Ground and Conditions in Fairview

This corner of the state sits on loess-mantled glacial till, with deep silty prairie soils across the Southeastern till plains and Big Sioux valley. That silt crusts over and sheds water instead of taking it in.

A thin base shows the failure fast here. The surface ruts, pumps and breaks up at the edges after a wet spell.

Bare silt on a slope also sheets off in spring, and the dissected slopes gully where water gathers.

Frost still goes deep and freeze-thaw heaves drives, walks and slabs every spring. Under the residential code adopted in Sioux Falls, frost depth is 42 inches, and the local building official sets the figure in other towns.

The working season runs from the spring thaw into late fall, the longest in the state. Wet spells shut it down when the silt soils are too soft to compact.

Materials for Fairview Projects

Fines and screenings do the fine work on paths and walks. Stone screenings, also called crusher dust or chips and dust, pack hard and bed pavers and flagstone.

They also fill the joints and give a walk a firm, tight surface.

For a walkable path with a softer feel, use Natural Pea Gravel, or pea rock. It suits paths, play areas, dog runs and light drainage.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded stone for that.

Under any path or pad, base course is the crushed base layer.

Base Course goes under driveways, parking pads and shop slabs.

Where concrete or asphalt goes on top, gravel cushion is the course rolled out beneath it. It is a South Dakota term, rolled to a stable surface.

Gravel Cushion also tops gravel drives.

For drainage, washed rock, also called drain rock or clean rock, is the usual Dakotas word. It serves drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs and window wells.

Washed Rock stays open because it carries no fines.

Sioux quartzite is the hardest rock sold in the southeast corner, quarried around Sioux Falls and Dell Rapids. 3/4 Quartzite takes drives, drainage beds and landscape stone.
