Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Loranger, LA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Loranger, LA by the ton or the yard, and Louisiana Rock Supply tips it on your site. Start with 610 limestone if you are building a driveway or a pad.

The ground under it is the hard part here.

This is flat terrace country across the Florida parishes pine flatwoods, with a sandy surface over a dense subsoil. Water sits in the top of the profile in the wet season.

Build for that and the rest follows.

Materials for Loranger Projects

Grading and bed prep carry a lot of the work around here. That starts with soil and fill, then moves to the base and the clean stone above it.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair. The natural ground is heavy clay in places, and a lawn wants something better to root in.

Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens. Build the bed up, because the ground sits wet through the winter.

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.

Louisiana yards also list river silt and spillway dirt as grade raising materials.

Shredded Mulch dresses beds, tree rings and slopes. It is a surface dressing, not a structural material.

Base and Clean Stone

610 Limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, is the Louisiana base size. Stone dust runs up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is not crushed limestone.

#57 Limestone, also called #57 stone or 57 rock, is a clean open graded size around 3/4 inch with no fines. It drains, so it surfaces a drive and goes under concrete.

Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out. It goes in French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and Decorative

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.

River Rock covers beds and borders where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in Loranger

Rain and storms arrive often, and the flat ground does not shed water quickly. The surface looks sandy.

The layer under it is not.

A dense, slowly permeable subsoil sits under level terrace ground, so the water table rises into the root zone in the wet season and stays. A drive or pad built on that needs a base that works when the ground is wet.

Where grade is left bare, sheet flow moves across flat ground and cuts rills in the sandy surface. Ditch scour follows the same water.

Riprap and large river rock hold edges and banks, but rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here. What sets the schedule is how wet the ground is, not how cold it gets.
