Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Pelican, LA online. Louisiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Start with 610 limestone for anything that has to lock up and hold. Pelican sits in De Soto Parish, where the ground is sandy loam over clay.

Ground and Conditions in Pelican

Sandy loam takes water fast. The clay under it does not, so water slides sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws.

That is what a thin base shows you first. A drive or pad with too little material underneath pumps, ruts and pushes out at the edges.

The fix is more base, not a different surface stone.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies once the cover is gone. Ditches and stream banks scour in the draws.

Armour the slopes and put a working drainage layer where water collects.

Work runs year round across the northern and western uplands. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass.

Materials for Pelican Projects

Fines and screenings carry paths and walkways here. The fine material packs underfoot, so a walkway stays firm instead of rolling loose stone under every step.

Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. Use them as a bedding layer under pavers and as a packing top for a garden path.

For a looser surface, walkway gravel is a finer gravel that settles under foot traffic. Use it on paths where you want a gravel look and a firm tread.

Where a path needs to shed water instead of holding it, use a clean stone. #89 Crushed Stone is a fine clean stone for paver joints and thin bedding layers.

For a decorative path that never has to compact, Natural Pea Gravel is a rounded pea sized gravel. It suits paths, dog runs and play areas.

Under a path or a pad, 610 Limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, 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.

Where a base has to drain as well as carry, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It goes in drainage and concrete work.

Drain Rock is washed stone with the fines taken out. Use it in French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Questions About Gravel and Stone in Pelican

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have a clear, level spot for a single tipped pile, with room for the truck to reach it and get out again. The driver tips the load in one place and does not spread it, so pick where you want the pile to sit.

Keep gates open and the route in clear.

What is the best base under pavers in Pelican?

Use 610 limestone as the compacted base, then bed the pavers in stone screenings or mason sand. The 610 has the fines to bind and harden when it is rolled.

Screenings give you a fine, even bed for the pavers to sit on.
