Railroad Ballast Delivery for Bonita, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Bonita, LA to sites across Morehouse Parish. Water here moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws, so the ground under a pad is what decides how the pad holds up.

Start with 610 limestone. The stone dust up to about two inches binds the mix, and it hardens as it is rolled.

Materials for Bonita Projects

Fill and sub-base come first here, because so much of the work starts with ground that needs raising. Select Fill builds a pad up out of the wet and compacts rather than settling.

It goes under a base course, never under a lawn.

River silt is the other grade raising material yards list here, dug from the river bottoms. Spillway dirt is a second name for coarse fill from borrow areas.

For a driveway, lay 610 Limestone as the base and cap it with Driveway Gravel. Road Base is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For a patio, bed the pavers on Stone Screenings or Mason Sand. Both pack smooth and hold a setting bed.

For a drain, use clean stone with the fines taken out. Drain Rock suits French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch, and it is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work. #67 Stone runs a little finer for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

Wet ground takes a coarser clean stone. #4 Crushed Stone is roughly 1 1/2 inch and suits heavy drainage and erosion work.

Railroad Ballast is the coarse angular option for track beds and equipment pads.

Bedding and surfacing take the finer sizes. #8 Crushed Stone is roughly 3/8 inch for fine drainage and paver bedding.

#89 Crushed Stone fills paver joints and thin bedding layers.

Lawns and beds sit on Top Soil over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Shredded Mulch dresses beds, tree rings and slopes as a surface layer.

Ground and Conditions in Bonita

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

The sandy loam surface takes water, and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws instead of draining away.

That is why an under-built base fails here. A pad that sits on soft fill keeps moving, and the base course above it never stops settling.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies once the cover is gone. Stream and ditch scour works the same way in the draws.

Work runs year round in this part of the state. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so time the fill work around it.
