Bulk Material Delivery in Edgard, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Edgard, LA, and 610 limestone is the base this ground usually calls for. Across the deltaic plain the ground is soft and compressible, and the water table sits close to the surface.

That shapes what you order. A pad has to hold up on its own before anything parks on it.

Materials for Edgard Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for here. Because the ground drains poorly and the water table sits near the surface, the drainage layer is the part of a job that has to work.

Washed stone is where most drainage starts. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Size the clean stone to the trench. #57 Limestone is the open graded size at about 3/4 inch, and #67 Stone runs a little finer for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

When a run has to move a lot of water, or the ground is very wet, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse clean option at roughly 1 1/2 inch. #8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage and paver bedding, and #89 Crushed Stone works for paver joints and thin bedding layers.

For a drive or a pad, 610 limestone is the base. Stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

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

Sand and soil round out a job. Washed Sand beds pipe and flatwork, while Top Soil and Garden Soil cover the growing side.

Delivery to Edgard and the Surrounding Area

Edgard sits in St. John the Baptist Parish, and the storefront delivers across the parish, including LaPlace, Reserve, Garyville and Mount Airy.

You order online. Quantities go by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load.

You pick your delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile, so it helps to know where that pile should land before the truck arrives.

Ordering early in the week leaves room to shift if rain moves through, because the working season here is broken up by water rather than by cold.

Ground and Conditions in Edgard

The ground across this part of the state is coastal marsh: organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The only firm ground is on natural levee ridges and old distributary channels.

The water table is at or near the surface, and the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward; it leaves by pump, canal or not at all.

Two consequences follow. A pad built on muck settles under its own weight, so soft ground needs select fill brought up first to raise it out of the water.

The second is drainage. With nowhere for water to go, clean washed stone is what moves it away from a foundation, a drive or a low corner of the lot.

Erosion follows the same water. Bank retreat along canals and bayous, and wave action on open water, are what riprap is for.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.
