Bulk Material Delivery in Arnaudville, LA

If you are pricing gravel and aggregate delivery in Arnaudville, LA, the first question is usually whether water will move once the material is down. Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, and around here the answer starts with washed stone.

The ground under Arnaudville is level terrace ground with a silt loam surface over dense clay, so water perches instead of draining away.

That is why 610 limestone goes under drives and pads, while clean washed stone handles everything the water has to get through.

Materials for Arnaudville Projects

Start with the drainage layer whenever a downspout, a French drain or a drywell is part of the job. Clean washed stone has the fines taken out, so water passes through it instead of filling the voids with dust.

Drain Rock is the washed material for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. On ground with a water table this close to the surface, that layer is the part that has to work.

Coarse and clean covers the heavy end of the same work. #4 Crushed Stone is roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground.

Railroad Ballast is the coarse angular choice where a large open stone is wanted.

Mid sizes handle trenches, pipe and concrete work. #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines.

#67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

Fine clean stone beds pavers and joints. #8 Crushed Stone is roughly 3/8 inch, for fine drainage and paver bedding.

#89 Crushed Stone goes into paver joints and thin bedding layers.

Below the clean stone sits the compacted base. 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 carries driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Road Base is the recycled option, crushed and screened with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is recycled Portland cement concrete, not crushed limestone.

Water that has to move off a bank or a slope needs angular stone. RipRap armours banks, shoreline, canal and bayou edges and slope protection.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so river rock belongs in beds and borders, not on a bank.

Ground and Conditions in Arnaudville

Work here runs year round, and it is wet spells rather than cold ones that set the schedule. Time a delivery for a stretch when the ground is firm enough to take a loaded truck.

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the ground is level Pleistocene terrace with a silt loam surface over a dense clay subsoil. A tight claypan often sits close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike.

Rain gets through the silt loam, reaches the dense subsoil and stops. Water perches in the top foot and the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off, so drainage is built, not found.

Bare terrace ground also erodes by sheet flow, and ditches and coulees scour. Fresh grade cuts rills before anything covers it, so cover the grade as soon as the work allows.
