Materials for Vance Projects

Raising grade is the first move on most Delta ground. Build the pad up before any surface goes down, or the base sits in water it cannot shed.

For a driveway, start with fill dirt to lift the grade, then cap it with 610 limestone. The 610 is a graded crushed stone that compacts into a firm surface.

Where the ground underneath stays soft, clay gravel binds and packs instead.

For a patio, bed the pavers on Stone Screenings over a compacted base. Screenings are a fine material that levels and fills joints.

Under a slab, Washed Sand beds and levels the pour.

For a drain, use clean stone that lets water move. #57 Limestone and Drain Rock both work in French drains and downspout runs.

RipRap armours banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where flow cuts.

For a walkway, Walkway Gravel gives a finer surface than drive gravel. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded chert washed out of pit gravels, and it suits paths and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Vance

Delta ground is deep alluvial silt, silt loam and heavy clay. Sand and gravel sit tens of feet down, not at the surface.

The clay swells wet and cracks dry, so it moves under a base that was not built up.

Fall across the region is nearly flat. Tight clay subsoil takes water slowly, and river and backwater flooding sits behind the levees.

Water stands rather than runs off.

That is why a drive here needs a built-up, crowned base rather than a deeper one. Raise the grade with fill dirt, crown it so water sheds, then compact the 610 limestone on top.

Sheet flow across flat fields also cuts at drive edges and culvert outlets, so stone at those points matters.

Work runs nearly year round in this part of the state. The real limits are saturated ground in late winter and early spring, and heavy rain.

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