Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base course this part of Iowa builds drives and farm lanes on.

The ground here is thin soil over limestone and sandstone. Water moves down through fractures instead of running off, so washed stone and drainage work matter as much as base rock.

Materials for Ridgeway Projects

Washed stone handles water. Clean rock and the numbered clean sizes are open graded, so water moves straight through instead of sitting against a foundation or a retaining wall.

Use them for French drains, drywells, subdrain and drainage tile backfill, and downspout runs that need to carry roof water away from the house.

Class A roadstone is the crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. It goes under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

Where a lane carries heavy equipment or a soft spot needs rebuilding, 1 inch roadstone is the coarser grade laid under a finer surface course.

Above the base, limestone screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints, and top dress a compacted roadstone surface. Driveway gravel tops an existing drive or lane that has thinned out.

For decorative work, river rock and large river rock dress beds, borders and dry creek beds. Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and patio bedding.

Mason sand mixes mortar and beds pavers; washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Black dirt, which is screened topsoil, repairs lawns and preps beds. Garden soil is blended richer for raised beds and vegetable plots.

Shredded mulch holds moisture through a dry August.

Steep drives and switchback lanes are common on this side of the county, so it helps to know where the pile should land before the truck arrives.

Ground and Conditions in Ridgeway

Across the Paleozoic Plateau, the driftless northeast, the working season runs between the spring thaw and the fall freeze. Steep grades are the constraint.

Winter access on those grades is why surfaces get topped up in the fall, before the ground locks up.

The soil is thin over limestone, dolomite, sandstone and shale, with little glacial cover. Bedrock sits shallow on the ridgetops and shows in the valley walls.

There is nowhere for water to sit, so it disappears into sinkholes and fractures, and springs run year round.

That shapes what you order. A drive on a slope sheds water fast, and runoff scours the surface on the way down.

A compacted roadstone base holds the shape; clean rock gives water a path out instead of letting it work at the edges.

Frost works into fractured rock and thin soil over the winter and breaks up surfaces on steep lanes each spring. Footing depth is set by the local building official.
