How to install Railroad Ballast

  1. 1
    Strip & compact subgrade

    Remove organics; proof-roll the subgrade until it tightens up.

  2. 2
    Lay in lifts

    Place in 4" lifts; compact each lift to 95%+ modified Proctor.

  3. 3
    Moisture-condition

    A light mist before compacting helps fines bind without flooding.

  4. 4
    Check elevations

    Final base should be smooth, dense, and within 1/4" of grade.
