Start with the base material. On this ground, the base is the part that decides how the rest holds up.

Materials for Vinton Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first. 610 limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is the Louisiana base size: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in to bind it.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork. Roll it and it hardens into a compacted layer.

Crushed concrete, also called recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For a driveway surface, #57 limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It also suits drainage and concrete work.

Driveway Gravel tops a finished base course.

Clean stone handles water. #67 limestone is a little finer than #57 for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

#4 Crushed Stone is coarse, roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage and wet ground.

Drain rock is washed clean with the fines taken out, for French drains, drywells and foundation perimeter drains. #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone are the fine sizes for paver bedding and joints.

Sand beds and fills. Mason sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar and a smooth paver setting bed.

Washed sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork. Natural Pea Gravel, river rock and large river rock dress beds and paths where nothing has to compact.

Soil and fill raise ground and grow lawns. Select fill compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course.

Top soil is the growing layer, and garden soil suits raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Vinton

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the ground is level Pleistocene terrace with a silt loam surface over dense clay. 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.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off.

That is why the drainage layer is the part that has to work. Drain rock, #57 and #4 stone all move water instead of holding it.

A fines-bearing base holds water, so it belongs under a drive, not in a drain.

Bare terrace ground also takes sheet flow, ditch and coulee scour, and rill cutting on fresh grade before it is covered. Riprap armours banks and canal edges.

Large river rock is decorative, and rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here. Wet spells set the schedule, not cold ones.
