Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Benton, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Benton, LA. Work here runs year round, and wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass.

That makes the ground, not the calendar, the thing to plan around.

610 limestone is the base this market builds on. It is stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

Materials for Benton Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most Benton work starts. 610 Limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is crushed limestone with the fines left in.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork.

Road Base, sold locally as recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened to a dense graded size. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For the surface layer, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. It drains, which is why it suits drive surfacing and concrete work.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a finished base course.

Washed stone covers the water work. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

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

Sand and soil round out a load. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work.

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

Ground and Conditions in Benton

Benton sits in Bossier Parish, in the northern and western uplands. Across this part of the state the surface is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat, with clay in the draws.

That sandy loam takes water. The clay beneath it does not.

So water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws, and slope rather than a water table is what moves it here.

The practical result is a base that has to shed water rather than sit in it. A clean open graded stone like #57 limestone lets water pass; a fines-bearing base like 610 limestone binds and hardens instead.

Both have a place, and they do different jobs.

Bare sandy slopes also cut into gullies once the cover is gone, and the draws scour. Riprap and large river rock are not interchangeable there.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

You order online and a dump truck tips the load on site. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. The driver tips the material in one pile and does not spread it.
