Richland sits on the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, where a windblown loess mantle covers old till and a gummy grey clay holds water up near the surface. That ground decides what you pour and what you lay pavers on.

Ground and Conditions in Richland

Start with the failure a thin base shows here. A paver patio or a shed slab set on too little stone rocks, dips at the corners and pumps muddy water after a wet spring.

The clay subsoil under Richland does not take water. Rain perches on it, runs off, and leaves the bottom of a grade soft long after the rest of the yard has dried.

Across the Southern Iowa Drift Plain this is the state's most eroded landscape. Streams cut deep, hillslopes carry fine rills, and gully and bank erosion after heavy rain is why rock goes on slopes and at outlets.

Compaction waits on dry ground. Clay soils need to dry before anything gets packed, so a wet spring pushes base work back several weeks.

Freeze and thaw heave gravel drives and lanes every spring. Footing depth is set by the local building official, and the commonly published frost depth for this part of Iowa is 42 inches.

Materials for Richland Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows first. Get the bedding right and the surface stays flat through freeze and thaw.

Limestone Screenings are the fines left after crushing, sold locally as screenings or 3/8 inch minus screenings. They bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and top dress a compacted roadstone base.

Mason Sand is masonry sand, and it beds brick and block mortar, packs paver joints, and works as play sand or horse arena footing.

Washed Sand is washed fill sand or concrete sand. It beds and levels under slabs and pavers and fills where a clean, free draining grade is wanted.

Under all of it goes Class A Roadstone, the standard Iowa base course. It is 3/4 inch crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Where water has to move, use Clean Rock. It is washed and open graded, so water runs straight through, and it backfills subdrains, drainage tile, pipe bedding and retaining walls.
