Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Boyce, LA

If you are grading a yard, building up a low spot, or prepping beds before you plant, gravel and aggregate delivery in Boyce, LA starts with the material that sits under everything else. Louisiana Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone, soil and fill across Rapides Parish.

In this part of the state the ground is sandy loam over clay, so a lot of work here is about moving water and leveling ground rather than fighting rock. The right base and the right soil do most of that job.

Materials for Boyce Projects

Grading and bed prep carry a lot of the work on a Boyce property, and that starts with fill and soil. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the wet.

It compacts instead of settling, so it belongs under a base course.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair. The natural ground here is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Garden Soil is a blended planting mix for raised beds and vegetable gardens, and raised beds matter where the ground stays wet.

Once the pad is up, the base course goes down. 610 limestone, also called 610 base or CR610, is the Louisiana base material: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines binding it as it is rolled.

It is the compacted layer under drives, pads and flatwork. 610 Limestone is the base most site work is built on.

Clean stone handles water. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it is a driveway surface and a drainage stone.

Drain Rock is washed clean for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs. #4 Crushed Stone is coarser and goes where ground is very wet.

Sand and decorative stone round out a project. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar and block work and a smooth paver setting bed.

Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork. Natural Pea Gravel suits paths, dog runs and play areas.

River Rock dresses beds and borders where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in Boyce

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 ridges and clay down in the draws.

The sandy surface takes water; the clay beneath it does not.

So water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws. Slope is what moves it here, not a water table.

Anything you build at the bottom of a slope has to plan for water arriving from uphill.

That shapes material choice. A clean open stone like #57 limestone or drain rock lets water pass; a fines-bearing base like 610 limestone holds together under a drive.

Put the wrong one in the wrong place and the water finds it.

Bare sandy slopes also cut quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws scour. Riprap armours banks and channel edges, while rounded stone does not lock together and will not hold a slope.

Work runs year round here, and wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass.

Delivery to Boyce and the Surrounding Area

Order online and a dump truck tips the load on your site. You choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size it.

Pick a delivery date at checkout.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. The load comes off in one pile, so the spot you choose is where the material stays until you move it.

Bulk material is heavy and the truck needs room to back in and tip.

Louisiana Rock Supply delivers throughout Rapides Parish, including Alexandria, Pineville, Ball, Woodworth and Glenmora. Boyce sits in Rapides Parish, and orders to this area go out the same way as anywhere else in the parish.

Questions About Ordering in Boyce

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Boyce?

Yes. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard.

Every product page has a calculator you can use to size the load, and you pick a delivery date at checkout. The truck tips the material on site in one pile, so have the drop spot clear and reachable before it arrives.

What stone should I use for drainage in Boyce?

Use a clean open graded stone. In this part of the state the sandy loam surface takes water and the clay below it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes.

#57 limestone, drain rock and #4 crushed stone all let water pass. A fines-bearing base like 610 limestone is for compaction, not drainage.
