Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Addis, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Addis, LA, and it starts with sizing the load. Each product page has a calculator, and you order by the ton or by the yard.

From there it comes down to the material. Around here that means 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base with the fines left in so it binds and hardens as it is rolled.

Delivery to Addis and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick your quantity, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at your site.

Addis sits in West Baton Rouge Parish, and delivery covers the city and the surrounding area. That includes Port Allen, Brusly and Erwinville.

Bulk loads are heavy and the truck needs room to reach the spot you want the pile. Think about where the material will sit while you move it.

Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard. The calculator on each product page is there to help you settle on a number before you check out.

Materials for Addis Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work that shapes most of this section. The ground here is flat and wet, so a pad often has to be built up out of the water before anything goes on top of it.

That starts with fill. Select Fill compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

River silt is the Louisiana name for fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms, and yards here list it beside fill dirt and spillway dirt as a grade raising material.

Once the pad is up, the base course goes down. 610 Limestone is the crushed limestone base for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Road Base is the other base option. It is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For a driveway surface over a finished base, Driveway Gravel tops the work. Clean stone is a different job: #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, for drainage and concrete work.

For a patio, the bedding matters as much as the base. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for a smooth paver setting bed, brick and block work.

For a drain, the stone has to be clean and open. Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Addis

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the ground is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers, deep and heavy.

Sandier natural levee ridges run along the old channels. The low ground between them is backswamp clay, and that is the ground that causes trouble.

The water table sits close to the surface, and clay will not take water. The land is flat, so the ridges are the only ground that drains by itself.

That combination is what an under-built base runs into. Water sits in the clay, and a base course laid on soft ground moves instead of holding.

Erosion comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. Riprap and #4 Crushed Stone are the angular options for that work.

Work runs year round here. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass.

Questions About Ordering in Addis

What is the best base under pavers in Addis?

610 limestone is the crushed limestone base for the compacted layer under flatwork, and it binds as it is rolled. Above it, Mason Sand gives a smooth paver setting bed, while Stone Screenings work as a bedding and joint material.

Both are clean and fine, so they sit on a base that has already been built and compacted.
