Start with base course. It is the crushed base layer South Dakota contractors order by, and it carries drives, parking pads, and shop slabs across Sanborn County.

Materials for Artesian Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first on ground like this. Base course, also called aggregate base course or 3/4 minus, is the crushed base layer under a drive, a parking pad, or a shed slab.

Order it at Base Course.

Gravel cushion, also called crusher run, is the cushion course rolled out under concrete and asphalt. It also works as the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

See Gravel Cushion.

Top an existing farm or acreage drive with Driveway Gravel. For a garden path or a walk that needs a finer, walkable surface than a drive, use Walkway Gravel.

Washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock

Washed rock, the usual Dakotas word for clean drainage stone, goes into drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells. Order it at Washed Rock.

Sizes are quoted in inches here, so ask for 1 inch washed rock rather than a number.

3/4 Quartzite is the pink to red Sioux Quartzite quarried around Sioux Falls and Dell Rapids, the hardest rock sold in the southeast corner. It suits drives, drainage beds, and landscape stone.

Stone Screenings bed and joint pavers and flagstone, and pack hard as a top for walks. Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joint sand.

Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Bring in Top Soil for lawns and bed prep, and Garden Soil for raised beds and shelterbelt planting pockets. Fill Dirt raises grade and builds a pad up before a base course goes down.

River Rock mulches beds and borders around foundations, where wind makes bark mulch a losing battle. Riprap armors culvert outlets, dam faces, and stock dam spillways.

Ground and Conditions in Artesian

Water is the driver here. Snowmelt and heavy rain sit on the surface across the James River Lowland and Lake Dakota Plain, because the lowland has almost no fall.

The tight lake-bed silts below the topsoil drain very slowly. Water that cannot move down has to move sideways, so plan where it leaves the site before you plan the surface.

Sheet flow and ditch cutting follow heavy rain. Field runoff crossing a drive gullies it, and bare flat ground blows in spring.

A drainage layer and a stable edge help both.

Ground here is flat to gently rolling glacial till over the silt and clay floor of glacial Lake Dakota, with deep dark prairie soils and little gravel at the surface. That is why a real growing layer for a lawn has to be brought in.

Work waits for the ground to dry in spring. The flat black soils stay soft far longer than the coteau does, and the season then runs to freeze-up.

Winters are cold with deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw, and the flat ground makes the spring thaw slow and muddy. Aberdeen uses a 48 inch frost depth and the local building official sets the figure.
