River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Madisonville, LA

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Madisonville, LA for a drainage job? Louisiana Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk, ordered online by the ton or the yard.

Ground here is flat terrace land with a sandy surface over a tight subsoil, so the water has nowhere to go once it soaks in. That is why the drainage layer matters as much as the surface you see.

Materials for Madisonville Projects

Water is the job on most lots in Madisonville. The surface looks sandy and free draining, but the layer under it holds what falls, so a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run only works if the stone around it stays clean and open.

Start coarse and work down. The bigger the water, the bigger the stone.

Washed and clean stone

Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out, so the voids between the pieces stay open and water moves rather than sitting. Use it for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

#4 Crushed Stone is a coarse clean stone at roughly 1 1/2 inch. It suits heavy drainage and very wet ground where you want a large open stone carrying flow.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it handles both drainage and a driveway surface. #67 Stone is the finer clean stone for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

At the small end, #8 Crushed Stone at roughly 3/8 inch and #89 Crushed Stone take fine drainage, paver bedding and paver joints.

Base and fill

610 Limestone is the Louisiana base: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines that bind it and let it harden as it is rolled. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork.

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

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling. River silt and spillway dirt are the other grade raising terms yards here use.

Sand, soil and surface material

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.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds, which suit this ground because it sits wet.

RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection. Large River Rock is rounded cobble for dry creek beds and decorative edging, and rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Ground and Conditions in Madisonville

Work here runs year round, set by how wet the ground is rather than how cold. Timing a delivery around that is often the difference between a base that compacts and one that pumps.

Across the Florida parishes pine flatwoods, the profile is a sandy or silt loam surface over a dense, slowly permeable subsoil, with seasonal high water sitting in the top of it. The surface reads as free draining and the layer under it is not.

That subsoil is why a drainage layer has to actually work here. Clean washed stone lets water move through the voids; a fines-bearing material around a drain just seals it up.

On bare flat ground, sheet flow, ditch scour and rill cutting in the sandy surface are the erosion you deal with. Grade left exposed is where it starts, and riprap or coarse stone on the edges slows it down.
