Materials for De Smet Projects

Base course is the crushed base layer for driveways, parking pads, and shop or shed slabs.

Order it at Base Course.

Gravel cushion is the cushion course rolled out under concrete and asphalt, and the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

See Gravel Cushion.

For resurfacing a farm or acreage drive, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base. For a garden path that needs a finer, walkable surface than a drive, use Walkway Gravel.

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 works for drives, drainage beds and landscape stone.

Order 3/4 Quartzite.

Washed rock handles drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells. Washed rock is the usual Dakotas word for clean drainage stone, sold as Washed Rock.

Sand covers two jobs. Mason sand is for brick and block work, paver joint sand and play sand.

Washed sand is for bedding and leveling under slabs and pavers, and for mixing into tight clay ground.

Topsoil, also called black dirt, builds a real growing layer where the natural ground is stony. Garden soil fills raised beds, shelterbelt planting pockets and vegetable ground.

Fill dirt raises grade and backfills a pad before a base course goes down. Shredded mulch holds moisture through a dry, windy summer.

Ground and Conditions in De Smet

Across the Coteau des Prairies, closed pothole basins have no outlet, so they hold snowmelt and spring rain. The dense till under the topsoil takes water slowly, and yards and drive edges stay wet long after the surface looks dry.

That slow drainage is why a clean washed stone layer matters at drain tile and downspout runs. Water needs somewhere to go, and washed rock gives it an open path instead of a fines-filled one.

Erosion follows the same water. Snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff cut ditches and drive edges on the coteau slopes, and wind scours bare open ground.

Riprap, sized by class from A to F on median rock weight, is the answer at culvert outlets and spillways.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall.

Frozen ground stops compaction, and the frost boil weeks in early spring are the worst time to place material.

Winters here bring deep frost, repeated freeze-thaw and drifting. Gravel drives heave through the winter and soften badly when the frost comes out.

Frost depth is commonly 42 to 48 inches, with the deeper figure used in the northern counties. No statewide figure exists, and the local building official sets it.
