Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Natchez, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Natchez, LA. The ground here is heavy clay over recent alluvium, and it holds water instead of taking it.

That makes 610 limestone the base to start from. The stone dust up to about two inches binds the mix, so it firms up as it is rolled.

Materials for Natchez Projects

Start with the grade. Low ground and building pads need fill and sub-base before anything goes on top.

Select fill raises a pad up out of the water and compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

River silt is the other grade raising material, listed beside fill dirt and spillway dirt. Both go under the structural layers, never at the surface.

For a driveway or a parking pad, 610 limestone is the compacted layer. It also works as the base under flatwork, where the fines bind the stone together.

Crushed concrete is a base layer of recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For drainage, order a clean stone. #57 limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it drains.

#4 crushed stone is coarser, roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage and wet ground.

Drain rock is washed clean for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs. On ground with a water table this close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Ground and Conditions in Natchez

The soil across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains is silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers. It is deep and heavy, with sandier ridges along the old channels and backswamp clay in the low ground between them.

A high water table sits under clay that will not take water. The land is flat, and the ridges are the only ground that drains by itself.

Water sits in the low ground until it is ditched away.

Build a base on that without enough fill underneath and it moves. Grade first with select fill, then bring in 610 limestone and compact it.

Erosion comes from bank cutting along the bayous, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch scour. Riprap is angular stone for bank and slope armour.

Large river rock is rounded and does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass.

Questions from Natchez Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Natchez?

Start with select fill if the ground is low, because the clay under it will not drain. Then bring in 610 limestone as the compacted base course.

Bed the pavers themselves in stone screenings or mason sand, both of which give a fine, even setting layer. The drainage layer matters as much as the base on ground this wet.
