Materials for Lafitte Projects

Decorative rock does the heavy lifting on a lot of Lafitte landscaping. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all want a rounded stone that sits still and looks finished.

River Rock covers beds and open ground where nothing has to compact under it.

For a dry creek bed or a low decorative bank, Large River Rock gives you the bigger rounded cobble. Rounded stone does not lock together, so keep it to looks and light cover rather than bank armour.

Where a bank or a canal edge actually has to hold, the answer is angular. RipRap is the stone for shoreline armour, bayou edges and slope protection, because angular faces grip each other.

Paths and play areas take a smaller rounded stone. Natural Pea Gravel packs underfoot on garden paths, dog runs and around play sets, and it beds pipe cleanly.

For driveways, pads and anything structural, start with the base. 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base, stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is the recycled option, a dense graded base with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

On top of a finished base, a clean stone surfaces the drive. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work as well as a drive surface.

Drainage trenches and pipe bedding want something finer and still clean. #67 Stone fits that work, and Drain Rock is the washed stone for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs.

Beds and gardens need soil, not stone. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and grade repair, and Garden Soil is blended for raised beds and vegetables.

Raised beds matter here, because the natural ground sits wet.

Finish beds with Shredded Mulch, a surface dressing for tree rings and slope cover.

Ground and Conditions in Lafitte

The deltaic plain is coastal marsh: organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. Firm ground shows up on natural levee ridges and old distributary channels, and that is about it.

The water table sits at or near the surface, so the ground is already saturated. Water does not drain downward here.

It leaves by pump or canal, or it does not leave at all.

That changes what you build on. A pad placed on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it, so the fill goes in first and the base course goes on the fill.

Select fill compacts rather than settling, which is why it belongs under a base and not under a lawn.

Erosion across this coast comes from storm surge, canal and bayou bank retreat, and wave action on open water. Angular stone holds those edges; rounded stone does not.

Work runs year round and gets interrupted by rain and high water rather than by cold. Build the drainage layer to work, because on ground this wet it is the part that carries the load.
