Ground and Conditions in Estelline

The ground across the Coteau des Prairies is deep glacial till under a stony loam. Sand and gravel outwash runs along old meltwater channels, and thousands of closed pothole basins sit on the plateau.

Those basins have no outlet. Snowmelt and spring rain collect in them, and the dense till below the topsoil takes water slowly.

Yard edges and walkway borders stay wet long after the surface looks dry. A path built on a thin layer of fines punches through at the wet spots and ruts under a wheelbarrow.

Snowmelt and thunderstorm runoff also cut at drive edges and slopes on the coteau. Wind scours any bare open ground.

Base, drive 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.

Gravel drives heave over winter and soften when the frost comes out.

Materials for Estelline Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walks. They pack hard and give you a surface you can walk on without sinking.

Stone Screenings are the bedding and joint material for pavers and flagstone. They also make a hard-packing top for a garden walk.

Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than a drive takes. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded and comfortable underfoot for paths, play areas and dog runs.

It goes under driveways, parking pads and shop and shed slabs.

Order it as Base Course.

Gravel Cushion is the cushion course rolled out under concrete and asphalt.

It also works as the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

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