Materials for Mercer Projects

Raising grade and building pads start with fill and sub-base. On ground this uneven, the fill under a pad decides how the pad holds up.

Use Fill Dirt to raise grade, fill low ground and backfill before a gravel course goes down. Use Class 5 as the base over it for driveways, parking pads and shop bases.

For an approach, lane or gravel drive that wants a binding, blade-friendly surface, order Class 13. For red surfacing on paths, yards, lanes and parking areas, order Scoria.

Wet ground needs a drainage layer. Washed Rock goes in drain tile beds, sump discharge, downspout runs and foundation drains.

3/4" Crushed Stone handles drainage, bin and tank pads, pole barn floors and construction entrances.

A patio or walkway needs bedding and joint fill. Stone Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, fill joints and pack into a walking surface.

Mason Sand covers block and brick work, paver joints and sandboxes.

Lawns and beds take Top Soil, which North Dakota yards call black dirt. It repairs grade and preps beds.

Garden Soil fills raised beds, shelterbelt planting pockets and vegetable gardens.

Ground and Conditions in Mercer

This part of the state is hummocky stagnation moraine, left where stagnant glacier ice melted out on the upland. The till is stony and uneven, with pockets of sand and gravel in kames and eskers.

Drainage across the Missouri Coteau is unintegrated. The sloughs and potholes are not connected, so snowmelt and rain sit in closed low spots instead of running off.

That water works on an under-built base. A pad set on bare till moves and settles, so fill goes down first and a compacted gravel course goes over it.

Winters here are long and severe, with deep ground frost, then a hard spring thaw that heaves and softens gravel drives, approaches and township roads. Base, driveway and paver work runs from the end of the thaw into late fall.

Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter, and spring load restrictions slow hauling while the frost comes out. Plan the grade work around that window.

Questions from Mercer Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Mercer?

Start with fill if the grade is low, then a compacted gravel base, then Stone Screenings for bedding. Screenings pack tight and hold a paver course level, and they fill the joints between units.

On the stony, uneven till here, the fill layer under the base is what keeps the finished surface from shifting.
