The ground here is rolling to steep hill country on shale, siltstone and sandstone, and it does not sit still under a load. What you put under a drive or a pad decides how it holds.

Materials for Lost Creek Projects

If you are raising grade or building a pad, fill dirt goes down first. It brings a low corner up or backfills behind a wall, and it takes the bulk of the volume before any base course goes on top.

On top of that fill, Class 1 Base is the heavier base course. It goes under drives, parking pads, shop floors and slabs, and it is the layer to build up when the subgrade is soft ground or old fill.

Where the surface wants to be tighter than the coarse base gives, Crusher Run is the finer class. It also works as a top course over a Class 1 base, and it holds a grade on a hillside drive.

What to Order by Project

Other Materials

• Top Soil for lawns, grading and bed prep over thin, stony hillside soil.
• Fill Dirt for raising grade, filling a washout or backfilling behind a wall.
• #8 Limestone, a small washed chip for paver joints and fine drainage.
• Riprap for creek and hollow banks, culvert outlets and channel work after a washout.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings on a slope, where it knits together and stays put.

Ground and Conditions in Lost Creek

Across the North central plateau and western hills the ground runs to acid stony residuum on the slopes and colluvium in the hollows. That soil does not drain as freely as it looks, and it stays saturated through a long wet spell.

A base built over soft ground or old fill gives way under a load, which is why the heavier Class 1 base goes down before anything finer on top. Where mine regolith has been worked, the ground is looser still.

Slope movement is a real condition in this part of the state, with creek bank scour after heavy rain doing much of the rest. Riprap armours a bank or a culvert outlet so water does not keep cutting.

Work here runs from spring into late fall. A wet spell, not frost, is usually what stops a base job, because saturated ground cannot be compacted.

Spring thaw is when a gravel drive shows what its base is worth. Frost depth is set by the county or municipal official, so confirm the local figure before footing work.

Questions from Lost Creek Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Lost Creek?

Use Class 1 Base as the heavier course where the subgrade is soft ground or old fill, then a finer crusher run class over it where you want a tighter surface. Stone Screenings bed the pavers themselves and fill the joints.

The local class numbers are how the material is specified here, so ask for Class 1 or Class 2 by name.
