Materials for Lamar Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work that sets up everything else on a lot. Fill dirt builds up a low spot or a whole pad before any base course goes down, and it is the first layer under a shed, a shop or a driveway.

Once the grade is where you want it, 610 limestone goes on top as the compacting base. Size No.

Clay gravel is the other road base option, a pit-run gravel with enough clay and fines in it to bind and pack over soft ground. It has surfaced Mississippi drives and farm roads for a long time.

For drainage, #57 limestone is clean, free-draining stone for French drains, foundation drains and drive surfacing. #67 stone does the same work one size down, and #8 crushed stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

On top of a compacted base, stone screenings bed pavers and flagstone and fill the joints. Masonry sand does the same job in brick and block work and in paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Lamar

Across the Northeast Hills, Pontotoc Ridge and Flatwoods, the ground is the most varied in the state. You get reddish sandy marl soils on the Pontotoc Ridge and a narrow belt of heavy, poorly drained Flatwoods clay just west of it.

That matters because an under-built base fails on both. On the clay belt, water sits and the ground stays soft long after a rain, so a pad needs fill built up before any base course goes down.

On the hills, steep narrow valleys shed water fast, and runoff cuts slopes and washes out drives that cross a draw. A clean drainage layer and a base that holds its shape are what keep a drive together.

Work runs nearly year round here. The Flatwoods clay belt is the ground most likely to be too wet to compact in late winter, so timing a pad build around that stretch pays off.

Freezes are short and shallow by national standards. Mississippi leaves the frost line depth blank in the residential code table for each jurisdiction to fill in, and sets a minimum exterior footing depth of 12 inches.
