Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Mooringsport, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mooringsport, LA, and 610 limestone is the base most ground here is built on. It is the local name for a crushed limestone base that runs from stone dust up to about two inches.

The fines bind it, so it hardens as it is rolled. Across the northern and western uplands, that base goes under drives, pads and flatwork.

Materials for Mooringsport Projects

Slope, swale and bank work in this parish starts with coarse stone. Water moves sideways down the slopes here and gathers in the draws, so the stone at the edge has to be angular and open enough to hold its place.

RipRap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. It is the material for ground that has to stay put.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, heavy equipment pads and very wet ground where a large open stone is wanted. It drains freely and does not turn to mud under load.

#4 Crushed Stone is a coarse clean stone, roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground. It is the step down in size when riprap is more stone than the spot needs.

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

610 Limestone is the compacted layer under flatwork and the surface for drives, parking pads and shed pads. Crushed Concrete is a base layer of recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. Where the drainage layer is the part that has to work, the fines are what you leave out.

For finer work, #89 Crushed Stone is a fine clean stone for paver joints and thin bedding layers. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen, used as a bedding and joint material under pavers and as a packing top for a path.

Fill and soil round out the list. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Ground and Conditions in Mooringsport

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so timing a delivery around the weather matters more than the season.

The uplands ground is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws. This side of the state is lighter and better drained than the southern half.

The sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws. Slope, rather than a water table, is what moves it here.

That is why bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone, and why stream and ditch scour shows up in the draws. Coarse stone at the slope edge and a clean drainage layer at the low points are how that gets managed.
