Materials for Carencro Projects

On ground this flat and this wet, the fill and the sub-base do the heavy work. Build the pad up first, then lay the base course on top of it.

Get that order right and the driveway, patio or slab above it stays put.

For a driveway

Start with Select Fill if the existing grade sits low or soft. It compacts rather than settling, which is what you want under a base course and never under a lawn.

Then bring in 610 Limestone. The stone dust and fines bind it as it is rolled, so it hardens into a compacted layer.

Top it with Driveway Gravel for the surface.

For a patio or paver bed

Bed the pavers on Mason Sand for a smooth, even setting layer, and pack the joints with Stone Screenings.

Where the ground stays soft, Road Base is a dense graded base with the fines left in. It is recycled Portland cement concrete, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For a drain

Drainage needs clean stone with the fines taken out, and that is a different job from a base course. Drain Rock goes in French drains, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch, useful for drainage and concrete work. #67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Carencro

Carencro sits on the southwest coastal prairie terraces. The surface is a silt loam, and under it is a dense clay subsoil with a tight claypan close enough to the top to stop roots and water alike.

Rain gets through the silt loam and then stops. Water perches in the top foot, and the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

On ground this level there is no fall to carry it off.

That is why an under-built base fails here. A drive or a pad laid straight onto the natural ground has nothing to spread the load, and the soft layer below it moves.

Fill first, then base course, then surface. A drainage layer of clean stone handles the water the claypan will not take.

Erosion is the other side of it. Bare terrace ground takes sheet flow, ditches and coulees scour, and a fresh grade will rill before it is covered.

Get cover on the grade.

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