Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run works best for new driveways because the fines lock together. A base layer of larger stone may be needed on soft ground.
• Drainage: Crushed Stone such as #57 allows water to move through quickly. Avoid materials with fines that can clog drain pipes.
• Patios and walkways: Use a compactable base like crusher run, then top with Natural Pea Gravel or sand for the setting bed. The base layer prevents settling.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Top soil or garden soil improves planting beds. Decorative stone or hardwood mulch adds a finished look and controls weeds.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

Center Point sits in a mix of older built-up lots and newer acreage properties. The rural fringe often has long driveways and soft ground after heavy rain.

Soils in Avoyelles Parish vary from Top Soil to clay. Sandy areas drain fast, while clay holds water and requires deeper base preparation for driveways.

Mild winters with occasional freeze-thaw cycles mean base materials must resist frost heave. Proper compaction of crusher run helps prevent shifting during wet periods.
