Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Merryville, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Merryville, LA, from 610 limestone for a driveway base to riprap for a bank that keeps washing out. Ground here is level terrace country with a silt loam surface over dense clay.

That subsoil changes how deep a base has to go and how fast water leaves a swale. We stock the sizes to match both jobs.

Materials for Merryville Projects

Slope, swale and bank work in Beauregard Parish calls for coarse, angular stone. Rounded stone rolls instead of locking, so it will not hold a bank no matter how much of it you set.

RipRap is the angular stone for shoreline and canal edges, bank armour and slope protection. Use it where moving water is cutting into the toe of a slope.

#4 Crushed Stone runs about 1 1/2 inch and suits heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground. Railroad Ballast is the coarser angular option for track beds and equipment pads on soft ground.

Drain Rock is washed clean with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs. On ground this flat, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Moving down in size, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded stone at about 3/4 inch with no fines. It goes on a driveway surface and around concrete work.

610 Limestone is the base material for drives, parking pads and the compacted layer under flatwork. It carries stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed to a dense graded size with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material. It is not crushed limestone, and it is not sold as such.

Ground and Conditions in Merryville

Work runs year round across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Timing a delivery around a dry stretch matters more than any other single decision.

The ground tells you why. A silt loam surface sits over dense clay subsoil, often with a tight claypan close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike.

Rain gets through the silt loam, reaches the dense subsoil and stops. Water perches in the top foot, and on ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off.

That is the argument for a coarse drainage layer rather than a fine one where water sits. It is also the argument for select fill where you are raising a pad out of the wet, since it compacts instead of settling.

Bare terrace ground also sheds water as sheet flow, and ditches and coulees scour. Fresh grade cuts rills before anything covers it, so cover the grade as soon as it is shaped.
