Ground and Conditions in Fayette

A thin base shows itself fast in Howard County. The bedding layer shifts, the pavers rock, and joints open after a wet spring. The cause is almost always the same: not enough compacted base under the sand.

This is Missouri and Mississippi river hills ground. Silty loess sits on the ridgetops over cherty clay and limestone, dolomite, sandstone or shale bedrock. Sinkholes form where limestone or dolomite lies close to the surface.

Storm runoff drops quickly off steep bluffs and hillsides into narrow valleys. Loess washes away easily, so runoff gullies bare slopes and road cuts. Water also drains underground through sinkholes, which pulls support out from under a slab without warning.

Build the base course deep and compact it in lifts. Crown the finished surface so water leaves instead of pooling. On low ground near the rivers, wait out the wet spells before you cut grade.

Midwinter freezes and heavy spring rain are the usual hold-ups. January nights average below freezing and most days thaw, giving frequent freeze-thaw cycles through winter. Frost depth is moderate and set by the local building code.

Materials for Fayette Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is the job that decides how a patio ages. Get the layers right and the surface stays flat for years. Get them wrong and you rebuild it.

Base rock, also called type 5 base or type 1 base, is the standard Missouri base material. It goes down first, compacted, under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Use Base Rock for the structural course under a patio or slab.

Over the compacted base, bedding carries the pavers. Mason Sand is the Missouri choice for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs and flatwork. Screenings, the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing, bed flagstone and patio pavers and surface paths.

For the drive or pad beside the patio, Crusher Run compacts and binds because it carries fines. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base rock course. #57 Limestone, sold locally as 1 inch clean, handles drainage, French drains and septic fields.
