Materials for Elton Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on a lot in Jefferson Davis Parish. That means fill to raise low ground, then soil to grow something on top of it.

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

Spillway dirt is the other yard term for coarse fill from borrow areas.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair. It goes 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. Raised beds matter here, because the natural ground sits wet.

Base and Stone

610 Limestone is the Louisiana base size, also called #610 or 610 base. Stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in to bind it.

It hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened dense graded with the fines kept. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

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

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs all use it.

Sand, Decorative and Surface

Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork and backs up a paver setting bed. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work.

River Rock covers beds and borders where nothing has to compact. Shredded Mulch dresses beds and tree rings; cypress mulch is the name a Louisiana buyer asks for.

Ground and Conditions in Elton

Rain gets through the silt loam surface across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, then hits dense clay 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. A pad that holds water will not hold a load, so the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Bare terrace ground moves water as sheet flow, and fresh grade rills before it is covered. Ditch and coulee edges scour.

Riprap armours banks and canal edges where rounded stone would not.

Work runs year round here, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Grade and pour while the ground is dry enough to take a truck.
