Silty loess over glacial clay till makes that order matter. Grade first, then build on top of it.

Materials for Pickering Projects

Most jobs here start with ground that needs shaping before anything goes down. That puts soil and fill first, then base, then the stone on top.

Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low spots, and backfills before a base rock course goes on. Top Soil finishes that work: lawn and bed prep over clay, rock, or fresh fill.

Garden Soil goes into raised beds and planting areas where you want a workable mix instead of native ground. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and tree rings through hot summers.

Once the grade is right, build the surface:

• Base Rock (base rock.
• Driveway Gravel to surface an existing drive or top a compacted base rock course.
• Walkway Gravel for paths that need a finer, walkable finish.
• Screenings, also called limestone screenings, for paver, flagstone, and patio bedding.

Wet ground needs washed stone, not base. Use #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean, for French drains, septic fields, and concrete aggregate. It has no fines, so water moves through it.

Ground and Conditions in Pickering

Rain and snowmelt decide most of the work here. Water perches on the clay subsoil and stands on flat ground from late fall into spring. Heavy spring rain floods creek and river bottoms.

So plan where the water goes before you order. Fill Dirt raises low spots that hold melt. Base Rock compacts into a firm, binding course where traffic runs. Washed stone like 1 inch clean handles the drainage paths and outlets. Skip the washed stone and your base sits in water.

Runoff also cuts rills and gullies in loess and till slopes, worst on bare or freshly graded ground. High water scours creek and river banks. Rip rap armors those banks and culvert outlets.

Timing matters. Upland clay stays wet and soft from late fall into spring. Base and driveway work goes best from late spring into fall, between the wet season and the first hard freeze. January nights here average well below freezing while many days thaw, so the ground freezes and thaws over and over. Frost depth is the deepest in Missouri, and the local building code sets footing depth.
