Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Evangeline Parish, LA
Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Evangeline Parish, LA for contractors and homeowners alike. Some buyers are building a driveway from scratch, and some are topping up a pad that has settled.
Either way, the conversation starts with 610 limestone.
That is the dense graded base size in this part of Acadiana, and it is what most of the ground here wants under it.
Materials Delivered in Evangeline Parish
610 limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, is the Louisiana base size. It carries everything from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.
Louisiana DOTD specifies aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, with soundness and abrasion requirements in Subsection 1003.01. A source has to meet Section 1003 to be listed on the department's approved materials list.
For drainage and decorative work, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse clean size for heavy drainage and erosion work. River Rock covers beds and borders where nothing has to compact.
Choosing the Right Material
Rapides Parish sits on the northern and western uplands, where sandy loam runs over Tertiary sands and clays. That ground is rolling rather than flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws, and it is lighter and better drained than the southern half of the state.
Evangeline Parish is nothing like that. Here the surface is a silt loam over a dense clay subsoil, with a tight claypan often close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike.
Allen Parish and St. Landry Parish share that same coastal prairie ground, so the base and drainage choices there look like the ones here.
Ground Conditions Across Evangeline Parish
Start with the claypan. Rain gets through the silt loam surface, reaches 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 that water off, so a drainage layer is the part that has to work. Drain Rock is built for exactly that job.
Bare terrace ground also loses material to sheet flow, ditch and coulee scour, and rill cutting on a fresh grade before it is covered. RipRap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection.
Work here runs year round, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. That is why select fill compacts rather than settling, and why it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.
