Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Frierson, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Frierson, LA, with 610 limestone as the base material most flatwork here starts from. Work runs year round in De Soto Parish, and the wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass.

If you are bedding pavers or pouring a slab, the material under it decides how the surface holds up. Order online and a dump truck tips the load on site.

Ground and Conditions in Frierson

Across the northern and western uplands, the surface is sandy loam over clay. The sand takes water and the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws.

A thin base shows its failure first at the edges of a patio or pad. The surface stone shifts, joints open, and the slab rocks underfoot.

That is a bedding problem, not a surface problem.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies once the cover is gone, and the draws scour. Grade the pad so water leaves it, then build the bedding layer on a base that stays put.

Wet clay in the draws is the one thing that stops a compaction pass. Time a delivery when the ground under the pad is workable.

Materials for Frierson Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the wrong pick shows up fastest. The layers below the surface carry the load, and each one has a job.

610 Limestone

610 limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, is the Louisiana base size: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in so it binds and hardens as it is rolled. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Use 610 Limestone as the structural layer, then bed the pavers or pour on top of it.

Bedding and Joint Materials

Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. They bed pavers and pack the surface of a path.

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

Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork and backfills where a clean fine material is wanted.

Clean Stone and Drainage

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It drains and it works for concrete.

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

Fill and Growing Layers

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.
