Start with the ground. The silt loam surface here sits over a dense clay subsoil, so grading and bed prep come before anything else.

Materials for Washington Projects

Grading and bed prep carry the work here, and that starts with the soil. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens. Raised beds matter on ground that sits wet, because the natural soil holds water instead of draining it.

Under a pad or a drive, Select Fill raises low ground and builds the pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.

River silt is the Louisiana name for fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms, and yards here list it beside fill dirt and spillway dirt as a grade raising material. Bring it in where you are lifting a lot of ground and the surface will be planted or paved later.

Once the grade is right, 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base: stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Crushed 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, and it is a real substitute for a quarried base, not the same material.

For a clean surface, #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines. Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and decorative stone round out a project. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work.

River Rock is rounded decorative stone for beds and borders where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in Washington

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the ground is level terrace with a silt loam surface over dense clay. Rain gets through the surface, reaches the subsoil and stops.

That claypan sits close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike. 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 water off. A drainage layer has to do the work the slope cannot, which is why drain rock and clean open stone matter more here than a heavier base.

Bare terrace ground also moves. Sheet flow crosses it, ditches and coulees scour, and fresh grade cuts into rills before anything covers it.

Cover a finished grade with a base course or a growing layer rather than leaving it open.

Work runs year round in this part of the state, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Plan grading and hauling around the wet stretches, not the temperature.
