Fill and Base Material Delivered in Kinder, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kinder, LA, and the ground here sets the order. This is coastal prairie terrace country, silt loam over dense clay, so a pad or drive starts with fill and a compacted base before anything goes on top.

Start with the calculator on each product page to size your load, then pick your material. 610 limestone is the Louisiana base, and it is where most pad and drive work begins.

Raising grade and building a pad is the work this ground asks for first. The silt loam surface holds water over a dense clay subsoil, so the fill layer and the base course under it carry the load.

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

River silt and spillway dirt are yard terms for the same grade raising job.

610 Limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is the compacted layer under a driveway, a parking pad or flatwork. The stone dust and fines bind it, so it hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete screened to a dense graded size, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For a driveway surface, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a finished base course.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Screenings bed pavers and pack a path, and Mason Sand gives a smooth paver setting bed. Walkway Gravel is a finer gravel that packs underfoot.

For a drain, Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. #67 Stone is a clean stone a little finer than #57, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Kinder

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the ground is level Pleistocene terrace with a silt loam surface over dense clay. A claypan sits close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike.

Rain gets through the silt loam, reaches the dense subsoil and stops. Water perches in the top foot, so the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone, and on ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off.

That is why an under-built base fails here. The fill layer has to be select fill that compacts, and the drainage layer has to be clean stone with the fines washed out, or the water sits in the base and the surface moves.

Erosion comes from sheet flow across bare terrace ground, ditch and coulee scour, and rill cutting on a fresh grade before it is covered. Work runs year round, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule.
