Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Mount Airy, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Mount Airy, LA to your site by the ton or by the yard. Start with the calculator on any product page to size the load, then order 610 limestone or whatever else the job calls for.

This is the deltaic plain, where the ground sits low and soft, so what you put under a slab or a drive matters as much as what you put on top.

Delivery to Mount Airy and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then backs up and tips the load on site as one pile.

Mount Airy sits in St. John the Baptist Parish, and delivery covers the surrounding area, including LaPlace, Reserve, Garyville and Edgard.

If your site is in that part of the parish, the truck reaches it.

Bulk loads arrive loose and unloaded in a single pile, so have the spot clear before the truck gets there. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page carries a calculator to help you size the load.

Materials for Mount Airy Projects

Fill and sub-base come first here, because so much of this ground needs to be raised before anything is built on it. Select Fill is the grade raising material, and it compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.

River silt is the Louisiana name for the fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms, and yards here list it beside fill dirt and spillway dirt as a grade raising material. Above the fill, 610 limestone is the base that carries the load.

610 limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, runs from stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork.

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

For a driveway surface, #57 limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it also suits drainage and concrete work. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the same idea sold by inch size, for drive surfacing, trench backfill and general drainage.

For a patio or walkway, Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that bed pavers and pack a path top, and Mason Sand gives a smooth setting bed for brick and block. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Airy

Across the deltaic plain, the marsh and the Chenier coast, the ground is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The firm ground sits on natural levee ridges, old distributary channels and the cheniers.

The water table is at or near the surface and the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward; it 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 Select Fill goes in first to raise grade, and why the drainage layer has to work. Erosion follows the same water, with canal and bayou bank retreat and wave action along open water, so RipRap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour.

Work runs year round here, interrupted by rain and by high water rather than by cold. Time your delivery around the wet spells and keep the fill and base covered ground dry before you build on it.

Questions About Ordering in Mount Airy

What is the best base under pavers in Mount Airy?

On this ground, raise the grade with Select Fill first, then set your bedding. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that bed pavers and fill joints, and Mason Sand gives a smooth setting bed for brick and block.

Both sit on a base that has been compacted, not on raw muck.
