Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Cloutierville, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Cloutierville, LA, by the ton. The base material here is 610 limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, crushed stone with the fines left in.

It is the layer that goes under drives, parking pads and flatwork. Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the ground is heavy clay and silty clay loam that holds water, so the base does the work.

Materials for Cloutierville Projects

Coarse stone is what carries slope, swale and bank protection work here, and the sizes run from the largest down to the fine bedding materials. Each one behaves differently, so match the stone to the job.

Riprap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour, which is why the angular product is the one for cut banks and ditch edges.

Large River Rock is rounded cobble for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks. It is a surface and shape material, not a structural one.

#4 Crushed Stone is a coarse clean stone of about 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground. Railroad Ballast is the same idea for track beds, heavy equipment pads and very wet ground.

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. Where the water table sits close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines, and #67 and #89 step down finer for trenches, pipe bedding and paver work. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pack down under pavers and on a path top.

Ground and Conditions in Cloutierville

Work here runs year round. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass, so a delivery is best timed for ground that will take a truck and a roller.

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the soil is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers, with sandier natural levee ridges along the old channels and backswamp clay in the low ground between them.

The land is flat, the ridges are the only ground that drains by itself, and the backswamp holds rain until it is ditched away. That is why a drainage layer matters more than a surface dressing on low lots.

Erosion comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. Riprap and coarse stone are the answer on those edges, and 610 limestone is the answer under a pad that has to stay put.

Questions from Cloutierville Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Cloutierville?

Use a clean stone with the fines screened out. Drain Rock is washed for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, while #57, #67, #4 and 3/4 inch crushed stone cover trench backfill, heavy drainage and wet ground.

Fines-bearing material like 610 limestone is a compacted base, not a drainage stone.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm spot where the pile can be tipped, and enough room for the truck to reach it. The load is dumped in one pile on the ground you choose, so the surface needs to hold a loaded truck without rutting.
