Materials for Mitchell Projects

Decorative rock and ground cover carry a lot of the work around Mitchell, where wind across open ground makes bark mulch a short-lived bed cover. River rock and large river rock both hold their place in beds and borders.

River rock suits decorative beds, borders and rock mulch around foundations. Large river rock goes into dry creek beds, draw bottoms and heavier decorative and erosion work where the stone has to stay put.

For paths and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded, walkable choice, and Walkway Gravel gives garden walks a finer surface than a drive. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack down as a hard top for walks.

Driveways are a different order.

Gravel Cushion rolls out as the cushion course under concrete and asphalt and as the crushed top course on a gravel drive.

Drainage and ground cover on tighter sites call for Washed Rock in drain tile, drywells and downspout runs, or Riprap on culvert outlets and stream banks. Top Soil brings in a real growing layer over the local ground.

Ground and Conditions in Mitchell

Across the James River Lowland and Lake Dakota Plain, the ground is flat to gently rolling glacial till over the silt and clay floor of glacial Lake Dakota. Deep dark prairie soils sit on top, with very little natural relief and little gravel at the surface.

That tight lake-bed silt drains slowly, and there is almost no fall across the lowland. Snowmelt and heavy rain sit on the surface instead of running off.

A drive or pad built on ground like this needs a base that carries water away from it, not one that traps it.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Heavy rain sheets across bare flat ground, cuts ditches and gullies where field runoff crosses a drive, and spring wind moves bare soil.

Ground cover and stone that stays in place do real work on that kind of site.

The working season waits for the ground to dry in spring. These flat black soils stay soft far longer than the coteau does, and work then runs through to freeze-up.

Winters bring deep frost and repeated freeze-thaw. Frost depth is commonly 42 to 48 inches across this part of the state, with Aberdeen using 48 inches, and the local building official sets the figure for a given job.
