Base course is the crushed base layer most drives and pads start from.

Materials for Madison Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on a Madison lot, and that means soil and fill before stone. Deep glacial till sits under the topsoil here, so a lawn or a garden bed needs a real growing layer brought in.

Top Soil, also called black dirt, builds that layer for lawns and bed prep. Garden Soil fills raised beds, vegetable ground and shelterbelt planting pockets.

Fill Dirt, or clean fill, raises grade and backfills before any base course goes down. Build the pad up first, then cap it.

Once grade is set, the base family takes over.

Gravel Cushion is the cushion course under concrete and asphalt, and the crushed top course on a gravel drive. Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing farm or acreage drive.

Washed stone handles water. Washed Rock goes in drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells.

Quote sizes in inches here, the way local yards sell them.

3/4 Quartzite is the pink Sioux Quartzite from the southeast corner, and it is the hardest rock sold in this part of the state. Use it on drives, drainage beds and landscape stone.

Sand and decorative round out the order. Mason Sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints.

River Rock mulches beds and borders where wind makes bark mulch a losing battle.

Ground and Conditions in Madison

Start with where the water goes. Across the Coteau des Prairies, closed pothole basins have no outlet, so snowmelt and spring rain sit until the ground takes them.

The dense till under the topsoil drains slowly. Yards and drive edges stay wet long after the surface looks dry, which is why a drainage layer earns its place.

Runoff from snowmelt and thunderstorms cuts ditches and drive edges on the slopes, and wind scours bare open ground. Riprap and washed stone hold those edges.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall, and frozen ground stops compaction.

The frost boil weeks in early spring are the worst time to place material. Gravel drives heave through the winter and soften badly when the frost comes out.

What stone should I use for drainage in Madison?

Washed Rock is the clean drainage stone for drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells. For heavier flow, 3/4 Quartzite works in drainage beds.

Around the Coteau des Prairies, where closed basins hold snowmelt and the till drains slowly, a clean open stone keeps water moving instead of sitting.
