Materials for Hennepin Projects

The Illinois River valley and the sand areas put a lot of ground in motion, and coarse stone is what answers it. Rip rap is the heaviest option for slope armoring, culvert outlets and pond edges.

RipRap locks together under its own weight and stays put where a rounded stone would roll.

Below that, #4 Crushed Stone handles construction entrances, trench bottoms and heavy drainage.

For bedding and French drains, the clean washed stone is CA-7. It carries no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting.

3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as CA-11, does the same job at 3/4 inch for pipe bedding and concrete work.

Finer clean stone, CA-16 Chips, beds permeable pavers and tops a compacted base. Below that come the fines: Lime Screenings for paver and flagstone bedding, and Washed Sand, which Illinois yards call torpedo sand, for concrete and leveling.

Ground and Conditions in Hennepin

Across the Illinois River valley and the sand areas, the ground is deep wind-blown and river-laid sand over silt and clay on the low bottoms. Sand takes water quickly and holds almost none, so a base washes and settles rather than staying wet.

That sandy ground dries and works early in the spring, and the season runs into late fall. Low bottoms along the river stay off limits during high water, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material itself.

Wind moves bare sand, and water running across a loose sandy drive cuts ruts fast. Coarse stone at the edges and outlets is what slows that down, and clean washed stone keeps the drainage path open underneath.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Hennepin

What stone should I use for drainage in Hennepin?

Use clean washed stone that carries no fines. CA-7 and CA-11 are the 3/4 inch to 1 inch sizes for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs, and CA-16 Chips work for tighter bedding.

Fines-bearing material like CA-6 belongs under a drive or pad, not in a drain, because the fines stop water from moving through.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery spot clear, reachable and big enough for a dump truck to back in and pull out. The truck tips the load in one pile, so the ground where it lands should be firm and free of overhead wires or low branches.

If the pile is going somewhere specific on the property, move it after it lands.
