Ground conditions across Wheeler County
Across the Sandhills and the Niobrara country, the ground is grass-stabilized sand dunes over deep loose dune sand. There is almost no clay and no rock in it.
Wet meadows and shallow lakes sit in the valleys between the dunes, and loess and glacial till cover the tablelands north of the Niobrara.
Dune sand takes water almost as fast as it falls, and there is very little surface runoff. Holding a surface together matters more than shedding water.
An under-built base on loose sand ruts and shifts as soon as it is wet. Long cold winters bring hard freezes and repeated thaw cycles, and loose sand heaves less than clay but still moves when it is unbound.
Work runs from the spring thaw to late autumn. Blowing sand is at its worst in spring, before the grass comes back.
Choosing the right material
Holt County shares this ground. It also sits on grass-stabilized sand dunes over deep loose dune sand, broken by wet meadows and shallow lakes.
The base and drainage choice is the same on both sides of the line.
Antelope County and Greeley County are different ground. Both sit in the Central Loess Hills and the Loup valleys, on rolling to steep loess hills cut by broad braided floodplains.
Deep silt covers the uplands there, with sand and gravel alluvium in the valley bottoms. Silt goes soft when it is wet, so a base there has to hold up under water that dune sand would swallow.
Match the material to the ground you are on. On sand, crushed rock gives you a bound, compacted layer.
Where water stands, clean stone such as Drain Rock or #67 Stone lets it move.
