Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Claiborne Parish, LA

Sandy loam ridges shed water fast in Claiborne Parish. The clay in the draws does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers.

Gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Claiborne Parish, LA starts with that.

Louisiana Rock Supply delivers bulk material by the ton to Homer, Haynesville, Athens, Lisbon and Summerfield. Start with 610 limestone, the dense graded base size.

Materials Delivered in Claiborne Parish

Louisiana DOTD specifies aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges. The soundness and abrasion requirements sit in Subsection 1003.01.

An aggregate source has to meet Section 1003 to be listed on the department's approved materials list.

In the trade, the size designation is what a buyer says. 610 is the dense graded base size, carrying everything from stone dust up to about two inches.

The same 610 designation is used for crushed limestone and for recycled Portland cement concrete, which Louisiana permits as a Class II base course material.

Clean stone sizes run from #4 down through #57, #67, #8 and #89. #8 Crushed Stone is roughly 3/8 inch for fine drainage and paver bedding.

#89 Crushed Stone is a fine clean stone for paver joints and thin bedding layers.

3/4" Crushed Stone is sold by inch size as well as by number, for drive surfacing, trench backfill and general drainage. 3/8" Crushed Stone is a fine crushed size for bedding under pavers and topping a walkway.

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

Washed Sand beds pipe and flatwork, and Louisiana yards also call it river sand.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair, over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens, and raised beds matter here because the natural ground sits wet.

Ground Conditions Across Claiborne Parish

The uplands here are sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat. Sandy loam ridges sit above clay in the draws.

Lighter and better drained than the southern half of the state.

The sandy loam surface takes water, and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws.

Slope rather than a water table is what moves it here.

Bare sandy slopes gully quickly once the cover is gone. Stream and ditch scour follows in the draws.

That is where riprap and a clean drainage layer earn their place.

Work runs year round. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so timing a delivery around that clay is the practical call.

Select fill is the grade raising material for low ground, and Louisiana yards list river silt and spillway dirt beside it. Select Fill compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course.

Choosing the Right Material

Lincoln Parish, Union Parish and Webster Parish all sit on the same ground region as Claiborne Parish. Sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat, with clay in the draws.

The ground is the same across all four, so the material choice does not change at the parish line.

Match the material to the job. 610 limestone is the dense graded base for drives, pads and the layer under flatwork.

Crushed concrete does the same work as a Class II base course material.

Clean stone handles water. #57, #67, #4 and drain rock all run open graded with no fines, so water passes instead of sitting.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so river rock and large river rock stay decorative and are not bank armour.

Riprap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. Railroad ballast is the coarse angular option for track beds, heavy equipment pads and very wet ground.
