Materials for Broussard Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first. Low terrace ground needs fill that compacts, then a base course on top of it.

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course, not under a lawn.

River silt and spillway dirt are the other names Louisiana yards use for grade raising material.

610 Limestone is the compacted layer under flatwork and the surface of a driveway or parking pad. The stone dust up to about two inches binds it, so it hardens as it is rolled.

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

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work.

#67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Screenings bed pavers and pack a path top. Mason Sand gives a smooth paver setting bed for brick and block work.

Ground and Conditions in Broussard

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

Rain gets through the silt loam, reaches the dense subsoil and stops. 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.

That is what an under-built base does here. Fill that compacts, then 610 limestone over it, keeps a slab or a drive from working its way into soft ground.

Water also needs somewhere to go. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains and downspout runs.

Where the water table sits close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Bare terrace ground moves under sheet flow, and ditches and coulees scour. Fresh grade cuts rills before it is covered, so cover it.

Work runs year round here, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule.

Questions from Broussard Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Broussard?

Start with fill that compacts, because the claypan holds water and soft ground lets a paver bed move. Then bed the pavers in Stone Screenings or Mason Sand, both fine materials that pack flat.

A clean open stone like #57 Limestone does not compact, so it belongs in drainage, not under a paver bed.
