610 Limestone, Sand and Gravel Delivery in Madison Parish, LA
Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Madison Parish, LA to your job. The base material here is 610 limestone, the dense graded crushed limestone that carries stone dust up to about two inches.
The ground across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains is heavy silty clay and clay loam, so a base that binds and hardens does the work a soft soil will not.
Materials Delivered in Madison Parish
610 limestone is the Louisiana base size. The fines run from stone dust up to about two inches, so the material binds and packs hard as it is rolled.
Louisiana DOTD specifies aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, and the soundness and abrasion requirements sit in Subsection 1003.01. A source has to meet Section 1003 to appear on the department's approved materials list.
Order 610 Limestone for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork.
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, and it is not crushed limestone.
Order Crushed Concrete where a base layer is wanted.
#57 limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work.
Order #57 Limestone for a driveway surface or a drainage run.
#67 limestone is a clean stone a little finer than #57. It suits drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.
Order #67 Stone for those jobs.
#4 limestone is a coarse clean stone at roughly 1 1/2 inch. Use it for heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground.
Order #4 Crushed Stone where the ground stays soft.
Drain rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It goes into French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.
On ground with a water table this close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work. Order Drain Rock for those runs.
Select fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.
Order Select Fill for grade raising.
Top soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair, over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Order Top Soil for that layer, or Garden Soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens.
Mason sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed. Order Mason Sand for that work.
Ground Conditions Across Madison Parish
The ground across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers, deep and fertile and heavy. Sandier natural levee ridges sit along the old channels, and backswamp clay fills the low ground between them.
A high water table and clay that will not take water are the two conditions that shape a base here. The land is flat.
That makes the drainage layer the part that has to work. Drain rock and the clean open graded sizes carry water away where clay will not, and select fill lifts a pad up out of the wet.
Erosion comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. Riprap and coarse angular stone armour the edges that take the current.
Work runs year round. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass, so a delivery date is worth setting around the weather rather than the season.
Delivery Across Madison Parish
Louisiana Rock Supply delivers bulk aggregate across Madison Parish, including Tallulah. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.
A dump truck tips the load on site in one pile. Plan where that pile should sit before the truck arrives, because the driver does not place, spot or spread material.
Everything is sold in bulk and delivered by the ton or the yard. There is no pickup and no counter to visit.
Choosing the Right Material
Richland Parish, Franklin Parish and East Carroll Parish sit in the same region and on the same ground as Madison Parish. All four are recent alluvium on the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains: heavy silty clay and clay loam, with sandier levee ridges and backswamp clay in the low ground.
Because the ground is the same, the material choice is the same. A dense graded base such as 610 limestone or crushed concrete goes under a drive or a pad, and a clean open graded stone such as #57 limestone or drain rock handles the water.
Pick by what the layer has to do. A base that binds and hardens suits a surface that takes traffic.
