Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Larose, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Larose, LA for two kinds of buyers: contractors building pads and drives, and homeowners patching a drive or raising a bed. Both groups ask for the same thing first, 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base this market names by the number.

Larose sits in Lafourche Parish, on ground where the water table stays close to the surface.

Materials for Larose Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first because almost every job here starts with a pad or a drive. 610 limestone, also called 610 base or CR610, is the Louisiana base: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in so it binds and hardens as it is rolled.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and flatwork.

610 Limestone is the layer that carries the load. Crushed Concrete, sold as recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed to a dense graded size with the fines left in.

Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

The clean stones sit on top of a base or handle water on their own. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, for a driveway surface, drainage and concrete work.

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

#4 Crushed Stone runs about 1 1/2 inch and suits heavy drainage, erosion work and very wet ground. #8 Crushed Stone is roughly 3/8 inch, for fine drainage and paver bedding, and #89 Crushed Stone packs paver joints and thin bedding layers.

Size also sells by the inch. 3/4" Crushed Stone surfaces drives and backfills trenches, while 3/8" Crushed Stone beds pavers and tops a walkway.

Where water has to move, Drain Rock is the washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. Railroad Ballast is the coarse angular stone for track beds, equipment pads and very wet ground.

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

Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork and backfills where a clean fine material is wanted.

Soil and fill handle grade. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course.

River silt and spillway dirt are Louisiana yard names for coarse fill listed beside it.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds, and Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds. Shredded Mulch dresses beds, tree rings and slopes, and cypress mulch is the Louisiana mulch a buyer asks for by name.

Decorative stone rounds out the list. Natural Pea Gravel suits paths, dog runs and play areas, river rock covers beds and borders, and large river rock edges dry creek beds.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is never bank armour.

Ground and Conditions in Larose

Across the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, the ground is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The firm ground is on natural levee ridges, old distributary channels and the shell and sand ridges of the coast.

Water is the driver. The water table sits at or near the surface and the ground is already saturated, so nothing drains downward.

Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all.

That changes what a base course has to do. A 610 limestone base spreads load over soft ground instead of letting a pad settle under its own weight.

Where a pad must come up out of the water, select fill or river silt raises the grade before any base goes down.

Because the ground stays wet, the drainage layer is the part that has to work. Drain rock and clean open graded stone give water somewhere to go when the soil will not take it.

Erosion follows the same pattern. Coastal and wetland loss, storm surge, canal and bayou bank retreat and wave action along open water all pull at edges, which is work for riprap and not for rounded stone.

Work runs year round here, interrupted by rain and high water rather than by cold. There is no frost depth to design around in this part of Louisiana.
