Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Jefferson Davis Parish, LA

Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Jefferson Davis Parish, LA from Louisiana Rock Supply. Pick your material, size the load, and a dump truck tips it on site.

Start with 610 limestone, the dense graded base that packs hard under drives, pads and flatwork. It carries stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it together.

Ground Conditions Across Jefferson Davis Parish

This parish sits on the southwest coastal prairie terraces. The surface is a silt loam over a dense clay subsoil, and a tight claypan often sits close enough to stop roots and water alike.

That claypan is the driver. Rain gets through the silt loam, hits the dense subsoil, and stops.

Water perches in the top foot, and the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

Ground this flat has no fall to carry water off. Plan a drainage layer, not just a surface.

Erosion shows up as sheet flow across bare terrace ground, ditch and coulee scour, and rill cutting on fresh grade before it is covered. Cover that grade with a base course or stone, and the cutting stops.

Work runs year round here. Wet spells set the schedule, not cold ones, so plan the load around the water table rather than the season.

Materials Delivered in Jefferson Davis Parish

Louisiana yards name material by size, and that is how to order it. The base sizes and the clean sizes do different jobs, and the local names below are the ones to use.

Base

610 limestone is the Louisiana base size and the one to lead with. Louisiana DOTD specifies aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, with soundness and abrasion under Subsection 1003.01.

Order 610 for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork. Crushed concrete does the same base job as a recycled Class II base course material.

Washed Stone, Sand and Soil

Above the base, #57 limestone and #67 stone drain and bed. #4 crushed stone handles heavy drainage and soft, saturated ground, while #8 and #89 crushed stone bed pavers and fill joints.

Drain rock is the washed clean stone for French drains and foundation perimeter drains. Mason sand and washed sand bed pipe, brick and block work and pavers.

Select fill raises low ground and builds a pad out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling. Top soil and garden soil cover it, and raised beds matter here because the natural ground sits wet.

Decorative

Natural Pea Gravel, river rock and large river rock cover paths, beds and borders. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it stays a surface dressing.

Riprap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour.

Choosing the Right Material

Acadia Parish and Calcasieu Parish share this ground region, the southwest coastal prairie terraces. The same silt loam over dense clay and the same claypan apply, so the base and drainage choices carry over unchanged.

Cameron Parish is different ground. It sits on the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, where organic muck and soft clay are under consolidated and highly compressible.

Firm ground there is limited to natural levee ridges, old distributary channels and the cheniers. On ground that soft, a compacted base course will not hold, and drainage has to be designed around movement rather than load.
