Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Grambling, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Grambling, LA, and the loads start with 610 limestone. That is the base this market builds drives and pads on.

Each product page has a calculator, so you size the load before you order.

Ground here is sandy loam over clay, and it sheds water sideways instead of soaking it in. That shapes what we haul: coarse stone for slope, swale and bank work first, then the finer sizes.

Materials for Grambling Projects

Slope and bank work starts coarse. RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection.

Rounded stone will not do that job, because it does not lock together.

Railroad Ballast is the other heavy option, coarse and angular for track beds, equipment pads and ground that stays wet. #4 Crushed Stone is roughly 1 1/2 inch and works on heavy drainage, erosion repair and soft ground.

For the drainage layer itself, Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It goes in French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Then the base and surface sizes. 610 Limestone is the Louisiana 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.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines, for a driveway surface, drainage and concrete work. #67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

Down at the fine end, Stone Screenings bed pavers and pack a path top. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and a smooth paver setting bed.

For beds and borders, Large River Rock is rounded cobble for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks. River Rock covers beds and ground where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in Grambling

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so timing a delivery around that matters more than the calendar.

The sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws, so slope is what moves it, not a water table.

That is why the drainage layer has to work. On bare sandy slopes, gully cutting starts quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws see stream and ditch scour.

Coarse clean stone and angular armour are what hold those edges.

Where you are raising low ground, Select Fill compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds, over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Questions About Stone in Grambling

What stone should I use for drainage in Grambling?

Start with Drain Rock, which is clean washed stone with the fines removed, for French drains, perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. #57 Limestone is the open graded size for general drainage, and #67 Stone is a little finer for trenches and pipe bedding.

On heavy drainage and wet ground, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse choice.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear spot where the load can be tipped in one pile. The driver tips it and leaves, so pick a spot you can work from and keep the approach open.

Have your quantity settled before the date, since it is chosen by the ton or the yard when you order.
