Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Bentley, LA

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Bentley, LA, for a washed out slope or a driveway that keeps losing its surface? Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand, soil and fill by the ton and delivers to Grant Parish.

Start with 610 limestone if you are building a pad or a drive. On the sandy loam ridges around here, water moves sideways down the slope and gathers in the draws, so the stone you place at the bottom of a grade matters as much as the stone on top of it.

Materials for Bentley Projects

Slope, swale and bank work is where the coarser stone earns its place. Bare sandy slopes cut quickly once the cover is gone, and stream and ditch scour in the draws keeps pulling at the toe of any bank you leave open.

Riprap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. The angular faces grip each other, which is what a bank needs.

See RipRap.

Large river rock is rounded cobble for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour, but it lines a swale or a dry bed well.

See Large River Rock.

Railroad ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, heavy equipment pads and very wet ground where a large open stone is wanted. See Railroad Ballast.

Drain rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. Where water gathers, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

See Drain Rock.

When you want a compacted base rather than a drainage layer, 610 limestone is the Louisiana base size: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines that bind it. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork.

See 610 Limestone.

For a surface, #57 limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work. See #57 Limestone.

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

Ground and Conditions in Bentley

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so a delivery date after a wet stretch is worth thinking about before you commit to a base course.

The ground across this part of the state is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws. The sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes.

Slope, rather than a water table, is what moves water here.

That is why a drainage layer and a compacted base are two different jobs. Clean stone with the fines washed out lets water through; 610 limestone binds and hardens as it is rolled.

Gully cutting on bare sandy slopes is the erosion to watch, along with stream and ditch scour in the draws. Riprap on a bank and drain rock in a swale both slow that down.
