Bulk Material Delivery in Quitman, LA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Quitman, LA, start with the water. On the northern and western uplands side of the state, the sandy loam surface takes water in and the clay beneath it does not, so water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws.

Louisiana Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk to sites across Jackson Parish. Pick your material, order by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck brings it out.

Materials for Quitman Projects

Washed stone is where a wet-slope job begins. Clean stone with the fines taken out is what a French drain, a drywell and a downspout run all need, because the void space between the stones is what lets water through.

Drain Rock is the washed stone for those runs. It also backfills a foundation perimeter drain, where water has to leave the footing zone instead of sitting against it.

Size the washed stone to the water you are moving. #4 Crushed Stone is the coarse clean stone at roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage, erosion work and ground that stays soft.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. It drains, and it is a common choice for a driveway surface and for concrete work.

#67 Stone runs a little finer than #57. Use it in drainage trenches, around pipe bedding and in concrete.

#8 Crushed Stone is the small clean stone at roughly 3/8 inch. It handles fine drainage and beds pavers.

Below the clean stone sits the base. 610 Limestone, also called #610, 610 base or CR610, is crushed limestone base with stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

610 limestone goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork. Crushed Concrete, also called recycled base or 610 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.

Where the ground is low, raise it before you surface it. Select Fill compacts instead of settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

For the growing layer, Top Soil covers lawns, beds and grade repair over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants. Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds and vegetable gardens, which suit this ground better than digging into it.

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

River Rock is rounded decorative stone for beds and borders where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in Quitman

Work runs year round here. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so timing a delivery around the wet stretches matters more than the calendar does.

The sandy loam ridges drain well, and the clay in the draws does not. Water that soaks in upslope comes out sideways at the bottom of the slope, which is why a drainage layer earns its place on the low side of a pad.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone. Stream and ditch scour in the draws does the same work from the other direction, so bank and slope edges need angular stone that locks together.

RipRap is that angular stone, for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges and slope protection. Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

For a driveway, 610 limestone builds the base and Driveway Gravel surfaces it. Walkway Gravel is the finer gravel that packs underfoot on garden paths.
