Materials for Maringouin Projects

Decorative stone is a strong place to start on a Maringouin yard. River Rock is rounded stone for beds, borders and ground cover, and it is meant for spots where nothing has to compact.

Large River Rock is the rounded cobble size. It builds dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks, but rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

For a dry creek bed that has to hold a bank, use angular stone instead. RipRap is the angular option for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection.

Natural Pea Gravel is rounded pea sized gravel for paths, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding. It sits loose underfoot and suits ground cover where you walk.

Beds need a surface dressing as well. Shredded Mulch covers beds, tree rings and slopes, and it is a surface dressing rather than a structural material.

Underneath all of it, 610 limestone is the compacted layer for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads. Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

Ground and Conditions in Maringouin

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the ground is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers, deep and heavy. Sandier natural levee ridges run along the old channels, and backswamp clay fills the low ground between them.

The water table sits high and the clay will not take water. The land is flat, so the ridges are the only ground that drains by itself, and the low ground holds rain until it is ditched or pumped away.

That is why an under-built base fails here. A base course over soft clay moves, so the compacted layer has to be built to carry the load above it.

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

Erosion comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. Work runs year round here, and heavy rain on saturated clay, not cold, is what stops a compaction pass.
