#8 Limestone for Patios in Cheneyville, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Cheneyville, LA, with 610 limestone as the base material most local work starts from. The ground in this part of Rapides Parish is sandy loam over clay, lighter on the ridges and heavier in the draws.

That mix decides what you order. A patio, a pad or a driveway here needs a base that binds and a clean stone that lets water move.

Ground and Conditions in Cheneyville

Across the northern and western uplands, the sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws rather than sitting in one water table.

For a patio or a flatwork pad, that shows up as a base that pumps or shifts when the clay under it stays wet. The fix is a base course with fines that bind and harden, so the load spreads instead of punching.

Bare sandy slopes go quickly once the cover is gone, and gullies cut where water concentrates. Ditch and stream scour in the draws does the same damage to unprotected banks.

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so time your order around the ground you are building on.

Materials for Cheneyville Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the material choice shows up first. Get the layer under the surface right and the patio stays flat; get it wrong and the surface moves with the clay.

610 Limestone

610 Limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, is the Louisiana base size: stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled. It acts as the compacted layer under flatwork, driveways, parking pads and shed or building pads.

Stone Screenings

Stone Screenings, also called limestone screenings, are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. They bed pavers and pack down as a top for a path.

Washed Sand and Mason Sand

Washed Sand, also called river sand, gives a clean fine setting bed under pavers and flatwork, and backfills where a clean material is wanted. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and a smooth paver setting bed.

#8 Limestone and Drain Rock

#8 Limestone, also called #8 crushed stone, is a small clean stone at roughly 3/8 inch, for fine drainage and paver bedding. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.
