Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Oak Ridge, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Oak Ridge, LA, and the ground here sets the order. Sandy loam ridges shed water sideways into the draws, so the slope work has to be built from coarse stone.

Start by sizing the load with the calculator on each product page, then pick the material. 610 limestone is the local base, and it is where most drives, pads and shed floors begin in Morehouse Parish.

Materials for Oak Ridge Projects

Water that runs off a bare sandy slope cuts a gully fast, so the coarse end of the yard does the heavy work. These are the sizes that hold a bank, a swale or a ditch edge in place.

RipRap is the angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection. It is the first stone to reach for when a draw is scouring and you need the edge to stay put.

Railroad Ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, heavy equipment pads and very wet ground where a large open stone is wanted. It works under load and lets water move through.

#4 Crushed Stone runs about 1 1/2 inch and handles heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground. Large River Rock is the rounded cobble for dry creek beds and decorative edging, and it is not bank armour because rounded stone does not lock together.

Above those sits 610 Limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610. The Louisiana base size runs stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

Use it for driveways, parking pads and the compacted layer under flatwork.

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

At the fine end, Stone Screenings bed pavers and pack a path surface, and Top Soil restores the growing layer over ground that is more clay than a lawn wants.

Not every size is angular. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs.

Delivery to Oak Ridge 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 tips the load on site in one pile, so plan where that pile should sit before the truck arrives.

Coverage runs across Oak Ridge and the rest of Morehouse Parish, including Bastrop, Mer Rouge, Collinston, Bonita and Jones. Each product page carries its own calculator if you want to size the load.

Ground and Conditions in Oak Ridge

Work here runs year round. What stops a compaction pass is wet clay in the draws, so time a delivery around that rather than around the calendar.

The sandy loam surface takes water, and the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws. Slope rather than a water table is what moves it in this part of the state.

That is why bare sandy slopes gully quickly once the cover is gone, and why stream and ditch scour shows up in the draws. Coarse stone on the edges of those runs is what slows it down.

There is no frost depth to design around here. Louisiana's design criteria are about wind and water, so put the effort into drainage and slope protection instead.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Oak Ridge

What stone should I use for drainage in Oak Ridge?

Match the stone to the water. #57 Limestone and #67 Stone are clean and open graded, so they suit trenches, pipe bedding and concrete work.

Drain Rock is the washed stone for French drains, perimeter drains and downspout runs. Where a slope or a draw is scouring, RipRap and #4 Crushed Stone are the angular sizes that hold an edge.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Decide where the pile goes before the truck reaches your site, because the load is tipped in one place and cannot be split. Clear the route in and keep vehicles away from that spot.

Have your quantity confirmed from the product page calculator so the load matches what you planned to place.
