West Tennessee loess and loose Coastal Plain sand wash out quickly on bare ground. Pick the stone that slows the water first, then build the surface on top of it.

Materials for Collierville Projects

Start with the biggest stone when water is the problem. Rip rap locks creek banks, ditch banks and culvert outlets in place. It is the first line of defense where runoff leaves a site.

Railroad ballast works for the same job in tighter spots: hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where coarse stone has to shed water and stay put.

Step down in size and you get the drainage workhorses. #4 crushed stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. #57 stone covers French drains, driveway topping and concrete aggregate. #67 stone does the same work at a slightly smaller washed size, and drain rock suits downspout runs and the backfill behind retaining walls.

Mid sizes blend drainage and surface duty. 3/4 inch crushed stone builds drainage beds, driveway surfacing and construction entrances. 3/8 inch crushed stone goes to fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base.

Then the fine end. Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and level under patios. Mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs.

For the base under any of it, crusher run compacts into a hard, stable surface.

Ground and Conditions in Collierville

Plan around the wet season, not the cold. Winter and spring bring the most rain, so flooded bottoms and wet silt delay grading and base work far more often than frozen ground does.

Frost stays shallow here. Tennessee's residential code puts footings at least 12 inches below grade, and the local building department sets the frost line. Freeze-thaw is real but mild, so a compacted crusher run base normally holds through the cycle.

The bigger risk is the ground itself. Loess and loose Coastal Plain sand cut gullies on bare slopes and fill ditches with silt. Many upland silt soils also have a dense subsoil layer that slows water soaking in. That means water runs off instead of down.

Answer both problems at once. Line swales and slope toes with coarse stone, keep a washed drainage layer under the surface, and compact the base in lifts before the next rain.
