Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Campti, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Campti, LA for driveways, pads and drainage work. If you are building a drive or a parking pad, 610 limestone is the base that carries it.

Campti sits in Natchitoches Parish, on ground laid down by the rivers and heavy with clay. That ground decides what you put under a drive and how you keep water moving away from it.

Materials for Campti Projects

Start with the base. 610 limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is crushed limestone with the fines left in, running from stone dust up to about two inches.

Those fines bind the material, so it hardens as it is rolled and holds a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad.

Road Base, sold locally as recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened with the fines left in. It is a base course material in its own right, not crushed limestone, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course.

For the surface layer, #57 limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. It sheds water instead of holding it, which is what a drive surface and a drainage run need.

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

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling.

Ground and Conditions in Campti

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the ground is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam, deep and fertile and heavy. The natural levee ridges along the old channels are sandier and drain on their own.

The low ground between them is backswamp clay.

That clay will not take water, and the water table sits close to the surface. Rain has nowhere to go on flat ground, so it stands until a ditch or a pump moves it.

A drive built on that ground needs a base that compacts and a drainage layer that actually works.

This is where 610 limestone earns its place. The fines bind it into a hard, tight layer that sheds the load across the whole pad instead of letting one spot pump.

Under it, Drain Rock gives water a path out.

Bank cutting along the bayous and sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain are the erosion problems here. RipRap is the angular stone for armouring a bank or a canal edge, and rounded stone will not do that job because it does not lock together.

Work runs year round in this part of Louisiana. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass, so timing a base around a wet spell matters more than the calendar.
