The dark prairie clay here decides what a yard needs. Grade it, feed it, or cover it, and the load list changes.

Materials for Steens Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill. Build the grade first, then dress the surface.

That order keeps a lawn, a bed, or a pad from sinking into prairie clay.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Top Soil builds a workable layer over tight clay or washed-out ground. Spread it for lawns and beds where the native soil will not support roots.

Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas. It sits above heavy clay so roots drain instead of standing in water.

Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base course goes down. Use it to build up a pad, then cap it.

Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds and keeps soil in place on slopes through heavy summer rain.

Base and Driveway Stone

610 Limestone, also called 610, is the compacting base for driveways, parking pads, shed pads and patio sub-base. Size No.

Clay Gravel is pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines to bind and pack. It has long been the drive and farm-road surface where a graded, compacting layer is wanted over soft ground.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Washed Stone, Sand and Decorative

#57 Limestone and #67 Stone handle French drains, foundation drains and concrete aggregate.

Masonry Sand beds brick and block work and fills paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels. It suits walkways, play areas and decorative beds.

Ground and Conditions in Steens

Rain and storm water move slowly here. Across the Black Prairie, the ground is flat to gently undulating clay that takes water very slowly.

Water stands, the clay softens, and a thin base disappears into it. Depth of base and a separation layer matter more than they do on sandy ground.

The soil is dark, fine clay formed on Cretaceous chalk and marl. It shrinks and cracks open when dry, swells when wet, and turns to grease after rain.

Chalk sits close to the surface in places.

Erosion shows as slow sheet flow and rutting rather than gullies. Low-gradient prairie streams slough at the banks, and clay slumps wherever a slope is cut.

Work runs nearly year-round, but prairie clay can stay too wet to compact for weeks after a heavy winter rain. Movement comes from the clay taking up and giving off water, not from frost.
