Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Oil City, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Oil City, LA, and the ground here decides what you need. The uplands run sandy loam over clay, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws.

Work runs year round in Caddo Parish. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so timing matters more than the calendar.

Start with 610 limestone when you are building a pad or a drive.

Materials for Oil City Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on most lots here, and that work starts with soil and fill. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water.

It compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair. The natural ground is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens, and raised beds matter here because the ground sits wet.

For the structural layer, 610 limestone is the Louisiana base. It runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

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.

Clean stone handles water. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and Drain Rock is washed clean for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

On ground this wet, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Sand and decorative stone finish the job. Washed Sand beds pipe and flatwork, Mason Sand sets brick and block, and Natural Pea Gravel or River Rock covers paths and beds where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in Oil City

Across the northern and western uplands, the surface is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays. The ground rolls rather than lying flat, with sandy loam ridges and clay in the draws.

The sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws, so slope rather than a water table is what moves it here.

That shapes what you build. A pad wants Select Fill under it so it sits above the wet layer.

A drive wants 610 limestone, because the fines bind and the surface hardens as it is rolled.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies once the cover is gone, and the draws scour at ditches and streams. 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.

Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass. Plan the base work around that rather than around the season.
