Materials for Valleyford Projects

Raising grade and building up a pad is the work this ground asks for first. Soft spots and low corners show up fast, and a granular course over them keeps the finished surface from moving.

Start with Fill Dirt to lift grade and backfill over-excavated areas. It is common borrow, an unscreened fill, so it goes down before any structural layer.

Then bring in 1 1/4 Minus as the base course under a drive, a parking area or a slab. It carries load and stays workable on soft wet ground.

Top it with 5/8 Minus, also called crushed surfacing top course. Fines left in let it compact into a hard surface that sheds water.

For a long rural approach or equipment parking, Driveway Gravel is sold as a blend alongside the graded surfacing courses.

Around the buildings, Drain Rock handles footing drains, French drains and infiltration trenches. It is washed, so it keeps its voids instead of packing tight.

Ground and Conditions in Valleyford

The Spokane Valley sits on cobbles, gravel and sand left by the Ice Age floods, with a thin loess cap on the ground south and west of the city. That gravel is open enough that water moves through the aquifer below at up to 60 feet a day.

Easy infiltration cuts both ways. Anything on the surface goes down with the water, and the aquifer has carried a federal sole source designation since 1978.

Compacted fill and shallow basalt shelves are where the wet spots show up. An under-built base on either one will not hold, which is why the fill and sub-base work comes before the finish course.

Runoff cuts the loess on the hills south of the city, and spring thaw gullies the draws and road ditches. Sediment moves into recharge ground when a site is left open.

Eastern Washington's wet weather season for erosion control runs October 1 through June 30. Summers are long and dry, good for base and paving work, with a hard stop once the ground freezes.

Winters freeze the ground to depth and the thaw that follows works on unbound surfaces. Spokane sets its footing depth well below the western Washington figure for that reason, at a frost depth of 24 inches in the Spokane Municipal Code design criteria.

Questions About Ordering in Valleyford

What is the best base under pavers in Valleyford?

Use 1 1/4 minus as the structural course, then bed the pavers on crusher dust, also called screenings or 3/8 minus. Screenings are a minus product, so they compact rather than drain, which is what a setting bed needs.

Where you want a washed, fines-free bed instead, 3/8 clean works for permeable pavers. Sweep the same material into the joints.
