Fill and Base Material Delivered in Collinston, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Collinston, LA, and the ground here shapes what you order. In this part of the northern and western uplands, sandy loam sits over clay, so a pad or a drive has to be built up before it is built on.

That is why 610 limestone, the local base material also called #610, does so much of the work around here.

Materials for Collinston Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the first job on a lot here, and the material you use for it decides how everything above it holds up. Select Fill is the grade raising choice, because it compacts instead of settling under a base course.

River silt, the fine alluvial fill Louisiana yards list beside fill dirt, does similar work on low ground. Both go under a base, not under a lawn.

For the base itself, 610 limestone is the compacted layer that carries a driveway, a parking pad or the flatwork above it. Road Base, also called recycled base, is recycled Portland cement concrete screened with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

On the surface, the clean open graded sizes take over. #57 limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it works as a driveway surface and around drainage and concrete work.

#67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

A patio or a walkway asks for different sizes. Stone Screenings pack under pavers and top a path, and Mason Sand gives a smooth setting bed for brick and block.

For beds and borders, Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock cover ground where nothing has to compact. RipRap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour.

Ground and Conditions in Collinston

Across the northern and western uplands, the surface is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat. The sandy loam takes water 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. That is why an under-built base fails on these lots: water reaches the clay, stops, and works along it.

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

RipRap and #4 Crushed Stone armour those edges, while Drain Rock handles the clean drainage layer.

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so grade and base work is best placed when those low spots are firm.
