Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Evergreen, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Evergreen, LA to driveways, pads, banks and drainage work. The ground across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains is heavy clay and silt laid down by the rivers, so the base layer is where a project is won.

That is why 610 limestone, the local base with the fines still in it, does so much of the work here.

From there the choice comes down to how coarse you need to go.

Materials for Evergreen Projects

When water moves across a slope, a swale or a bayou bank, the stone has to be coarse and angular. Rounded stone rolls instead of locking, so it will not hold a bank.

Riprap is the angular armour for that job, and Louisiana Rock Supply delivers it for canal edges, bayou banks and slope protection.

On the coarsest end, #4 crushed stone handles heavy drainage and stabilises very wet ground. Railroad Ballast is another coarse angular option for track beds, equipment pads and ground that stays soft.

Below those sizes, #57 limestone is the clean open graded stone, about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work. #67 stone runs a little finer for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

Drain Rock is the washed stone for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and drywells.

For the base itself, 610 limestone is the local name for a crushed limestone base with stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete, sold as recycled base, is crushed and screened concrete with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

Finer work takes finer material. Stone Screenings bed and joint pavers and pack a path.

Mason Sand and Washed Sand, also called river sand, set a smooth bed under brick, block and flatwork. Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock dress beds and paths where nothing has to compact, and Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and decorative edging rather than bank armour.

On the ground side, Select Fill raises low spots because it compacts rather than settling. Top Soil and Garden Soil rebuild the growing layer, and Shredded Mulch dresses beds and tree rings.

Delivery to Evergreen and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you order.

A dump truck then tips the material on your site in one pile.

Evergreen sits in Avoyelles Parish, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including Marksville, Bunkie, Cottonport, Mansura and Simmesport. Have the drop spot clear and firm enough for a loaded truck to reach.

Ground and Conditions in Evergreen

Work on the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains runs year round. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass.

Time your delivery around that, because stone tipped onto ground that will not take water has nowhere to go.

The clay here is deep and heavy, and the water table sits close to the surface across this part of the state. The natural levee ridges are the ground that drains by itself.

The low ground between them holds rain until it is ditched or pumped away.

That is the reason the drainage layer matters as much as the base. Clean washed stone lets water through; fines-bearing material does not.

If you are working a slope or a bank, the erosion driver is bank cutting and sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, so arm it with angular stone before you dress anything else.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Evergreen

What stone should I use for drainage in Evergreen?

For drainage, use clean stone with the fines taken out, because fines hold water instead of letting it pass. Drain Rock is washed and suits French drains, perimeter drains and drywells.

#57 limestone and #67 stone are open graded and work in trenches and behind walls. On very wet ground or heavy flow, #4 crushed stone or Railroad Ballast gives you the coarsest open material.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and firm enough for a loaded truck to reach and turn around. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick a spot that works for how you plan to move the material.

Know your quantity before the date, ordered by the ton or the yard from the product page and its calculator, and keep the path to the pile open.
