Materials for Watertown Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most sites, and that work starts with soil and fill. Topsoil, also called black dirt, builds the growing layer a lawn or bed needs over stony ground.

Garden soil is blended for raised beds, vegetable ground and shelterbelt planting pockets. Fill dirt, also called clean fill, raises grade and backfills before any base course goes down.

Once grade is set, the crushed materials carry the load. These are the ones Watertown crews specify:

• Gravel Cushion, the cushion course rolled under concrete and asphalt and the top course on a gravel drive.
• 3/4 Quartzite, the pink Sioux Quartzite from the southeast, used on drives, drainage beds and landscape stone.
• Washed Rock, clean stone for drain tile, drywells, sump and downspout runs, and window wells.

Sand and decorative stone round out a load. Mason sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints.

Washed sand, also called concrete sand, beds and levels under slabs and pavers. River rock and large river rock hold decorative beds and rock mulch where wind strips bark mulch away.

Ground and Conditions in Watertown

Watertown sits on the Coteau des Prairies, a high plateau under deep glacial till. Stony loam covers dense till, with sand and gravel outwash along old meltwater channels.

That ground takes water slowly. Closed pothole basins across the coteau have no outlet, so snowmelt and spring rain sit in them and in the low spots around a yard.

Drive edges and yard corners stay wet long after the surface looks dry. A drainage layer of washed rock or clean stone gives that water somewhere to go.

Runoff off the slopes cuts ditches and drive edges, and bare open ground scours in the wind. Riprap and large river rock armor the places water moves fastest.

Work runs from the spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and the frost boil weeks in early spring are the worst stretch to place material.

Winters here bring deep frost, repeated freeze-thaw and drifting. Gravel drives heave through the winter and soften when the frost comes out.
