#67 Limestone, Stone and Soil Delivery in Jeanerette, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Jeanerette, LA, and the material this market builds on is 610 limestone. It is the crushed limestone base that firms up under a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad.

Jeanerette sits in Iberia Parish, on ground laid down by the rivers: heavy silty clay and clay loam, with sandier ridges along the old channels. That ground decides which stone you need.

Materials for Jeanerette Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for here. The water table sits high and the clay will not take water, so a drainage layer has to work on its own.

Drain rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It goes in French drains, drywells, downspout runs and foundation perimeter drains, where nothing silts up the void.

Pipe bedding and trench work take a finer clean stone. #67 Stone is a little finer than #57 and fits drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

For a drive or a pad, start with the base. 610 Limestone is stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled.

It carries driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Above that base, a clean open graded stone gives you a surface that sheds water. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it suits a driveway surface, drainage and concrete work.

Where the ground is very wet, a coarse open stone is the better call. #4 Crushed Stone runs roughly 1 1/2 inch and handles heavy drainage and erosion work.

Around beds and borders, rounded stone covers ground where nothing has to compact. River Rock works for beds, borders and ground cover.

Under pavers, the fine end of the range does the bedding. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen, and they bed and joint pavers and pack a path.

Ground and Conditions in Jeanerette

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, work runs year round. Heavy rain and saturated clay are what stop a compaction pass, not cold.

So timing matters more than season. A delivery date picked after a dry stretch gives you clay that will take a roller; a date in the middle of a wet spell does not.

On ground this flat, the natural levee ridges are the only ground that drains by itself. The low ground between them holds rain until it is ditched or pumped away.

That is why a drainage layer is not optional on a low lot. Clean washed stone with the fines out keeps a void open, while a fines-bearing base placed in standing water will not firm up.

Erosion follows the same water. River and bayou banks cut, bare clay sheets off after a hard rain, and ditches and canals scour.

For bank and shoreline work, angular stone is the material. RipRap armours banks, canal and bayou edges and slopes.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Where you are raising low ground instead of draining it, Select Fill builds a pad up out of the water, because it compacts rather than settling.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Jeanerette?

It depends on what the drive sits on. On ground that stays wet, 610 limestone makes a base that binds and hardens as it is rolled, because the stone dust up to about two inches holds it together.

Over a finished base, #57 Limestone gives a clean open graded surface that sheds water.
