Water has nowhere to run across the Missouri Coteau. That shapes what you put down and how you build it up.

Ground and Conditions in Miller

This is hummocky stagnation moraine, a jumble of knobs and closed kettles in stony glacial till over Pierre shale. Gravel sits in the kames, and the flats carry a lot of stone.

Water has nowhere to run. The kettles and sloughs are closed basins, and the shale under the till stops what does soak through.

Low ground stays saturated. A thin layer of base course spread over that ground pumps and rut under a loaded truck or a wet spring.

Build the grade up first. Fill dirt raises a pad above the wet pockets, then base course goes down over the top as a compacted layer.

Exposed knobs take wind scour, and the steeper coteau slopes cut from runoff. Long, cold, windy winters bring deep frost, heavy drifting and hard freeze-thaw cycling on bare ground.

The working season is short between the spring thaw and freeze-up. Wind and drifting stay a factor well into spring and return from late fall.

Materials for Miller Projects

Start with fines and screenings when the job is a path or a walk. Stone screenings pack down hard under a rake and a roller, and they hold a firm, walkable surface.

Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints between them. Spread over a compacted base, they give a walk the tight top that loose gravel cannot hold.

For a garden path that wants a softer surface, Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded, walkable stone. It suits dog runs, play areas and light drainage where sharp edges are not wanted.

Base course is the crushed base layer you build the drive and pad on.

Gravel cushion goes under concrete and asphalt as the cushion course. It also works as the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

Washed rock handles drainage: drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs and window wells. Clean stone passes water instead of trapping it.

Washer sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers, and it mixes into tight clay ground. Mason sand covers brick and block work and paver joint sand.

Topsoil and garden soil rebuild a growing layer over stony till or over gumbo. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through a dry, windy summer.

• Stone Screenings for paver bedding, joint filling and hard-packed walks.
• Walkway Gravel for garden paths that need a finer, walkable surface.
• 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for paths, play areas and dog runs.
• Base Course for driveways, parking pads and shop slabs.
• Washed Sand for bedding and leveling under slabs and pavers.

Think about where that pile should land before the truck arrives. Keep the spot clear and reachable, and keep it off soft, saturated ground that will not carry the truck.
