Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Lake Arthur, LA

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Lake Arthur, LA runs year round, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and delivers it across Jefferson Davis Parish.

610 limestone is the base most flatwork here starts from. Order it when your ground is firm enough to work and the load can go straight to the pad.

Ground and Conditions in Lake Arthur

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the surface is a silt loam over a dense clay subsoil. Rain gets through the top layer and stops at the claypan, so water perches in the top foot and the ground stays soft well after the rain has gone.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry that water off. A paver bed laid on nothing but soil will move as the subsoil moves, and the joints open.

The fix is a compacted base course under the bedding layer. 610 limestone is the Louisiana base size, running from stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled.

Bare terrace ground also takes sheet flow, ditch and coulee scour, and rill cutting on fresh grade before it is covered. Get a base down and keep the water moving away from the edge.

Work runs year round here, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Time a delivery for a dry stretch and the base will compact instead of pumping.

Materials for Lake Arthur Projects

Under pavers and flatwork, the bedding layer is the part that decides how the finished surface sits. It has to be fine, even and clean, and it sits on top of a base that has already been compacted.

Stone Screenings, also called limestone screenings, are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. They bed pavers and pack a path surface.

Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed.

#89 Crushed Stone is a fine clean stone for paver joints and thin bedding layers.

#8 Crushed Stone is a small clean stone, roughly 3/8 inch, for fine drainage and paver bedding.

Under all of that, 610 Limestone is the compacted layer. Driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the layer under flatwork all take it.

Crushed Concrete, also called recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is a different material from crushed limestone, not the same product under another name.
