Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Akers, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Akers, LA, from a new driveway pad to a drainage run. Most of it starts with 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base this market calls 610 base or CR610.

The ground here is flatwoods country: a sandy surface over a dense subsoil that holds water. That shapes what you put down and how the load gets to you.

Materials for Akers Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where a project here begins. 610 Limestone is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and hardens as it is rolled.

It carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Road Base is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines kept in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is a base layer, not crushed quarry stone.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a finished base course. For a clean, open graded surface stone, #57 Limestone runs about 3/4 inch with no fines, which suits drainage and concrete work.

Wet ground calls for a different layer. Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds, laid over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Ground and Conditions in Akers

Across the Florida parishes pine flatwoods, the ground is level to gently sloping terrace under pine. The surface is a sandy or silt loam, and under it sits a dense, slowly permeable subsoil.

That subsoil is the part that matters. The water table rises into the root zone in the wet season and stays there, because the layer below will not take the water away.

The surface looks sandy and free draining. It is not, and a base course laid straight onto it will move once the water backs up.

Water on bare flat ground also sheets, scours ditches and cuts rills in the sandy surface where grade is left exposed. A clean open stone like #4 Crushed Stone gives heavy drainage and wet ground somewhere for that water to go.

Work runs year round here. What sets the schedule is how wet the ground is, not how cold it gets.
