Start with 610 limestone, the local base. It sets the pad that pavers, slabs and patio edges sit on.

Ground and Conditions in Bernice

Across the northern and western uplands, the surface is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays. The ground rolls rather than lying flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws.

A thin base shows itself fast here. The sandy loam takes water, the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slope and gathers in the draws.

That sideways movement is what undermines a patio. Water reaches the edge of a shallow base, softens it, and the pavers settle out of line.

Bare sandy slopes also cut into gullies once the cover is gone. Stream and ditch scour works the same way in the draws.

Work runs year round in Union Parish. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass.

The fix is a base that carries the load and a drainage layer that moves water away. Both start with the right stone.

Materials for Bernice Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where this page earns its keep. Get that layer right and the surface above it stays put.

610 Limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, is the Louisiana base size. 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 the compacted layer beneath flatwork. That is the pad a patio rests on.

Road Base, or recycled base, is crushed and screened Portland cement concrete with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is a base layer, not crushed quarry stone, and it is specified locally by that class number. Use it where a dense graded base is wanted.

Mason Sand is the finest washed sand. It goes into mortar and brick and block work, and it makes a smooth paver setting bed.

Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork and backfills where a clean fine material is wanted.

Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. They bed and joint pavers and pack the top of a path.

For the drainage layer beside a patio, Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It serves French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.
