Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in LaPlace, LA

Gravel and aggregate delivery in LaPlace, LA runs year round, and rain is what interrupts it. Louisiana Rock Supply brings 610 limestone, washed stone, sand and soil to sites across St.

John the Baptist Parish.

Work here stops for high water, not for cold. Order when the ground has a chance to dry.

Materials for LaPlace Projects

Grading and bed prep start with fill and soil. Ground in this part of the deltaic plain is soft and sits wet, so a pad has to be built up before anything is planted or poured.

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.

Spillway dirt is the same family of coarse fill.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair. It goes over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens. Raised beds matter here, because the natural ground sits wet.

Under all of that, 610 limestone is the base. It runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

It goes under driveways, parking pads and shed pads.

Crushed 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.

Ground and Conditions in LaPlace

The water table across the deltaic plain sits at or near the surface, and the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward.

Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all.

That changes what a drainage layer has to do. Clean washed stone with the fines taken out is the part that has to work, because a fines-bearing material will not pass water.

Soil across this ground region is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. A pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it.

That is why fill goes in first and why select fill is the material for it.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Storm surge, canal and bayou bank retreat and wave action along open water all move ground.

Angular stone holds a bank; rounded stone does not lock together and is not bank armour.

What stone should I use for drainage in LaPlace?

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, and it suits French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch, and works for drainage and concrete.

#67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

Order Fill, Soil and Stone for Your LaPlace Project

Grading, bed prep, driveways, pads and drainage all take different material, and the ground here decides which. Build the pad with select fill, plant into top soil or garden soil, and set the base with 610 limestone.
