Materials for Baker Projects

Fill and sub-base do the heavy lifting on most Baker jobs, because so much work here starts with raising grade or building a pad up out of wet ground. Select Fill compacts instead of settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

River silt, the fine alluvial fill Louisiana yards list beside fill dirt and spillway dirt, does the same grade raising job.

Once the pad is up, the base goes down. 610 limestone is the Louisiana base material: stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork. Road Base is the other base option, recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For a driveway surface, #57 limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines, and 3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea sold by inch size. Both work as drive surfacing and trench backfill.

For a patio or walkway, 3/8" Crushed Stone and Stone Screenings bed pavers, and Mason Sand gives a smooth paver setting bed.

For drainage, Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage and erosion work.

Ground and Conditions in Baker

The silt on these bluffs takes water readily and then carries it. That is the opposite of the clay problem found elsewhere in Louisiana, and it brings its own trouble: water moving through and over fine silt cuts channels fast, and a drive built across a slope becomes the channel.

Bare silt gullies more readily than almost any other soil in the state, and the bluffs retreat wherever the cover is off. A base that was not built to shed water will not hold, no matter what is spread on top of it.

Wet silt will not compact, and it moves when it is wet. Work runs year round on this ground, but the timing of a fill or base placement matters more than the season does.

Questions from Baker Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Baker?

610 Limestone is the base to start from, because the stone dust up to about two inches binds it and it hardens as it is rolled. Above that, Stone Screenings or 3/8" Crushed Stone bed the pavers, and Mason Sand gives a smooth setting bed.
