Materials for Pacific Junction Projects

Start with the decorative side. Beds, borders and dry creek beds carry a lot of the yard work around here, and rounded stone does that work well.

• River Rock, sold locally as washed river gravel, is rounded gravel washed out of the Missouri and Mississippi valleys. It suits decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock, or oversized river rock, is the bigger grade. Use it for dry creek beds, splash pads and heavier decorative and bank work.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, which Iowa calls Natural Pea Gravel, is a small rounded stone for walkways, play areas and patio bedding.
• Limestone Screenings, also called screenings or 3/8 inch minus screenings, is the fine material. It beds pavers and flagstone, fills joints and top dresses over a compacted roadstone base.
• Top Soil, sold as screened topsoil or black dirt, is the dark prairie soil for lawn repair, grading and bed prep.

For a driveway or a parking pad, the base course is Class A roadstone: crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. For a drain, pipe bedding or a retaining wall backfill, use Clean Rock, the washed open graded stone that lets water move straight through.

A patio or walkway sits on Walkway Gravel, a finer, walkable surface.

Ground and Conditions in Pacific Junction

Across the Loess Hills and the Missouri River valley, the ground is wind blown silt more than 60 feet deep in places, and 150 to 200 feet in spots. It stands in near vertical faces when dry and cuts deep, steep sided gullies under runoff.

Get it saturated and it collapses or slides. That is why an under-built base on this ground moves, and why the base course matters more than the surface.

Water behaves two ways in this zone. Steep gullies shed it fast, and flat bottom ground with a high water table holds it.

Build bottomland drives up on rock.

Timing follows the same split. Hill work waits for the silt to dry, because wet loess will not hold a cut.

Bottomland work waits for the spring rise to pass, and both run from the thaw into late fall.
