Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Plaucheville, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Plaucheville, LA for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners filling in a wet yard one load at a time. Both usually start with 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base this market specifies by name.

Plaucheville sits on heavy alluvial ground in Avoyelles Parish, so what goes under a drive matters as much as what shows on top.

Materials for Plaucheville Projects

Base and driveway surfacing is where most of this work begins, and 610 limestone is the material that carries it. Also called #610, 610 base or CR610, it runs from stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled.

It builds driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork.

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

It is not crushed limestone, and it is not a substitute for the quarry stone in the same sentence.

Above the base, the clean open graded stones take over. #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it surfaces a drive or feeds drainage and concrete work.

#67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

For heavier water, #4 Crushed Stone is a coarse clean stone around 1 1/2 inch for erosion work and very wet ground. Drain Rock is washed clean with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Sand and soil round out a project. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and a smooth paver setting bed.

Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds, and Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds, which suit ground that stays wet.

Ground and Conditions in Plaucheville

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the rain has nowhere to go. The land is flat, the natural levee ridges are the only ground that drains by itself, and the backswamp between them holds water until it is ditched or pumped away.

The soil is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam, deep and heavy, with sandier ridges along the old channels. Clay that will not take water is the reason a drainage layer has to work, not just sit there.

That shapes material choice. A fines-bearing base like 610 limestone hardens because the fines bind, but it is not a drainage layer.

Clean washed stone is what moves water, and Drain Rock is the washed product for it.

Erosion follows the same pattern: bank cutting along rivers and bayous, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. Angular stone such as RipRap armours banks and slopes.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so river rock is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass, so timing a base around the weather is normal.
