Materials for Curtice Projects

Start with the landscape. Beds, borders and dry creek beds take decorative stone, and that is where most Curtice yards begin.

• Natural Pea Gravel: small rounded stone for play areas, dog runs, walkways and pipe backfill.
• River Rock: decorative beds, borders, walkways and dry creek beds.
• Large River Rock: heavier dry creek beds and erosion work where runoff runs hard.
• RipRap: stream and ditch bank armoring, culvert outlets and pond edges.
• Top Soil: screened topsoil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay subsoil.

Then match the stone to the job. A dry creek bed or a bed edge wants rounded rock, not sharp base stone.

Clean stone by number covers drainage: #57 Limestone, #8 Crushed Stone and #4 Crushed Stone. For sand, Mason Sand sets brick and block, and Washed Sand beds slabs. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through summer heat.

Ground and Conditions in Curtice

You are building on a flat former lake bed. The subsoil is heavy, sticky clay and silt, with sandy beach ridges scattered through it. Clay holds water near the surface; the ridges drain faster. Both matter for what you put on top.

Under-built base fails first on clay. A driveway or pad needs 304 limestone compacted in lifts over fill dirt that has been graded and firmed, not stone thrown on soft ground. Where the ground stays wet, add a clean stone drainage layer so water has somewhere to go.

Timing is part of the work. Clay flats stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground drains and firms. The season then runs into late fall.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and wet clay holds water close to the surface, so poorly drained drives, pads and anything set too shallow heave. Frost depth is set by each local building department; confirm the local figure.

Erosion shows up along banks and ditches after heavy rain. Lots that front Lake Erie or its bays take wave erosion, worst in early spring storms. RipRap and large river rock armor those edges.
