Materials for Gueydan Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for first. When water perches in the top foot, the fill layer under a pad or a base course is what keeps the finished surface out of the soft zone.

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 the same family of coarse fill from borrow areas.

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

Crushed Concrete 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.

For a drain, the clean sizes are the ones that work. Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, perimeter drains and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch, and it also suits concrete work.

For a patio, Mason Sand is the finest washed sand and gives a smooth paver setting bed. #89 Crushed Stone fills paver joints, and Stone Screenings pack a path or bed a paver.

On ground this wet, Top Soil and Garden Soil go over the fill, not under it. Raised beds matter here because the natural ground sits wet.

Ground and Conditions in Gueydan

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the surface is silt loam over a dense clay subsoil. A tight claypan often sits close enough to the surface 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, and on ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off.

That is why an under-built base shows up fast here. A base course laid straight onto soft ground moves under a truck or a loaded trailer, so the fill and sub-base work comes first and the surface stone goes on top of it.

Bare terrace ground also takes sheet flow, and ditch and coulee scour, with rill cutting on a fresh grade before it is covered. Cover the grade with the material that belongs on it rather than leaving it open.

Work runs year round in this part of the state, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Frost is not a factor in how material is placed here.
