Bulk Aggregate Delivery Across Morehouse Parish, LA
If you are building a driveway pad or a shed pad in Morehouse Parish, LA, the answer is usually 610 limestone. Louisiana Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate by the ton, and 610 is the base size a Louisiana yard names by number.
This part of the state sits on sandy loam over clay, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws. That shapes what you order.
Ground Conditions Across Morehouse Parish
Work here runs year round. What stops a compaction pass is wet clay in the draws, so timing a delivery around a wet stretch matters more than the season on the calendar.
Across the northern and western uplands, the surface is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays. It is rolling rather than flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws.
The sandy loam surface takes water, and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes instead of draining straight down, and it gathers in the low ground.
That is why a drainage layer has to work on its own here. Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws scour along streams and ditches.
Where a slope is losing ground, angular stone that locks together is the right answer. Rounded stone will not hold a bank, so keep it away from slope protection.
Materials Delivered in Morehouse Parish
610 limestone is the Louisiana base size, also called #610, 610 base or CR610. It runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.
Louisiana DOTD specifies aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, with soundness and abrasion requirements in Subsection 1003.01. An aggregate source has to meet Section 1003 to be listed on the department's approved materials list.
Order 610 Limestone for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork. 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.
For planting, Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar and block work.
Choosing the Right Material
Richland Parish lies on the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, where recent alluvium left silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers. That ground is deep, fertile and heavy.
Morehouse ground is lighter. Sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays drains better than that heavy alluvium, so a base course here sits on firmer footing and needs less fill under it.
Ouachita Parish and Union Parish share the same coastal plain uplands ground as Morehouse Parish. The soil, the slope and the drainage behave the same way, so the same base and drainage choices carry over.
On the heavier alluvial ground, raising a pad out of the water comes before anything else. On the uplands, the work is usually holding a slope and moving water off it.

Because the truck tips the material in one pile, it helps to know where that pile should land before the date arrives. A pad, a drive or a trench line is easier to work from when the stone is close to it.
