Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Newellton, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Newellton, LA, and the work here runs year round. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass.

Plan around the wet spells and the load still lands when you want it.

Start with 610 limestone by its local name. Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, that is the base material buyers ask for.

Ground and Conditions in Newellton

The ground across the alluvial plains is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam, deep and heavy. Sandier natural levee ridges drain by themselves.

The backswamp between them holds rain until it is ditched away.

A thin base course fails fast on that clay. Water sits under the stone, the layer shifts under a tire or a foot, and the surface breaks up at the edges first.

The fix is a properly built base, not a thicker surface layer. A compacted 610 limestone base carries the load and keeps the surface stone out of the mud.

On low ground, raise the pad with select fill before the base goes down.

Erosion here comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch scour. Riprap and large river rock both have a place, though only riprap is angular enough to armour a bank.

Materials for Newellton Projects

Bedding under pavers and flatwork is where the choice of material shows most. The setting bed has to be fine, clean and easy to screed, or the pavers rock and the joints open.

Mason Sand is the finest washed sand and the usual setting bed for brick, block and pavers. Washed Sand, also called river sand, does the same job under pipe and flatwork.

Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. They bed pavers and pack down as a top for a path, and they hold a joint better than sand in wet ground.

Under all of that sits the base. 610 Limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, is crushed limestone base with stone dust up to about two inches.

The fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and the compacted layer under flatwork.

Crushed Concrete, called recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For drainage and concrete work, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. #67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.
