Materials for Stephan Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on ground like this. You build the shape with fill, cap it with a growing layer, and only then bring in the crushed material that carries traffic.

Fill Dirt, also called clean fill, raises grade and backfills around a pad before anything goes on top. It is the material that gives a low, uneven spot its new level.

Top Soil, or black dirt, is the screened growing layer for lawns and beds. Over stony glacial till it has to be brought in, because the ground underneath will not grow much on its own.

Garden Soil goes into raised beds, vegetable ground and shelterbelt planting pockets. It holds moisture through a dry, windy summer better than raw subsoil.

Once the grade is right, Base Course is the crushed base layer for drives, parking pads and shop slabs.

Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers. It also mixes into tight clay ground to loosen it.

Ground and Conditions in Stephan

Across the Missouri Coteau, water has nowhere to run. The kettles and sloughs are closed basins, and the shale under the till stops what does soak through, so low ground stays saturated.

That shapes what you put down. A pad that sits in a wet pocket needs fill to lift it clear before any crushed layer goes on, and drainage stone has to be clean so water can move through it.

Washed Rock, or drain rock, is the usual Dakotas word for clean drainage stone. It goes into drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells.

This is hummocky stagnation moraine, a jumble of knobs and closed kettles in stony till, with gravel in the kames. Wind scours the open knobs, runoff cuts the steeper slopes, and the working season is short between the spring thaw and freeze-up.

Winters here are long, cold and windy, with deep frost and hard freeze-thaw cycling on exposed ground. Frost depth is commonly 42 to 48 inches in this part of the state, with the deeper figure used in the northern counties.

What stone should I use for drainage in Stephan?

Use clean stone that lets water pass, not a fines-bearing material that packs tight. Washed Rock is the standard choice for drain tile, drywells and downspout runs.

For heavier drainage and trench bottoms in wet ground, #4 Crushed Stone at about 1 1/2 inches is the larger angular option. Low ground here stays saturated, so clean stone matters.
