Delivery to Lecompte and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then tips the load in one pile at the site.

Lecompte sits in Rapides Parish, and delivery covers the city and the surrounding area. That includes Alexandria, Pineville, Ball, Woodworth and Glenmora.

Materials for Lecompte Projects

Decorative work is where a lot of yards around here start, and the material you pick decides how the bed or the creek bed behaves. Rounded stone and clean stone each do a different job.

River Rock is rounded decorative stone for beds, borders and ground cover. It is a surface dressing, so nothing under it has to compact.

Large River Rock is the rounded cobble size, used for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

For a dry creek bed that has to move water, line it with Drain Rock, a clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It is also the material for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Where a bank or a bayou edge actually needs holding, use RipRap. It is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection.

For paths, dog runs and play areas, Natural Pea Gravel is the rounded pea sized option. It also beds pipe.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch as a surface dressing. Buyers here often ask for cypress mulch by name, and the storefront sells shredded mulch.

Driveways and pads are a different order. Start with 610 Limestone, the compacted base under a drive, a parking pad or flatwork.

Top a finished base with Driveway Gravel, or use #57 Limestone, the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. It is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work.

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.

For a patio, Mason Sand gives a smooth paver setting bed, and Stone Screenings pack the joints and top a path. Garden Soil fills raised beds, which matter here because the natural ground sits wet.

Ground and Conditions in Lecompte

Across the northern and western uplands, the surface is sandy loam over older sands and clays, and the land rolls rather than lying flat. The sandy loam takes water, and the clay beneath it does not.

So water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws. Slope, more than a water table, is what moves water here.

That matters to a base. A drive or a pad built on ground that sheds water sideways still needs a base that will not pump when the clay below stays soft.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws see stream and ditch scour. Riprap on a bank edge and ground cover on a slope both work against that.

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so that is the condition to watch.
