Bulk Material Delivery in Homer, LA

Water moves sideways here, not down. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Homer, LA starts with the slopes, because the sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not.

Louisiana Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand, soil and mulch by the ton. Start with 610 limestone for a compacted base, then pick the coarse sizes that hold a bank in place.

Materials for Homer Projects

Bank and swale work calls for angular stone that locks together. Rounded stone will not do it, no matter how heavy the piece.

RipRap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. It is the first material to reach for when a draw is cutting.

#4 Crushed Stone runs about 1 1/2 inch and handles heavy drainage, erosion work and very wet ground. Use it where the flow is strong and the ground stays soft.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, heavy equipment pads and wet ground that wants a large open stone. It sheds water instead of holding it.

Large River Rock is rounded cobble for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

For a driveway or pad, 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base. Stone dust up to about two inches binds it, so it hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in. 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. It drains, so it belongs on a surface or around a pipe, not under a slab.

Finer clean stone has its own jobs. #67 Stone suits drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. The drainage layer is the part that has to work.

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

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.

Ground and Conditions in Homer

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

The uplands are sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat. Sandy loam ridges drain well, and clay in the draws does not.

That split drives the erosion. Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone, and streams and ditches scour in the draws.

So the base and the drainage layer carry the load. Build the pad up out of the water with Select Fill, which compacts rather than settling.

Then cap it with 610 limestone and let the fines bind. On a slope, put angular stone where the water leaves the site.

Frost is not a factor in this part of Louisiana. Design here is about wind and water, not ground freezing.
