Fill and Base Material Delivered in Colfax, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Colfax, LA, and the material this ground asks for first is 610 limestone. The uplands here are sandy loam over clay, rolling rather than flat.

Each product page carries a calculator, so you can size a load before you order. Quantities go by the ton or by the yard.

Delivery to Colfax and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on your site in one pile.

Colfax sits in Grant Parish, and delivery covers the surrounding communities, including Montgomery, Pollock, Dry Prong, Georgetown and Bentley.

For a grade raising job, have the pad area cleared and reachable before the truck arrives. The driver tips the load and leaves it in a single pile.

Materials for Colfax Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground calls for most often. Low spots, wet draws and new building sites all need material under them before anything goes on top.

Select Fill is the grade raising material. It compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

Louisiana yards also list river silt and spillway dirt beside it as fill options.

610 Limestone is the local base course, also called #610, 610 base or CR610. It runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

Road Base is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is not crushed limestone.

For a driveway surface, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. Driveway Gravel tops a finished base course.

For drainage, Drain Rock is washed clean with the fines taken out. French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs all use it.

Ground and Conditions in Colfax

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 is what moves water here, not a water table. A pad built on bare sandy ground has to be compacted, because the surface goes quickly once the cover is gone.

Gully cutting on bare sandy slopes and scour in the draws are the erosion problems to plan for. Riprap armours banks and slope edges where water runs.

Work runs year round. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so time the base work around that.
