Materials for Des Allemands Projects

Grading and bed prep start with soil and fill, because the natural ground across the deltaic plain is organic muck and soft clay. Select Fill raises a low spot and builds a pad that compacts instead of settling, and it belongs under a base course rather than under a lawn.

River silt is the Louisiana name for fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms, and yards list it beside spillway dirt as a grade raising material. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens, and raised beds matter here because the natural ground sits wet.

For the structural layers, 610 limestone is the Louisiana base size, running from 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 recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material. It is not crushed quarry stone.

Above a base, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines, for a driveway surface, drainage and concrete work. #67 Stone runs a little finer, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. On ground with a water table this close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

For sand, Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed. Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork and backfills where a clean fine material is wanted.

On the decorative side, Natural Pea Gravel is rounded pea sized gravel for paths, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding. River Rock is rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and ground cover where nothing has to compact.

Shredded Mulch dresses beds, tree rings and slopes. It is a surface dressing, not a structural material.

Ground and Conditions in Des Allemands

Across the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, the water table sits at or near the surface and the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward.

Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all.

That changes what a base course has to do. A pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it, so the fill layer has to be a material that compacts rather than one that keeps moving.

Erosion is the other driver, from storm surge, canal and bayou bank retreat and wave action along open water. RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges and slope protection.

Large River Rock edges a dry creek bed or a low bank, but rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here, interrupted by rain and by high water rather than by cold. Schedule grading and fill around the wet spells, because a saturated subgrade will not compact.
