Order 610 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Cameron Parish, LA
Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Cameron Parish, LA. Start with 610 limestone, the dense graded base that carries stone dust up to about two inches so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.
Size your load with the calculator on any product page, then pick your material. On ground this low and this wet, the base you choose does the heavy lifting.

Materials delivered in Cameron Parish
Order by project. A driveway, a patio, a drain and a raised bed each call for a different material, and the local name is what gets you the right one.
610 limestone is specified locally through Louisiana DOTD, which sets aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. The soundness and abrasion requirements sit in Subsection 1003.01, and a source has to meet Section 1003 to be listed on the department's approved materials list.
Crushed concrete is a real product with a real local market, but it is recycled Portland cement concrete, not crushed quarry stone. The same 610 designation covers both.
For drainage and bedding, #67 stone is a little finer than #57 and suits drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete. #8 Crushed Stone runs about 3/8 inch for fine drainage and paver bedding.
For planting, Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds, and Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds. Raised beds matter here, because the natural ground sits wet.
Ground conditions across Cameron Parish
Cameron Parish sits on the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast. The ground is coastal marsh: organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible.
The only firm ground is on natural levee ridges, old distributary channels and the cheniers, the shell and sand ridges of the southwest coast. Across this part of the state, that is the pattern.
The water table is at or near the surface and the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward; it leaves by pump, canal or not at all.
A pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it. That is why select fill goes in first and why the drainage layer has to work.
Erosion comes from coastal and wetland loss, storm surge, canal and bayou bank retreat, and wave action along open water. Work runs year round, interrupted by rain and by high water rather than by cold.
Choosing the right material
Vermilion Parish, Calcasieu Parish and Jefferson Davis Parish all sit on the southwest coastal prairie terraces. That ground is level Pleistocene terrace with a silt loam surface over a dense clay subsoil, often with a tight claypan close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike.
Cameron Parish ground is different. Muck and soft clay compress under a load, while terrace ground holds a subsoil that sheds water poorly but stands up under a pad.
On terrace ground, a tight claypan stops water from moving down, so drainage is still the deciding choice. On marsh ground, the fill and the base come first, because the ground itself has to be made to hold.
Same materials, different order of work. Select fill and 610 limestone answer both, but on muck the fill does the early work.
