Bulk Material Delivery in Arabi, LA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Arabi, LA, Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and tips it on your site. Start with 610 limestone if you are building a pad or a drive.

Each product page carries a calculator, so you can size the load before you order. Water sits close to the surface here, and that shapes what you put down.

Materials for Arabi Projects

Washed stone is the part of a job that has to work on its own. With the water table at or near the surface, nothing drains downward, so a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run only moves water if the stone around it is clean and open graded.

Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out. It goes in French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It handles drainage and concrete work, and it surfaces a drive.

#4 Crushed Stone is a coarse clean stone at roughly 1 1/2 inch. Use it for heavy drainage, erosion work and ground that stays wet.

For the load-bearing layer, 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base size, stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled. It goes under drives, parking pads, shed pads and flatwork.

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

At the fine end, Stone Screenings bed and joint pavers and pack the top of a path. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and a smooth paver setting bed.

Delivery to Arabi and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site.

Arabi sits in St. Bernard Parish, and delivery covers the parish, including Chalmette, Meraux, Violet and St.

Bernard. If your job is anywhere in that area, the truck can reach it.

Bulk loads arrive as one tipped pile, so it helps to know where you want that pile before the truck shows up. Have the ground clear and the spot reachable.

Ground and Conditions in Arabi

Across the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, the ground is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The firm ground sits on natural levee ridges and old distributary channels.

That means a pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling.

Work runs year round here, interrupted by rain and by high water rather than by cold. Time a delivery around the wet stretches, because a soft site is harder to work once a load is sitting on it.

Erosion along canal and bayou banks is a real driver in this part of the state. RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection, and rounded stone will not hold a bank.
