the work here, from bed cover to dry creek beds that move roof and yard water away from the house. Rounded stone reads well in beds and along borders.

For dry creek beds and heavier bank work, Large River Rock handles the volume. River Rock suits decorative beds, borders and lighter dry creek runs.

Ground cover comes down to size and finish. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel works for walkways, play areas and patio bedding, and 3/8" Crushed Stone, sold locally as washed chips, covers seal coat aggregate, paver joints and fine drainage.

Where a bed meets a drive or a drain, Clean Rock is the washed, open graded stone that lets water move straight through. It backfills subdrains, pipe bedding and retaining wall work.

Beds and tree rings want moisture held through a dry August. Shredded Mulch is the double ground hardwood that does that job.

Ground and Conditions in Mitchellville

The ground across the Des Moines Lobe is thick, compact pebbly loam till, 45 to 60 feet deep in places. Sand and gravel run along old meltwater channels, and moraine ridges stay hummocky and stony.

Drainage here is young and inefficient. Kettles and closed depressions hold water, and most ground only drains because it is tiled.

Where the ground below is still frozen, snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface.

That matters for what you put down. An under-built base on this ground pumps and shifts, so a fines-bearing roadstone base goes in first and decorative stone sits above it.

Erosion is less about slope here than about concentrated runoff. Ditch and tile outlet scour, bank cutting and washouts on the moraine ridges all show up where water gathers.

Timing follows the frost. Compaction waits for the frost to come out and for flat ground to shed its spring water, so base and paver work runs from late spring to the fall freeze.
