Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Mathews, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mathews, LA. Start with 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base this market calls #610 or 610 base.

It packs into driveways, parking pads and the layer under flatwork.

The ground here is deltaic plain, soft clay and organic muck that stays wet. What you put on top of it matters as much as what you put in the beds.

Materials for Mathews Projects

Beds, borders and dry creek beds are where decorative rock does the work here. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it belongs where nothing has to compact.

Use it as ground cover, edging or a dry creek bed that reads as a feature instead of a bare patch of mud.

River Rock covers beds and borders. Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and decorative edging.

Natural Pea Gravel suits paths, dog runs and play areas.

Under the decorative layer, the base still has to hold. 610 Limestone is the compacted layer for drives, pads and flatwork.

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

For drainage, clean stone is the choice. Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, perimeter drains and drywells.

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

Beds and gardens sit on wet ground, so raised beds are common. Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetables.

Shredded Mulch dresses the surface of beds and tree rings.

Ground and Conditions in Mathews

Across the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, the ground is organic muck and soft clay. It is under consolidated and highly compressible.

The only firm ground is on natural levee ridges, old distributary channels and the cheniers, the shell and sand ridges of the southwest coast.

The water table sits at or near the surface in this part of the state, and the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward.

Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all, and a pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it.

That is why an under-built base fails. Select fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling.

River silt is the Louisiana name for fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms, and yards here list it beside fill dirt.

Erosion follows the same logic. Coastal and wetland loss, storm surge, canal and bayou bank retreat and wave action along open water all work on the edges.

Riprap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection. Rounded stone does not hold a slope.

Work runs year round here, interrupted by rain and high water rather than by cold.
