Bulk Material Delivery in Mamou, LA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Mamou, LA, start with the water. The ground here is level terrace ground with a silt loam surface over dense clay, and rain that gets through the surface stops at the clay.

Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk 610 limestone and washed stone by the ton, ordered online and tipped on site.

Materials for Mamou Projects

Water perches in the top foot of ground here and has nowhere to run. That makes washed stone the material that carries the most weight on a Mamou job, because it moves water instead of holding it.

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

Where you need a trench or a bed, size the stone to the opening. #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse clean stone at roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage and very wet ground.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch, used for drainage work and drive surfacing. #67 Stone runs a little finer for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

At the fine end, #8 Crushed Stone is clean stone at roughly 3/8 inch for fine drainage and paver bedding, and #89 Crushed Stone fills paver joints and thin bedding layers.

Not every job is a drainage job. 610 Limestone is the local base: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in so it binds.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and flatwork.

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

Ground and Conditions in Mamou

Work here runs year round. Wet spells set the schedule rather than cold ones, so the calendar question is usually whether the ground is firm enough to take a truck.

That same claypan is why the drainage layer matters more than the surface. Water that reaches the dense subsoil stops and sits in the top foot, and the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry water off. Sheet flow across bare terrace ground scours ditches and coulees, and fresh grade rills before anything covers it.

Raising a low pad is select fill work, not surfacing work. Select Fill compacts rather than settling, and it goes under a base course.

For a lawn or a bed, the growing layer is Top Soil over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Raised beds and vegetable gardens do better in Garden Soil, because the natural ground sits wet.
