Materials for St. Olaf Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of the work here, and it earns its place. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all want stone that holds where it lands and keeps looking right through a wet spring.

Start with the project, then pick the stone.

• Beds and borders: River Rock is rounded gravel washed out of the big river valleys. It lies flat in a bed and stays put under a hose. Large River Rock does the same work at a heavier size for splash pads and bank edges.
• Dry creek beds: Large River Rock gives a dry bed its body, with River Rock filling around it. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is for looks and cover, not for holding a slope.
• Walkways and play areas: 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the small rounded stone Iowa calls Natural Pea Gravel. It works underfoot on paths and around play sets.
• Driveways and farm lanes: Class A Roadstone is the crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts. Top a drive that has thinned out with Driveway Gravel.
• Drains and wet ground: Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through it. Use it for subdrains, pipe bedding and backfill behind a retaining wall.

Ground and Conditions in St. Olaf

Across the Paleozoic Plateau, the driftless northeast, soil sits thin over limestone, dolomite, sandstone and shale. Bedrock shows on the ridgetops and in the valley walls, and the loess cover is patchy.

That ground changes what a base has to do. An under-built base on shallow rock has little to hold it, so the roadstone course has to be built to carry the load rather than counted on to settle into place.

Karst shapes the water. It disappears into sinkholes and fractures instead of running off, springs run year round, and thin soil leaves nowhere for it to sit.

On steep slopes, runoff scours drives and lanes and cuts banks in the narrow valleys.

Steep drives and switchback lanes set the schedule. Work fits between the spring thaw and the fall freeze, and grades get their surfaces topped up in the fall before winter access turns difficult.
