Mason Sand for Patios in Hurley, SD

South Dakota Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hurley, SD, and the working season here runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Wet spells on the silt soils stop a truck and stop compaction with it.

If you are bedding pavers or flatwork, the load you need is base course under the sand. Order by the ton or the yard and pick your date online.

Ground and Conditions in Hurley

Hurley sits in Turner County on the Southeastern till plains and Big Sioux valley ground. Deep silty prairie soils cover most of it, and those soils crust and shed water instead of taking it in.

On a paver patio, that shows up as a thin base losing its shape after a spring of freeze-thaw. The silt holds moisture, the freeze lifts, and the surface settles unevenly.

Frost still goes deep in this part of the state. The residential code adopted in Sioux Falls sets frost depth at 42 inches, and the local building official sets the figure in other towns.

That is footing depth, not a target for a gravel base.

Water is the other half of it. Where the ground will not drain, a bedding layer over wet silt stays wet, and no amount of sand on top fixes that.

Materials for Hurley Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the work that decides how a patio or walk performs. The layers below the surface carry the load, and the sand on top only levels it.

Start with base course. It is the compacted layer under drives, parking pads and shop slabs, and it is what South Dakota contractors order by name.

Above the base, gravel cushion is the cushion course rolled out under concrete and asphalt. In this state it is rolled to a stable surface rather than to a set density.

For the bedding itself, mason sand beds brick, block and pavers and fills the joints between them. washed sand levels under slabs and pavers and mixes into tight clay ground.

Where a patio meets a drive, 3/4 quartzite covers drives, drainage beds and landscape stone. The pink Sioux Quartzite from the southeast corner is the hardest rock sold in this part of the state.

For the joints and the finish, stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack hard on a walk. 3/8 inch crushed stone tops a compacted base and beds pipe.
