Colton sits in Minnehaha County, on the Southeastern till plains and Big Sioux valley, where deep silty prairie soils over glacial till set the ground rules for every drive and pad.

Materials for Colton Projects

Base course is the crushed base layer under drives, parking pads and shop slabs.

Under concrete and asphalt, gravel cushion goes down as the cushion course. On a gravel drive it works as the crushed top course, rolled to a stable surface.

For the wearing surface itself, driveway gravel resurfaces an existing farm or acreage drive and tops a compacted base. Walkway gravel gives paths and walks a finer, walkable surface than a drive.

Washed stone handles water. Washed rock is the clean drainage stone for drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason sand serves brick and block work, paver joint sand and play sand.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil builds a real growing layer for lawns and bed prep over stony till. Garden Soil fills raised beds, shelterbelt planting pockets and vegetable ground.

For decorative beds and borders, river rock holds as rock mulch around foundations where wind makes bark mulch a losing battle.

Ground and Conditions in Colton

Start with where the water goes. Across the Southeastern till plains and Big Sioux valley, silty loess soils crust and shed rain and snowmelt instead of soaking it in.

Shallow quartzite bedrock leaves water nowhere to go in places. That is when a drive turns soft and ruts hold water after a storm.

Spring is the hard season. Sheet erosion strips bare silt soils, and freeze-thaw heaves drives, walks and slabs every year as frost leaves the ground.

Frost depth runs 42 inches under the residential code adopted in Sioux Falls, with the local building official setting the figure in other towns. That is a footing depth, not a target for your gravel base.

The working season here is the longest in the state, from the spring thaw into late fall. Wet spells break it, because silt soils turn too soft to compact.

Plan around the soft ground rather than through it. A clean drainage stone such as washed rock moves water instead of holding it.
