Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Keatchie, LA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Keatchie, LA by the ton or the yard, and Louisiana Rock Supply brings it to your site. Start with 610 limestone, the base material this market builds drives and pads on.

The upland ground here is sandy loam over clay, so a drive needs a base that binds rather than one that sits loose on the surface.

Materials for Keatchie Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first. Put down the right base and the surface on top of it lasts.

Base Materials

610 Limestone is the Louisiana base size: stone dust up to about two inches. The fines bind it, so it hardens as it is rolled.

Use 610 limestone for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork.

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.

Washed Stone

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

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It handles French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection.

Sand and Soil

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 runs to heavy clay.

Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens, which suit ground that sits wet.

Decorative Stone

Natural Pea Gravel is rounded pea sized gravel for paths, dog runs, play areas and pipe bedding.

River Rock is rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and ground cover where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in Keatchie

Water moves sideways here, not down. The sandy loam surface takes rain, and the clay beneath it does not, so water runs down the slopes and gathers in the draws.

Across the northern and western uplands, slope is what moves water. A drive cut across a slope sheds water toward the low side, and that edge is where it starts to fail.

Bare sandy slopes gully quickly once the cover is gone. Stream and ditch scour in the draws does the same work on a bank.

That shapes two choices. A fines-bearing base such as 610 limestone binds and holds where water crosses it, while a clean washed stone such as drain rock lets water through instead of holding it.

Erosion repair is the other half. RipRap armours a bank or a draw edge, and select fill raises low ground and builds a pad out of the water because it compacts rather than settling.

Work runs year round. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so time that part of the job around the weather.
