Materials for Nemaha Projects

Fill and sub-base come first. Most ground here needs to be raised before anything goes on top of it, and the grade you build on decides how the finished surface holds up.

Use Fill Dirt to raise grade, fill low spots and backfill around a pad. It goes down first and gets topped with a roadstone course.

Class A roadstone is the base course for this market. It is 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts.

Order it for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

For a new drive or a lane that carries heavy equipment, start with 1 Inch Roadstone. The coarser grade goes under a finer surface course.

Top a drive that has thinned out with Driveway Gravel.

Water is the other half of the job. Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it.

Use it for subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and behind retaining walls.

Ground and Conditions in Nemaha

The ground across the Des Moines Lobe is thick, compact pebbly loam till. It is young glacial ground with sand and gravel along old meltwater channels and stony, hummocky ridges.

Water is the local problem. The drainage network across this part of Iowa is young and inefficient, and kettles and closed depressions hold water.

Most ground only drains at all because it is tiled.

Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen. That is why an under-built base fails here: the water has nowhere to go and the roadstone above it moves.

Compaction waits for the frost to come out and for the flat ground to shed its spring water. Base and paver work runs from late spring to the fall freeze, and a wet spring shortens that window.

Frost is deep here, and repeated freeze-thaw heaves gravel drives and field entrances as the ground lets go in spring. Any footing depth is set by the local building official.

Questions from Nemaha Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Nemaha?

Class A roadstone is the base course to compact under pavers, because the fines left in the crushed limestone let it bind. Bed the pavers themselves in limestone screenings, which also fill the joints.

On this ground, a clean, open graded stone will not lock up into a base, so keep clean rock for drainage and use roadstone under the pavers.
