Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Ferriday, LA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Ferriday, LA by the ton or the yard. Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk 610 limestone, clean stone, sand, topsoil and fill, ordered online and tipped at your site.

Ground here is heavy river clay that holds water, so what you put under a drive matters as much as what you put on top.

Materials for Ferriday Projects

Start with the base. 610 limestone is the Louisiana base size, stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork. Order it as 610 Limestone, also called #610 or 610 base.

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

Buy it as Crushed Concrete. It is not crushed limestone, and it is not a substitute for stone.

For the surface layer, #57 limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. Clean stone lets water through instead of holding it, which suits a driveway surface and drainage work.

Order #57 Limestone for a drive top, a French drain, or concrete work. #67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work.

Washed Sand, which yards here also call river sand, beds pipe and flatwork. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds over ground that is more clay than a lawn wants.

Ground and Conditions in Ferriday

Water is the driver here. Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains the land is flat and the water table sits high, and the clay will not take water.

Rain sits until it is pumped or ditched away. The natural levee ridges are the ground that drains by itself, and the backswamp between them holds what falls.

That shapes the build. A base course over saturated clay pumps and will not compact, so the drainage layer has to work before anything above it will.

Use clean washed stone for that layer. Drain Rock has the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Where ground stays wet, a coarse open stone like #4 Crushed Stone stabilises it. Railroad Ballast does the same job on equipment pads.

Erosion runs to the banks. River and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch scour all move soil.

RipRap is the angular stone for bank armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. Rounded stone will not hold a slope, so keep river rock for beds and borders.

Work runs year round in Concordia Parish. Heavy rain and saturated clay stop a compaction pass, not cold.
