Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Chatham, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Chatham, LA to driveways, pads and building sites across Jackson Parish. The base most of that work starts from is 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base this market asks for by name.

Chatham sits on the rolling uplands of the northern part of the state, where sandy loam ridges drop into clay draws. That ground decides which material belongs where.

Materials for Chatham 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 carries a driveway, a parking pad or the layer under flatwork. Order it as 610 Limestone.

Road Base does the same job from a different source. It is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened dense graded with the fines kept in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is not crushed limestone, and it is ordered as Road Base.

Above the base you need a clean stone. #57 limestone is the open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines, so water runs through it instead of sitting on it.

It surfaces a drive and it works around drainage and concrete. Order it as #57 Limestone.

Where a clean stone has to be finer, #67 stone fits drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete work. It is the same clean family as #57, one size down, and it is ordered as #67 Stone.

Sand and soil cover the rest of a site. Mason sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block and for a smooth paver setting bed, ordered as Mason Sand.

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

Decorative stone finishes beds and borders. River rock is rounded stone for ground cover where nothing has to compact, and it is ordered as River Rock.

Ground and Conditions in Chatham

Across the northern and western uplands, water is what shapes the work. The sandy loam surface takes rain in, and the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws.

Slope, not a water table, is what moves water here. A driveway cut across a slope sheds water onto the low side, and a pad built into a draw sits in whatever the slopes send down.

That is why the drainage layer has to be a clean stone. #57 limestone and #67 stone have no fines, so water passes through and keeps moving rather than backing up under the surface.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws scour along streams and ditches.

Riprap is the angular stone for bank and slope armour, and it is ordered as RipRap.

Work runs year round in this part of Louisiana. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so a base course goes in when that ground is workable.
