Materials for Sisseton Projects

Washed stone is the place to start if you are fighting water. Snowmelt and spring rain sit in the closed basins across the Coteau des Prairies, and the dense till under the topsoil takes it in slowly.

Yards and drive edges stay soft long after the surface looks dry.

Washed Rock, also called drain rock or clean rock, is clean drainage stone with no fines to hold water. It goes into drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells.

Size matters more than the name. South Dakota yards sell washed stone by the inch, so #57 Stone is a one inch washed rock for drainage, drain tile beds and concrete aggregate.

#4 Crushed Stone is a 1 1/2 inch clean rock for heavy drainage, approaches and trench bottoms in wet ground.

For tighter work, #8 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone for fine drainage and paver joints, and #89 Crushed Stone goes into tight bedding and joint filling. Both are washed, so both pass water.

Where a rounded stone is wanted, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits paths, dog runs and light drainage. Stone Screenings pack hard and bed pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Sisseton

Time your order to the working season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the spring thaw into late fall across this part of the state.

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.

This part of the state gets deep frost, repeated freeze-thaw and drifting. Any frost depth figure comes from the local building official, so check with yours before you set a footing.

Runoff from snowmelt and thunderstorms cuts ditches and drive edges on the coteau slopes. A clean drainage layer under a drive edge or downspout outlet gives that water somewhere to go.
