Start with 610 limestone if you are building a pad or a drive. On ground this soft, the base layer is the part that has to hold.

Materials for Harvey Projects

Water is the driver on most sites in Harvey. The ground is soft clay and organic muck, so a drainage layer has to move water sideways rather than let it sit.

Washed stone is where that work starts. Drain Rock is clean and graded with the fines taken out, so it stays open.

It goes in French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Size matters more than volume in a drain. #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse clean stone at roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage and for firming up very wet ground.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. It suits drainage runs, concrete work and a driveway surface over a finished base.

#8 Crushed Stone is the small clean stone at roughly 3/8 inch. Use it for fine drainage and for bedding under pavers.

#89 Crushed Stone is finer still, for paver joints and thin bedding layers. Stone Screenings pack tight under pavers and on a path.

For a base under flatwork or a parking pad, 610 limestone is the local name and the local size: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines that bind it as it is rolled. 610 Limestone is what a Louisiana crew means by 610 base.

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is not crushed limestone and it is not the same product.

You order online. Choose your material, set the quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

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

The truck tips and leaves. It does not spread, spot or place the material, so plan where you want the pile to sit before the date arrives.

Ground and Conditions in Harvey

Harvey is on the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, where the water table sits at or near the surface and the ground is already saturated.

Nothing here drains downward. Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all, and a pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it.

That is the case for a proper base and a working drainage layer rather than a surface dressing alone. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it will not hold a bank.

Work runs year round here and is interrupted by rain and high water rather than by cold. Time a delivery around the wet spells, because a saturated site is hard to build on.

Questions About Material in Harvey

Do you deliver 610 limestone to Harvey, LA?

Yes. Louisiana Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone in bulk to Harvey and the surrounding Jefferson Parish area, along with the other materials on the site.

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

What gravel is best for a driveway in Harvey?

It depends on what the drive sits on. A soft, wet base wants 610 limestone first, because the fines bind and it hardens as it is rolled.

Then top it with #57 limestone, the clean open graded stone at about 3/4 inch, so the surface drains instead of holding water.
