Bulk Material Delivery in DeRidder, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in DeRidder, LA, and 610 limestone is the base this market builds on. It runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

DeRidder sits in Beauregard Parish on level terrace ground, where a silt loam surface sits over dense clay. That ground shapes which material fits which job.

Materials for DeRidder Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slope, swale and bank protection around DeRidder. Angular stone is what holds ground in place; rounded stone does not lock together and is not bank armour.

Coarse stone for slope and bank work

RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. #4 Crushed Stone is a coarse clean stone, roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, heavy equipment pads and very wet ground where a large open stone is wanted. Large River Rock is rounded cobble for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks.

Clean stone for drainage

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it drains.

#67 Stone is a clean stone a little finer than #57, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete. #8 Crushed Stone is a small clean stone, roughly 3/8 inch, for fine drainage and paver bedding.

Base and fill

610 Limestone is the compacted layer under drives, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork. Road Base is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.

Ground and Conditions in DeRidder

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

The ground is level Pleistocene terrace with a silt loam surface over dense clay. Rain gets through the surface, reaches the 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 water off. A drainage layer of clean stone is the part that has to work, and fines-bearing material will not do that job.

Bare terrace ground also moves. Sheet flow crosses it, ditches and coulees scour, and fresh grade rills before it is covered.

Angular stone on those edges holds where rounded stone will not.
