Materials for Mount Hermon Projects

Decorative work is where Mount Hermon yards and gardens get their shape. Rounded stone beds, dry creek beds and ground cover all start with the right rock, and rounded stone behaves differently from angular stone.

River Rock is the rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and ground cover where nothing has to compact. Large River Rock is the bigger cobble for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so it will not hold a bank or armour a slope. For that, use RipRap, the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection.

For driveways, start with 610 limestone as the compacted base, then surface it with Driveway Gravel. The base is what carries the load, and the surface is what you look at and drive on.

For a patio or walkway, bed the pavers on Mason Sand and sweep Stone Screenings into the joints. For a drain, use Drain Rock, the clean washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Hermon

Mount Hermon sits in the Florida parishes pine flatwoods. The ground runs level to gently sloping under pine, with a sandy or silt loam surface over a dense, slowly permeable subsoil.

That subsoil is the part that catches people out. The surface looks sandy and free draining, and the layer under it is not, so water sits in the top of the profile and the water table rises into the root zone in the wet season.

An under-built base fails on that ground. When a drive is built thin over a wet subsoil, the surface stone punches down and ruts form, which is why the compacted base layer matters more here than the surfacing.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare flat ground takes sheet flow, ditches scour, and the sandy surface cuts into rills wherever grade is left exposed.

RipRap and large stone hold those edges.

Work runs year round here, set by how wet the ground is rather than how cold. On ground with a water table this close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.
