Materials for Duncan Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of the work around Duncan, and beds, dry creek beds and ground cover are where it earns its place. The same ground that makes drainage hard makes decorative stone useful.

River rock is the standard choice for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. It is rounded stone, so it sits as a surface layer rather than a structural one.

Large river rock suits heavier work: dry creek beds, drainage swales and bank edges.

Natural Pea Gravel is the other decorative standby. Mississippi Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of the pit gravels, not crushed stone, and it works for walkways, play areas and decorative beds.

Where a bed sits over heavy clay, garden soil gives plants something workable to root into. Shredded mulch over the top holds moisture and keeps soil in place on slopes through heavy summer rain.

For the hard surfaces, 610 limestone is the compacting base for drives and pads. Clay gravel, also called pit gravel, is the long-standing Mississippi drive and farm-road material where a graded, binding surface is wanted over soft ground.

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Drainage is the other half of the job. #57 limestone and #67 stone go into French drains, foundation drains and concrete work.

#8 crushed stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints, and #89 crushed stone is the small washed stone for tight bedding and joints. Drain rock covers French drains, drywells and downspout runs.

For bed prep under pavers and flagstone, stone screenings bed the units and fill the joints. Masonry sand does the same for brick and block work and paver joints.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs and pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Duncan

Across the Delta the ground is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay laid down by the rivers. Sand and gravel sit tens of feet below the surface rather than at it.

Backswamp ground is gray to black clay that swells wet and cracks dry.

That clay takes water slowly, and the ground here is flat with almost no fall. Water stands rather than runs off, so a drive needs a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one.

An under-built base on this ground moves as the clay wets and dries.

Erosion comes from sheet flow across flat fields and from floodwater cutting at drive edges and culvert outlets. RipRap armours banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes.

Railroad ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage where a heavy coarse stone is wanted.

Work runs nearly year round here. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring and heavy rain, not frozen ground.

Frost heave is not what breaks a Delta drive; the ground moving as saturated clay dries and wets again is.
