Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Atlanta, LA

If your pad keeps sinking, the question is what goes under it. Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Atlanta, LA, and the answer usually starts with 610 limestone.

This part of the state sits on sandy loam over clay, so a pad built straight on the natural ground moves. The base course is what holds it.

Materials for Atlanta Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the work that decides how everything above it performs. Start with the fill, then cap it with a base course that compacts.

Select Fill compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn. Louisiana yards also list river silt and spillway dirt beside it as grade raising material.

610 limestone is the Louisiana base: stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled. That is what makes it the right layer under a driveway or a slab.

Road Base is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in. It is not crushed quarry stone, and it is not the same material as 610 limestone.

For a driveway surface, #57 Limestone is a clean open graded stone about 3/4 inch with no fines. Drain Rock is washed clean for French drains and downspout runs.

For a patio, Mason Sand is the finest washed sand and works as a smooth paver setting bed. Stone Screenings pack under a path or fill paver joints.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil is the growing layer over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Atlanta

Across the northern and western uplands, the surface is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays. The ground rolls rather than sitting flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws.

The sandy loam takes water and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws, so slope rather than a water table is what moves it here.

That matters to a base course. An under-built pad on a slope wicks water at the edges and loses its compaction, so the fill and the base have to be built to shed water sideways.

Bare sandy slopes gully quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws scour at streams and ditches. Riprap and large river rock armour those edges; rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so a pad built on saturated clay will not tighten up.

Questions About Ordering in Atlanta

What is the best base under pavers in Atlanta?

610 limestone is the base course for pavers here, because the stone dust up to about two inches binds and hardens as it is rolled. Above it, Mason Sand gives a smooth setting bed, and Stone Screenings fill the joints.

On ground that stays wet, put Drain Rock or #57 Limestone under the base so water has somewhere to go.
