Ground on this side of the state is flat glacial till and old lake-bed silt, so what you put down has to move water as well as carry weight.

Materials for Cavour Projects

Washed stone is the clean, open-graded rock that keeps water moving. It goes into drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells, where silt would plug a graded material.

Washed Rock is the usual Dakota name for that clean drainage stone. Size it to the pipe and the trench, and keep the fines out of the bed.

Moving up the size range, #4 Crushed Stone takes heavy water and wet trench bottoms where a big angular rock is needed.

For drives and parking pads, Base Course is the crushed material South Dakota contractors order by name. It compacts into a firm layer under gravel, concrete or asphalt.

Under a slab or a paved drive, Gravel Cushion is the cushion course rolled out to a stable surface. On a gravel drive it acts as the top course.

At the fine end, Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and lock into walk surfaces. Washed Sand levels under slabs and pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Cavour

Across the James River Lowland and Lake Dakota Plain, the ground is flat to gently rolling glacial till over the silt and clay floor of an old glacial lake. There is very little natural relief and little gravel at the surface.

Almost no fall across the lowland means snowmelt and heavy rain sit where they land. The tight lake-bed silts below the topsoil drain very slowly, so drainage stone and a proper base layer matter here.

Runoff after heavy rain sheets across bare ground and cuts ditches, and field runoff crossing a drive gullies it out. Loose flat ground also blows in spring.

Work waits for the ground to dry in spring, and these black soils stay soft longer than they do on the coteau. The season then runs through to freeze-up.

Winters bring deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw, and the flat, heavy ground makes the spring thaw slow and muddy. Frost depth is commonly 42 to 48 inches in this part of the state, with Aberdeen using 48 inches; the local building official sets the figure for a given job.
