Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Morse, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Morse, LA to two kinds of buyer: contractors building drives, pads and flatwork, and homeowners patching a drive or dressing a bed. Both start in the same place, with 610 limestone.

Morse sits in Acadia Parish, on level terrace ground where a silt loam surface covers a dense clay subsoil.

Materials for Morse Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is the work here, and 610 limestone is the material that carries it. The local base size runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind the load and it hardens as it is rolled.

That makes 610 Limestone the choice for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork. Contractors in Acadia Parish specify it as 610 base or CR610.

Crushed Concrete is the other base option. It is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened 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.

Once a base is down, the surface is a clean stone. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, an open graded size for a driveway surface, drainage work and concrete.

#67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.

For heavy drainage, erosion work and very wet ground, #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse clean option at roughly 1 1/2 inch. At the other end, #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone handle fine drainage and paver bedding and joints.

Sand comes washed or fine. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed.

Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork.

Soil and fill answer the ground. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds.

Decorative stone finishes the job. Natural Pea Gravel suits paths, dog runs and play areas.

River Rock covers beds and borders, and rounded stone does not lock together, so it stays a surface dressing.

Ground and Conditions in Morse

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, rain gets through the silt loam surface, reaches the dense subsoil and stops. Water perches in the top foot, and the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off. A tight claypan sits close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike, so a pad built straight on the natural ground holds moisture under it.

That is why a drainage layer does real work here. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Erosion follows the same water. Sheet flow crosses bare terrace ground, ditches and coulees scour, and fresh grade rills before it is covered.

RipRap is angular stone for bank and canal edges, and rounded stone is not bank armour.

Work runs year round, with wet spells rather than cold ones setting the schedule. Build the grade when the ground is firm enough to compact.
