#67 Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for Rayne, LA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Rayne, LA, start with the ground under the job. Louisiana Rock Supply sells 610 limestone, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk, delivered by the ton.

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, a silt loam surface sits over dense clay that water cannot pass. That shallow claypan shapes what you order and how deep the base has to run.

Materials for Rayne Projects

Standing water is the problem this ground keeps handing you. A driveway edge, a downspout, a low corner of a yard: each one needs a drainage layer that stays open.

That means washed stone with the fines taken out, ordered by the size that fits the job.

Start coarse. #4 Crushed Stone runs about 1 1/2 inch and suits heavy drainage, erosion work and wet, unstable ground.

Railroad Ballast is the coarser angular option for a track bed or an equipment pad. RipRap is angular stone for banks, canal edges and slope protection.

Mid sizes do the everyday work. #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch, used for drainage and concrete work.

#67 Stone is a little finer, so it fits drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete. Drain Rock is the washed stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, where the drainage layer is the part that has to keep working.

Fine sizes finish the job. #8 Crushed Stone at roughly 3/8 inch handles fine drainage and paver bedding.

Stone Screenings bed and joint pavers and pack the top of a path.

Not every job wants clean stone. 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base, stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind so it hardens as it is rolled.

It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed pads and flatwork. Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed to a dense graded size with the fines left in, permitted here as a Class II base course material.

For softer ground, Select Fill raises a low pad and compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds, and Garden Soil fills raised beds over ground that sits wet.

Delivery to Rayne and the Surrounding Area

Louisiana Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Acadia Parish, including Crowley, Church Point, Iota, Morse and Egan. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck then tips the load on your site.

Each product page has a calculator, so you can size a load before you order. For a Rayne job, have the delivery point clear enough for a truck to reach and set the material down.

Ground and Conditions in Rayne

Work here runs year round, and wet spells rather than cold ones set the schedule. Time a delivery for a stretch when the ground is firm enough to take a truck, because the silt loam surface reaches its claypan quickly and stays soft well after the rain stops.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry water off. Rain perches in the top foot of soil, so a drainage layer earns its place in a way it would not on a slope.

Plan for water to leave before you plan a surface.

Bare terrace ground also moves. Sheet flow crosses fresh grade, ditches and coulees scour, and rills cut into exposed soil.

Grading that sits uncovered through a wet spell is the ground most likely to need rework.
