Materials for Murdo Projects

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

Over that base, gravel cushion is the cushion course rolled out under concrete and asphalt. On a gravel drive it is the crushed top course you drive on.

For a finished drive surface, driveway gravel resurfaces an existing farm or acreage drive and tops a compacted base. Walkway gravel gives paths and walks a finer, walkable surface than a drive.

Washed stone handles water. Washed rock, also called drain rock or clean rock, goes in drain tile, drywells, sump runs and window wells.

Riprap is sized by class from A to F on median rock weight and armors culvert outlets, dam faces and spillways.

Sand and soil round out a site. Mason sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints.

Washed sand levels under slabs and pavers. Top soil builds a growing layer for lawns and beds.

Ground and Conditions in Murdo

Across the Pierre shale plains and Missouri breaks, the ground is weathered Pierre shale, the sticky swelling clay everyone here calls gumbo. Thin clay soils sit over it on rolling plains.

Gumbo sheds water rather than taking it in. Rain runs straight off, and what does soak in makes the clay swell and stay soft for days.

That shapes what you order. A driveway needs a base course that stands up on soft ground, and low spots need washed rock so water has somewhere to go instead of sitting on the clay.

Timing matters as much as the calendar. How wet the gumbo is decides whether ground is workable, so the season runs from the spring dry-out to freeze-up.

Winters here are cold, open and windy, with deep frost and hard freeze-thaw cycling. Drives heave in winter and turn to gumbo when the frost comes out.
