Start with 610 limestone, the Louisiana base size. It carries everything from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

610 limestone is the state base size and the one a Louisiana buyer names first. Louisiana DOTD specifies aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, with the soundness and abrasion requirements in Subsection 1003.01.

An aggregate source has to meet Section 1003 to be listed on the department's approved materials list. A 610 base goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Crushed concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

Shop it as Crushed Concrete and the limestone base as 610 Limestone.

Water sits close to the surface across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, so the drainage layer is the part that has to work. Select fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling.

Select Fill goes under a base course, not under a lawn. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair, over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Garden Soil suits raised beds and vegetable gardens, which matter on ground that sits wet. For masonry and paver setting beds, order Mason Sand or Washed Sand.

Riprap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. Rounded stone does not lock together, so decorative River Rock and Large River Rock stay away from banks.

Ground Conditions Across Allen Parish

The southwest coastal prairie terraces are level Pleistocene terrace ground, with a silt loam surface over a dense clay subsoil. A tight claypan often sits close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike.

The claypan is the driver. Rain gets through the silt loam surface, reaches the dense subsoil and stops, so water perches in the top foot and the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off. A thin base course over that soft layer shows the failure early, with ruts and pumping where the fines work up through the stone.

The fix is a base that carries its own strength and a drainage layer that moves water away. Erosion adds its own problem: sheet flow across bare terrace ground, ditch and coulee scour, and rill cutting on fresh grade before it is covered.

Work runs year round, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Louisiana's design criteria are about wind and water, so frost depth does not figure into a base here.

Choosing the Right Material

Rapides Parish and Vernon Parish sit on coastal plain uplands, sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays. That ground rolls rather than lies flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws, and it drains more freely.

On lighter, better drained ground, a 610 limestone base still does the work and drainage is less of a fight. In Allen Parish the claypan decides the choice, so a clean open graded stone for drainage matters more.

Evangeline Parish shares the southwest coastal prairie terraces ground, so the soil, the claypan and the water behaviour are the same there. Same ground, same base and drainage reasoning.
