Ground and Conditions in Lockwood

The trouble with flatwork around Dade County is rarely the pavers. It is a base course that was too thin or never locked up. On cherty clay over limestone, a shallow bed flexes with the freeze-thaw swings of a Missouri winter and the pavers start rocking within a season or two.

Heavy storms make it worse. Runoff moves fast off rocky slopes, and on the flatter uplands water disappears into sinkholes and cracks in the bedrock. A patio base with no drainage layer under it has nowhere for that water to go.

Spring is the wettest stretch, and chert in the ground slows digging more often than mud does. Build the compaction and the drainage layer to the job, and the surface stays put.

Materials for Lockwood Projects

Patio bedding is the core of most orders here. Screenings are the Missouri name for the fine crushed stone and dust left from crushing, and they are what you screed to a flat bed for pavers, flagstone and patios. They compact hard and hold a level plane.

Under the bedding goes the structural course. Base rock is the standard Missouri base material for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and farm lanes. Compact it in lifts and it carries the load the surface above it needs.

Washed sand and mason sand handle the rest of the flatwork. Mason sand is for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand, while washed sand levels and beds under slabs. For drainage, 1 inch clean is washed with no fines, so water moves through it instead of sitting. It suits French drains and septic fields.

Decorative work and planting finish the yard. River rock and Natural Pea Gravel dress borders and beds, and topsoil rebuilds a lawn over rocky ground.
