Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Donner, LA

Planning a driveway, a parking pad or a drainage run? Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Donner, LA, and 610 limestone is the base most of that work starts from here.

Stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in to bind it, so it firms up as it is rolled. On ground this soft, the base course is the part that carries everything above it.

Materials for Donner Projects

Start with the base. 610 Limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is the compacted layer that goes under a driveway, a parking pad, a shed pad or flatwork.

It has the fines that make it harden.

Road Base, known locally as recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For the driving surface over a finished base, Driveway Gravel tops the work off. If the drive is already built and just needs a fresh surface, it goes straight on.

Where water has to move, use clean stone. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, the open graded size for drainage and concrete work.

Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out. It is the material for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and soil round out a project. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and a smooth paver setting bed.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds.

For beds, borders and ground cover where nothing has to compact, River Rock is the rounded decorative stone. Rounded stone does not lock together, so keep it out of anything structural.

Ground and Conditions in Donner

Water is the driver on this coast, not cold. The water table sits at or near the surface and the ground is already saturated, so nothing drains downward.

Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all. That is why the drainage layer has to be built from clean, open stone that lets water travel sideways to a ditch or a run.

Across the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, the soil is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The firm ground sits on natural levee ridges, old distributary channels and the cheniers.

On a soft lot, a pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it. Select Fill compacts instead of settling, so it goes under a base course rather than under a lawn.

If you are raising low ground, Select Fill is the material for it; spillway dirt is the other yard term for coarse borrow fill. River silt is the fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms.

Erosion work along canals and bayou banks takes angular stone. RipRap is the armour for bank and shoreline protection and slope work.

Large River Rock is decorative edging, not bank armour.

Work runs year round here, interrupted by rain and high water rather than by cold. Time a base course and a pour around the wet stretches, and keep a drainage run clear before the heavy season.
