Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Wet spots plague plenty of West Frankfort yards, especially where subsoil turns tight and clay heavy. Rather than fighting it, cut a shallow swale and line it with washed river rock to move runoff toward the street or a rain garden. Grade the channel at roughly a one percent fall. Two yards of two inch stone handles a typical thirty foot West Frankfort run.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

West Frankfort soil that stays wet also stays cold, which delays spring planting by a week or two. Wait until the ground crumbles instead of smearing in your hand before tilling, usually mid to late April here. Working wet silt loam destroys structure and creates concrete like clods that last all season. A little patience beats a summer of fighting compacted beds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For West Frankfort walkways and patio bases, use three quarter inch minus compactable gravel, not clean washed rock. Lay four inches, compact in two inch lifts, then top with a one inch bed of coarse sand for pavers. Clean stone shifts underfoot and swallows sand. A 10 by 12 patio needs roughly one and a half yards of base plus a half yard of sand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

What stone should I use in a French drain here in West Frankfort?

Use clean washed one to two inch stone, wrapped in a non woven filter fabric with a perforated pipe at the bottom. Clean stone keeps voids open so water moves. Avoid crusher run or anything with fines, since those pack tight and the drain silts up within a couple of West Frankfort winters.

Answer

Will a rain garden actually work in West Frankfort clay?

It can, but you have to amend it. Excavate 18 to 24 inches and backfill with a mix of roughly 60 percent sand, 20 percent compost, and 20 percent native soil so water infiltrates. Then plant with switchgrass, blue flag iris, and swamp milkweed, all of which handle wet feet and zone 7a winters.

Answer

How do I keep river rock from sinking into soft ground?

Lay woven landscape fabric under the stone and give the channel a firm, graded bottom before spreading. Two to three inches of rock over fabric stays visible for years. Without fabric, West Frankfort silt loam works up through the voids and weeds root in the sediment within a single season.
