Materials for Ludlow Projects

Base course, also called aggregate base course or 3/4 minus, is the compacted crushed base for drives, parking pads and shop slabs.

Gravel cushion is the South Dakota name for the cushion course rolled out under concrete and asphalt. It also works as the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

Driveway Gravel resurfacing suits an existing farm or acreage drive. It also tops a compacted base where the surface has gone loose.

Washed stone handles water. Washed Rock goes in drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs and window wells, and 3/8" Crushed Stone beds pipe and tops a compacted base.

Sand and soil round out the yard. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Top Soil builds a growing layer over gumbo and stony ground.

Ground and Conditions in Ludlow

Across the Northwestern plateaus and buttes, tight shale clays shed water instead of soaking it in. Rain and spring runoff fill the draws fast and leave them dry for weeks.

That runoff has to go somewhere. A drive that holds water on the clay surface softens and ruts, so drainage matters as much as the stone you put down.

Gully cutting in the soft shale and undercutting of sandstone butte rims are the erosion you see here. On bare clay and loose sand, wind does the rest.

Riprap and larger stone hold culvert outlets, dam faces and spillways.

The working season is short and the hauls are long. Clay flats are unworkable when wet, and wind dries them out quickly once the rain stops.

Winters here are the most exposed in the state, with deep frost, high wind, drifting snow and repeated freeze-thaw on bare clay. Frost depth is commonly 42 to 48 inches this far north, and the local building official sets the figure that applies to your job.
