Drewsey sits in the Basin and Range, Klamath and Owyhee Country, where closed basins hold snowmelt on playa and alkali ground. That wet, silty ground is why a patio or paver area needs the right bedding under it before anything else goes down.

Materials for Drewsey Projects

Bedding is the layer that decides whether pavers and flatwork stay flat. Get it wrong and the surface rocks, dips and shifts.

Get it right and the pavers sit tight for years.

Start with 1/4 Minus, also called quarter minus or crushed fines. The fines let it grade smooth and lock up under pavers, flagstone and slab edges.

Over a compacted base it also makes a fine topping for paths.

The base under that bedding is 3/4 Minus, also called 3/4-0 or dense-graded base rock. Crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up hard.

Soft or low ground takes Quarry Run first. Raw rock straight from the pit face builds up grade before a graded base course goes on top.

Drainage around a patio needs open stone, not fines. Drain Rock, also called washed drain rock or 1 1/2 clean, is washed and open so water moves through it.

Use it in French drains and downspout runs.

Finish beds and borders with Willamette River Rock, rounded water-worn stone for decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Drewsey

This part of the state runs under 15 inches of precipitation a year. The basins are closed, so snowmelt and storm water have nowhere to go and sit on playa and alkali ground.

A thin base shows its failure fast here. It pumps, ruts and loses its grade where the ground underneath stays soft.

The fix is enough compacted base to bridge that soft layer, not a skim coat over it.

Wind moves bare playa and alkali flats, and sheet flow off the rims carries silt into the basins during snowmelt and summer storms. Fines that migrate into a clean drainage layer clog it, which is why washed stone matters around a patio edge.

The working season is short, bounded by hard frost at both ends. Frozen ground and soft spring basins both stop compaction, so base work has to happen when the ground is workable.

Cold winters at 4,000 feet and above bring sustained freezing, and Klamath County publishes 24 inches below grade for foundation design at that elevation.
