This is Des Moines Lobe ground: thick, pebbly glacial till that holds water and needs shaping before anything goes on top.

Materials for Story City Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Get the fill and the soil right and the stone above it behaves.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low ground and backfills ahead of a roadstone course. On this ground, that step comes first.

Top Soil is screened black dirt for lawn repair, grading and bed prep. Spread it where roots and seed have to take.

Garden Soil is blended richer than plain black dirt for raised beds, vegetable gardens and planting areas.

Once the grade is set, cover it. Class A Roadstone is the 3/4 inch crushed limestone base course with the fines left in, so it binds and compacts under drives, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes.

1 Inch Roadstone is the coarser grade. Use it for a new drive, a soft spot or a lane that carries heavy equipment, laid under a finer surface course.

Where water has to move, switch to washed stone. Clean Rock is washed and open graded, so water passes straight through instead of sitting.

Ground and Conditions in Story City

This part of Iowa is pothole country. The drainage network is young, kettles and closed depressions hold water, and most ground only drains because it is tiled.

Snowmelt and spring rain sit on the surface where the ground below is still frozen. That is why a grade has to shed water before it holds anything.

Erosion here is less about slope and more about where runoff concentrates: ditch and tile outlet scour, plus washouts on the moraine ridges.

Compaction waits for frost to come out and for 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.

Winters are long and cold, and repeated freeze-thaw heaves gravel drives, lanes and field entrances as the ground lets go in spring. Frost depth is commonly 42 inches, and the local building official sets footing depth.
