Materials for Jackson Center Projects

Grading and bed prep drive most orders here, so start with soil. Screened Top Soil goes down for lawns and final grading, screened to take out stones and roots. Garden Soil feeds raised beds and planting areas. Where grade has to come up first, Fill Dirt raises low spots and backfills before a base or topsoil goes on.

Once grade is set, the base stone matters. 2A Modified is the standard base in this market, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. For drainage and bedding, #89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone that settles into tight joints, and Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Jackson Center

Snowmelt and heavy rain have to go somewhere. In many places water perches above the dense till layer from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet. Wet ground will not compact, and base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground.

Where water sits, use clean stone instead of a compacting base. 2B Stone and #57 Stone are washed crushed stone with no fines, so water moves through and the stone stays loose. That suits French drains, drainage behind retaining walls and shed pads in wet areas.

The same runoff scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and cuts into stream banks. RipRap armors those spots, with R-4 for ditches and the larger R-5 to R-7 sizes for banks and streambanks. Long, cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and soils that stay wet above the dense layer are prone to frost heave under a thin base. Frost depth is commonly 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality.
