Materials for Turner Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for. Soft silt needs fill and sub-base before anything finished goes on top.

Start with Fill Dirt to build up low ground and backfill. It goes in before a graded base course, not instead of one.

Then bring in Quarry Run, raw rock straight from the pit face. It builds up soft ground and raises grade.

It is not crushed material and it will not compact like a graded base.

For the base itself, use 3/4 Minus. Crushed rock graded 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases.

Where water has to move instead of sit, switch to clean stone. Drain Rock is washed and open, for French drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Under pavers and flagstone, bed with 1/4 Minus. The fines product Oregon yards sell as quarter minus.

Ground and Conditions in Turner

Across the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, the valley floor is deep slackwater silt laid down by the ice-age Missoula floods. Foothill ground runs to red clay and silty clay loam.

River gravel follows the Willamette and its tributaries.

That silt and clay sheds water slowly, and the lowlands carry a seasonal high water table. An under-built base loses its shape in winter and stays soft into spring.

Winter rain also runs off bare silt and scours banks. Armor culvert outlets, pond edges and cut slopes with RipRap, specified locally by class.

Portland treats October 1 to April 30 as the wet weather season and requires bare ground stabilized within two days. From May 1 to September 30 the window is seven days.

Base and paving work concentrates in the dry season.

Winters are mild and wet, with only short freezes. Frost heave is a minor problem next to winter saturation and soft subgrade.

The frost depth for this part of Oregon is 12 inches, and the county sets it.
