Landscaping Material Delivered in Jonesboro, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Jonesboro, LA, to driveways, beds and building pads. Start with 610 limestone, the local base material, also called #610 or 610 base.

It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, so it binds and hardens as it is rolled. That makes it the compacted layer under flatwork and the surface of a working drive.

Delivery to Jonesboro 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 your site.

Each product page has a calculator if you need to size the load. Jonesboro sits in Jackson Parish, and delivery covers the city and the surrounding area, including Chatham, Quitman and Eros.

Bulk loads arrive loose and are tipped in one pile, so it helps to have the drop spot clear before the truck reaches you. The driver tips the material and leaves it where it lands.

Materials for Jonesboro Projects

Decorative rock carries the landscaping side of a project here. Rounded stone covers beds, borders and dry creek beds, where nothing has to compact or carry a wheel.

River Rock is the rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and ground cover. It sits on top of the soil and stays loose.

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

RipRap is the angular stone for the work that has to hold: bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection.

Natural Pea Gravel is rounded pea sized gravel for paths, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that bed pavers and pack a path surface.

For a driveway or a patio, the base comes first. 610 Limestone goes down as the compacted layer, then a clean stone or a decorative surface goes on top.

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

For a drain, clean washed stone with the fines taken out is the right choice. Drain Rock suits French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Jonesboro

The uplands here are rolling rather than flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws. The sandy loam surface takes water, and the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes.

That puts the water in the draws, and slope rather than a water table is what moves it. A base built on bare sandy ground is the part that fails when the cover is gone.

Gully cutting on bare sandy slopes happens quickly, and stream and ditch scour follows in the draws. Riprap and clean stone armour the edges where water concentrates.

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so a base course goes down when the ground under it is workable.
