Materials for Marthaville Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of work here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all want rounded stone that does not have to lock together or carry a load.

For a dry creek bed or a low bank, use Large River Rock. The cobble is rounded and reads as a natural channel.

For bed cover and borders, River Rock lays down fast and holds its color. Natural Pea Gravel suits paths, dog runs and play areas where you want small rounded stone underfoot.

Rounded stone is a surface dressing, not structure. Where a bank has to hold against moving water, switch to angular RipRap.

For a driveway, a parking pad or a shed pad, the base is 610 Limestone. That is the Louisiana base size: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in so it binds and hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is the recycled alternative, crushed Portland cement concrete graded with the fines left in. It is not crushed limestone and is not the same material.

For a patio, start with a compacted base, then bed and joint the pavers. Stone Screenings pack under pavers and finish a path.

Mason Sand gives a smooth setting bed for brick and block.

For a drain, use clean stone with no fines. Drain Rock is washed for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone is the open graded size at about 3/4 inch, and #67 Stone is a little finer for pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Marthaville

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the soil is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers, deep and heavy. The natural levee ridges drain by themselves.

The low ground between them holds rain.

That clay tells you what an under-built base does. Water sits in it, the subgrade softens, and a thin layer of stone on top disappears into the mud.

Build the base course first and the surface lasts.

Erosion follows the same pattern. River and bayou banks cut, bare clay sheets water after a hard rain, and ditches scour.

Angular stone armor holds a bank; rounded stone does not.

Work runs year round. Heavy rain and saturated clay stop a compaction pass, not cold.

610 limestone is the base this ground asks for, and clean stone is what moves the water off it. Rounded rock finishes the beds and the dry creek beds once the structural work is done.
