Fill and Base Material Delivered in Port Sulphur, LA

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Port Sulphur, LA starts with the ground under the load. On the deltaic plain the water table sits at or near the surface, so nothing drains downward.

Louisiana Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone and the fill that goes under it, ordered online and tipped on site.

Delivery to Port Sulphur and the Surrounding Area

Order online and a dump truck brings the load to your site. You choose the quantity by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to help size it.

Pick your delivery date at checkout.

The truck tips the material in one pile where it can reach. Plan for that pile to land on ground that will hold a truck, because soft muck will not.

Port Sulphur sits in Plaquemines Parish, and deliveries reach sites in Belle Chasse, Buras, Venice and Braithwaite as well.

Materials for Port Sulphur Projects

Raising grade and building a pad out of the water is the work here, and it decides what you order. Fill goes down first.

Base course goes on top of fill that has been compacted. Surface material goes on last.

Start with Select Fill to raise low ground and build a pad. It compacts instead of settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

River silt and spillway dirt are the other grade raising terms yards here use.

Top the pad with 610 Limestone, also called 610 base or CR610. The Louisiana base size runs from stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

It carries driveways, parking pads and the layer under flatwork.

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

It is a real alternative to quarried base, not the same material.

For a driveway surface, order #57 Limestone. It is clean and open graded at about 3/4 inch with no fines, so water moves through it.

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

Where the ground stays wet, Drain Rock is the washed clean stone for French drains, perimeter drains and downspout runs. On ground with a water table this close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Ground and Conditions in Port Sulphur

The soil here is coastal marsh: organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible. The only firm ground sits on natural levee ridges, old distributary channels and the cheniers, the shell and sand ridges of the southwest coast.

That changes how a base gets built. A pad on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it, so the fill has to go in and compact before the base course is spread.

Skip that step and the base cracks.

Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all across this part of the state. Riprap and large river rock armour canal and bayou banks against surge and wave action, and rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round and gets interrupted by rain and high water rather than by cold. Time the fill and base work around the wet stretches, not the temperature.
