#89 Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for Grand Chenier, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Grand Chenier, LA, sold by the ton or the yard and sized with the calculator on each product page. Start with 610 limestone for a pad or a drive base.

This is the Chenier coast, where the firm ground is a shell ridge and everything between it is marsh. Water sits where it lands, so the drainage layer is not an afterthought.

Materials for Grand Chenier Projects

On ground this wet, the washed stone does the work that matters. Clean stone has the fines taken out, so water moves through it instead of filling the voids and stopping.

Drain Rock is the washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. A drywell gives roof water somewhere to go when the ditch is already full.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It works as a driveway surface and around drainage and concrete work.

#4 Crushed Stone is the coarse clean stone, roughly 1 1/2 inch. Use it where a large open stone is wanted for heavy drainage or to firm up very wet ground.

#89 Crushed Stone is the fine clean stone, for paver joints and thin bedding layers. Stone Screenings pack under pavers and on a path where you want a firm surface underfoot.

For a base that has to hold a vehicle, 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base size, 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 to a dense graded size with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

Delivery to Grand Chenier and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load on site in one pile.

Grand Chenier sits in Cameron Parish, and delivery reaches the surrounding area, including Hackberry, Cameron and Creole. A bulk load is heavy and wide, so it needs a spot a truck can reach and turn around in.

Soft ground is the thing to think about before the truck arrives. A pad that has been built up with Select Fill gives the truck something to stand on, and select fill compacts rather than settling the way marsh muck does.

Ground and Conditions in Grand Chenier

Work here runs year round and gets interrupted by rain and high water rather than by cold. That is the reason to time a delivery around the weather instead of a calendar.

The ground under this part of the coast is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The only firm ground is on the natural levee ridges, the old distributary channels and the cheniers, the shell and sand ridges of the southwest coast.

The water table sits at or near the surface, and the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward, so water leaves by pump, canal or not at all.

A pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it. That is why a base course goes over select fill, and why the drainage layer has to work from the first rain.
