Materials for Glen Haven Projects

Most jobs around here start with dirt you have to move or grade you have to raise. Fill dirt is screened fill for bringing a low spot up to grade, and it goes down before anything else. It links to Fill Dirt.

Once the pad is shaped, breaker run goes on. It is coarse crushed stone with the fines left in, and it bridges soft or clay ground that would swallow a finer material. Cap it with traffic bond and you have a base that packs hard. Breaker run links to Breaker Run, and traffic bond links to 3/4" Traffic Bond.

For a driveway or a parking pad, order traffic bond. It is the dense graded base Wisconsin yards sell. Some yards label the same material road gravel.

For a patio or a walkway, start with a compacted traffic bond base, then bed the pavers in screenings. Screenings pack tight and level, which is what keeps pavers from rocking. Order Screenings for the bedding layer under pavers.

For drainage, 3/4 inch crushed stone and clear stone handle French drains, downspout runs and backfill against a foundation. For those drainage jobs, start with 3/4" Crushed Stone.

Ground and Conditions in Glen Haven

The ground here is silt loam over sandstone and dolomite, thin and stony on steep slopes, with sandy river deposits down on the valley floors. That silt holds water. A thin base on a slope or at a hillside seep will rut the first spring it sees.

Rain and snowmelt run fast off the ridges into narrow valleys. Where the bedrock is shallow, water also moves through cracks, sinkholes and springs. Plan drainage, not just fill.

Frost drives the base depth. Frost reaches at least 48 inches under pavement by late winter, and silty soil softens as it comes out. Build breaker run thick enough that thawing subgrade does not pump up into your traffic bond.

Do the base work between the end of spring thaw and late fall. Wet silt ruts easily on grades, and low valley sites should allow for high water after big storms. Posted county and town roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out.
