Materials for Medicine Lake Projects
Start with the beds. Large River Rock builds dry creek beds, splash pads under downspouts and heavier border work.
Yellowstone River Rock handles decorative beds and borders, and it holds where bark blows out.
Under the beds, Shredded Mulch sits tight on slopes and in wind on open ground. For play areas, dog runs and walkways, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives you rounded stone rather than sharp faces.
Then the hard surfaces. A drive or a parking area starts with 3/4 Crushed Base Course, the crushed base course this market orders by top size as 3/4 minus.
A county-style lane takes Driveway Gravel, road mix with enough fines to pack hard.
For water, Washed Rock is the clean stone for french drains, curtain drains and downspout runs, where washing the fines out is the point. Riprap armors coulee banks, ditch lines and culvert outlets.
Top Soil covers thin, stony native ground for lawns and bed prep. Fill Dirt raises grade before a base goes down.
Mason Sand beds pavers and works into joints.
Ground and Conditions in Medicine Lake
The ground here is glacial till over shale, a mix of clay, gravel, sand and silt left by ice and glacial lakes. Much of it is heavy and slow to drain.
Coulee and river-bottom alluvium cuts down through it.
That matters most under a drive or a shop pad. A base course over soft, wet till moves and ruts, because the stone has nothing firm to sit on.
Strip what is soft, then build the grade back with pit run or fill dirt before the crushed base course goes down.
Water is the other half. Flat ground and heavy till drain slowly, and spring runoff ponds where the subsoil is still frozen.
Washed rock in a drain carries that water away instead of holding it.
Wind on bare ground, sheet and gully erosion in the coulees, and bank cutting all follow. Riprap and large round rock armor those edges against spring runoff.
The working season is short. Frost is in the ground from late autumn into spring, and compaction waits for it to come out.
Across the Hi-Line and the northern glaciated plains, winters run cold and chinook thaws cycle the surface without taking the frost fully out until spring.
