Ground and Conditions in McIntosh

Across the Northwestern plateaus and buttes, the ground runs to clay and sandy clay over soft shale, with gumbo on the flats. A thin base over that ground shows its failure fast.

The clay sheds water instead of taking it in. Spring runoff fills the draws quickly and leaves them dry for weeks after.

Gumbo is unworkable when wet and dries hard once the wind takes the moisture. That short working season sets the pace on any grade work.

Wind moves bare clay and loose sand, and water cuts gullies in the soft shale. A drive edged with clean stone holds its shape better than bare ground.

Winters here are the most exposed in the state, with deep frost, high wind and drifting snow. Frost depth is commonly 42 to 48 inches this far north, though no statewide figure applies and the local building official sets it.

Materials for McIntosh Projects

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

Use Stone Screenings for a walk that stays firm.

Walkway gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than a drive takes. Walkway Gravel suits garden paths and walks between beds.

Natural Pea Gravel, or pea rock, is rounded and easy underfoot. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel works for paths, play areas and dog runs.

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

Base Course goes down under the surface you see.

Gravel cushion, also called crusher run, is the cushion course under concrete and asphalt and the top course on a gravel drive. Gravel Cushion rolls to a stable surface.

Washed rock, or drain rock, is clean stone for drain tile, drywells, sump runs and window wells. Washed Rock lets water move instead of holding it.

Riprap, sized by class from A to F, armors culvert outlets, dam faces and spillways. Riprap takes the force where runoff leaves a pipe.

Questions About Ordering in McIntosh

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and make sure the truck can reach it. The driver tips the load in one pile and does not spread or place it, so pick a spot you can work from.

Keep gates open, move vehicles and equipment out of the way, and mark anything overhead the truck box could catch, such as wires or low branches.

What is the best base under pavers in McIntosh?

Base course is the crushed base layer for a paver area, and it takes the load the pavers pass down. Over the clay and gumbo ground across the Northwestern plateaus and buttes, a base that holds its shape matters more than one that looks smooth.

Bed the pavers themselves on stone screenings, which pack hard and fill the joints.
