Ground here sits on river terraces and floodplain, with sandy stretches that drain fast and low ground that holds water. That shapes what goes under a patio and what goes around it.

Ground and Conditions in Wilton

Sand, gravel, silt and clay sit under the terraces and floodplain, with sandy blow ground on the older terraces and till and loess rising behind the bluff line.

Set pavers or a slab on a base that has thinned out and the surface rocks, dips and drops at the corners. Water finds the low spots and the bedding washes out from under the edges.

The repair is a base that binds and a bedding layer that holds its shape. Class A roadstone is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it knits together and stays put under a patio or a walk.

Across the Mississippi River corridor, spring snowmelt raises the river and backs water up the tributary mouths, flooding low ground long after local rain stops. Low lying work waits for that crest to pass before base goes in.

Upland work follows the ordinary thaw to fall freeze pattern. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, enough to heave gravel drives and river road surfaces each spring.

Materials for Wilton Projects

Bedding is where a patio succeeds or fails. Limestone screenings, also called screenings or 3/8 inch minus screenings, are the fines that bed pavers and flagstone, fill the joints and dress the surface over a compacted base.

Under that bedding, Class A roadstone carries the load. It is the standard Iowa base course for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes, and it compacts into a surface that holds.

Where a new drive or a soft spot needs a coarser start, 1 inch roadstone goes down first, under a finer surface course. Washed sand beds and levels slabs and pavers, and works as clean fill where a free draining grade is wanted.

Mason sand mixes into brick and block mortar, fills paver joints and beds play areas. For a looser, free draining drive surface, 3/4 inch clean stone is washed and open graded, so water moves straight through.

Clean rock handles subdrains, drainage tile backfill, pipe bedding and septic rock. 3/8 inch washed chips, sold as washed chips, cover seal coat, fine drainage and paver joints.
