Materials for Converse Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the work this ground asks for first. Low spots and wet draws need material under them before anything gets built on top.

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.

Spillway dirt is another Louisiana yard term for coarse borrow fill.

610 Limestone is the compacted layer under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and flatwork. The Louisiana base size runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

Road Base 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.

It is not crushed limestone.

For a driveway surface, Driveway Gravel tops a finished base course. For a patio or walkway, Walkway Gravel is a finer gravel that packs underfoot.

Drainage is the other half of the work. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

On ground where water gathers in the draws, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Ground and Conditions in Converse

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

The sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws, so slope is what moves it here, not a water table.

That matters under a base. An under-built pad on this ground lets water sit at the clay line instead of draining away.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws scour at streams and ditches. Riprap and large river rock armour banks and channel edges, while rounded stone on its own does not lock together.

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