Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in Mansura, LA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Mansura, LA, Louisiana Rock Supply supplies bulk material by the ton. The ground here is recent alluvium, silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers, and it holds water.

That makes 610 limestone the base to start from, with washed stone for the drainage that has to work.

Materials for Mansura Projects

Water is the driver on this ground. A high water table and clay that will not take water mean the drainage layer carries the load.

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

Size is the choice you make. Coarse open stone moves water fast; finer clean stone fits tighter spaces.

For a driveway, 610 Limestone is the base. It runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

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

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.

For bedding, Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and a smooth paver setting bed. Stone Screenings pack under pavers and top a path.

Ground and Conditions in Mansura

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the land is flat. The natural levee ridges are the only ground that drains by itself, and the backswamp between them holds rain until it is ditched away.

So a pad or a drive here needs a base that compacts rather than settles. That is what 610 limestone does, and it is why the base goes under the flatwork and not under a lawn.

Erosion comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection.

Work runs year round. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass, so timing a delivery around a wet spell matters more than the calendar.
