Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in Delcambre, LA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Delcambre, LA, Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton. The ground here is coastal prairie: a silt loam surface over dense clay subsoil.

That layering decides how deep a base has to go, and 610 limestone is the local base that answers it.

Materials for Delcambre Projects

Standing water is the first problem on most lots here, so start with clean washed stone. Drain rock has the fines taken out, which is what a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run needs to keep moving water.

Where the stone has to carry a load instead, the numbered limestone sizes do the work. Match the size to the job:

• Drain Rock: French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.
• #4 Crushed Stone: heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground.
• #57 Limestone: the clean 3/4 inch size, used for drainage and concrete work.
• #67 Stone: a finer clean stone for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.
• 610 Limestone: the compacted base under drives, pads and flatwork.

610 limestone is stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled. It goes under a driveway or a shed pad.

Road Base is a recycled Portland cement concrete base, screened dense graded with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material. It is not crushed limestone.

For the finish layer, Washed Sand beds pipe and flatwork, and Stone Screenings pack under pavers and paths. Top Soil rebuilds the growing layer over clay that a lawn will not take to.

Ground and Conditions in Delcambre

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the claypan is the thing that shapes a job. Rain moves through the silt loam surface, hits the dense subsoil and stops, so water perches in the top foot and the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off.

That is why the drainage layer has to be right before anything is built on top of it. A clean open stone lets water down and away.

A fines-bearing material will not, and 610 limestone is a base, not a drain.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Sheet flow crosses bare terrace ground, ditches and coulees scour, and fresh grade rills before it is covered.

Work runs year round here, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule, so timing a delivery around a dry stretch matters more than the calendar.
