Ground and Conditions in Lyons

This corner of the state sits on the Southeastern till plains and Big Sioux valley. Deep silty prairie soils dominate, and they crust over and shed water instead of soaking it in.

A thin base shows its weakness fast here. Water pools at the edge, the surface rutts, and the fines pump up through the stone.

The fix is a thicker compacted layer of base course, built up before anything else goes on top.

Frost still goes deep and freeze-thaw heaves drives, walks and slabs every spring. The working season runs long here, from the spring thaw into late fall, broken by wet spells when the silt soils are too soft to compact.

Wait out those wet spells. Material rolled onto soft ground will not lock up, and the surface will move again the next spring.

Materials for Lyons Projects

Paths and walkways want a fine, hard-packing surface, not the coarse stone a drive takes. Stone screenings, also called crusher dust or chips and dust, do that work.

They bed pavers and flagstone, fill the joints, and pack down hard on a walk.

For a walk that needs to stay walkable and drain, use walkway gravel. It gives a finer surface than a drive and holds up under foot traffic.

Where a rounded, comfortable stone is wanted, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits garden paths, play areas and dog runs. Pair it with Stone Screenings when you want a firm edge and a packed base under the loose top.

For the drive, pad or slab that a path leads to, start with Base Course. It is the compacted layer under drives, parking pads and shop slabs.

Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel to resurface an existing farm or acreage drive.

Where water needs somewhere to go, Washed Rock handles drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells. It is clean stone with no fines to clog the voids.
