Bulk Material Delivery in Luling, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Luling, LA. Water sits at or near the surface across the deltaic plain, so the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Start with 610 limestone for a pad that has to hold, then size the clean stone to move water off it.

Order online by the ton or by the yard. A dump truck tips the load on your site.

Materials for Luling Projects

Bank and slope work starts coarse. Rounded stone will not lock together, so it cannot armour anything that faces moving water.

RipRap is the angular stone for canal and bayou edges, shoreline banks and slope protection. #4 Crushed Stone runs about 1 1/2 inch and suits heavy drainage, erosion work and wet ground that will not firm up.

Railroad Ballast is the coarsest option for track beds and equipment pads on soft ground.

Where a swale or a French drain has to carry water away, use clean washed stone with the fines taken out. Drain Rock is the usual pick for foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

For a drive, parking pad or shed pad, 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base. Stone dust up to about two inches binds it, so it tightens as it is rolled.

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

Then finish with a clean open graded stone. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, for a drive surface, drainage and concrete work.

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

Fill and soil round out a site. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settles.

Top Soil is the growing layer over ground that is more often heavy clay than what a lawn wants.

Ground and Conditions in Luling

Work here runs year round. Rain and high water interrupt it, not cold.

Across the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, the ground is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The water table sits at or near the surface and the soil is already saturated.

Nothing drains downward. Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all.

That shapes what you build on. A pad on muck settles under its own weight, so build it from select fill that compacts, then cap it with 610 limestone.

Keep the drainage layer clean stone, because fines in a drain stop it draining.

Arm anything that meets open water. Storm surge, bank retreat and wave action take soft edges fast, and riprap holds where rounded cobble will not.

Questions About Stone in Luling

What stone should I use for drainage in Luling?

Use clean stone with no fines. Drain Rock is washed for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone and #67 Stone handle open drainage and pipe bedding, and 3/4 inch crushed stone backfills trenches. Fines-bearing material like 610 limestone is a compacted base, not a drain, so keep it out of the wet zone.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear and reachable for a dump truck. The truck tips the load in one pile, so pick where that pile goes before it shows up.

Mark the edge of anything you want kept clear, such as a driveway apron, a walkway or a bed. Order your quantity by the ton or yard and choose a delivery date at checkout.
