Customer Reviews

“A low wet bottom on our farm road outside Glenmora stays soggy most of the year from the creek backing up. Fifteen tons of railroad ballast went down over fabric to build it up above the water table, and it drains so fast the puddles are gone within minutes of the rain stopping. The tractor and hay trailer cross it now without sinking, even in a wet December.”

“Ordered ten tons of fifty seven for the driveway base out past Breaux Bridge before the crawfish season traffic starts. Stone drains great and packed down hard once we ran the roller over it twice. Only complaint is it threw more dust than I expected unloading it, coated my truck and the mailbox both. Rinsed off easy enough and the driveway hasn't had a soft spot since.”

“Backfilled behind a small retaining wall at the edge of our yard outside Oak Grove with three tons of drain rock before the wall went up against the slope. Keeps water from building up pressure behind the block, which is exactly what the mason recommended after our old wall bulged and cracked years ago. A year of Delta rains later and this one hasn't budged or bowed at all.”

“Started a vegetable garden from scratch at our place outside Melville after years of just mowing that back corner of the yard. Four yards of garden soil filled two large raised beds with plenty left over for a small herb box by the porch. Peppers, tomatoes and okra all came up strong the first season, and the soil stayed loose and easy to work all summer instead of crusting over like our old clay would.”

“Leveled a bumpy old lawn outside Brusly that had years of uneven settling from a septic line repair a while back. Three yards of top soil filled in the low spots and feathered out nicely with a rake before we overseeded it this fall. Grass has filled back in evenly across the whole yard, and the low spot by the driveway that used to pool water is finally gone.”

“Spread six tons of driveway gravel over the old washed out surface at our place near Gramercy. My neighbor brought his skid steer over and we had it graded and packed in one Saturday afternoon. The color is a nice tan that matches the house, and after a couple of River Parish downpours it drains instead of pooling like the old gravel did.”

“Put in a dog run along the side yard in Chalmette with three tons of number eighty nine stone instead of the pea gravel our old landlord used. It doesn't track into the house on paws the way pea gravel did, drains after downpours off the Mississippi within an hour, and the dog seems to like the cooler footing in summer better too.”

“Used gravel sand under a concrete slab for a workshop out near Urania before the pour went in. Four tons spread and compacted easy with the plate tamper, and the slab has stayed level with no cracking through its first full year, including a couple of hard freezes that snapped pipes on the neighbor's place but never touched our slab. Good coarse sand, no clay lumps in the mix at all.”

“Our farm road cuts through Delta clay that turns to soup every time it rains, so we ordered twenty five tons of number four to build up the worst quarter mile. The driver eased the tandem down the section line and dumped it exactly where the flags were. Six months and two tropical storms later the road hasn't rutted once, and the combine gets through without help.”

“Screeded stone screenings under a paver patio at our place near Oberlin instead of the mason sand the mason originally quoted, since he said it locks in tighter and drains better. Three tons covered the whole area with enough left for the joints. Pavers have stayed level and tight through a full year of foot traffic and heavy rain, no ants tunneling underneath like they did with the old sand base.”

“Got a quote from the quarry outside Slidell for drainage stone around the foundation and it was almost double what I paid for sixty seven stone delivered. Five tons went in around the crawl space and it has kept water from pooling through two tropical storms so far. Only ding is one corner of the yard got skipped when they dumped, had to shovel a wheelbarrow's worth over myself.”

“Mixed mortar for a brick flower bed border at our house in Broussard using mason sand instead of the play sand I grabbed from the hardware store on the first attempt, which never set up right. One ton was more than enough for the whole project with plenty left over for touch up work later. Mixed clean, no clumps, and the mortar joints look sharp and even months after curing.”

“Laid two tons of walkway gravel for a side path at our rental property in Kenner. Looks clean and drains fine, but without edging installed it kicks out onto the grass every time someone drags the trash cans through, which I probably should have expected going in. Once I get edging down this fall I think it will stay put a lot better than it has so far.”

“Used a ton of three eighths inch stone for paver bedding on a small patio outside Amite. Consistent size overall and easy to screed level, though I did find two rocks in the load closer to three quarter inch that had to be picked out by hand. Otherwise a clean job, and the pavers haven't shifted since I set them in June.”

“Ringed the edge of the small pond behind the house near Lake Arthur with four tons of large river rock instead of the plain riprap the last owner used. Looks a lot more natural against the cypress trees, and it has kept the bank from sloughing off into the water through a full year of high water and drawdown. Ducks even seem to like sunning on the flatter rocks.”

“Ordered eight tons of crusher run for a driveway base on our lot outside Abbeville and the calculator undersold the coverage by about a ton. Had to call and get one more ton delivered a few days later to finish the last stretch. Once it was all down it compacted beautifully and the whole drive feels solid underfoot, even after this year's storms.”

“Redid the flower beds along the porch at our place near Winnfield with four tons of river rock instead of mulch that kept washing away every heavy rain. No more raking mulch out of the yard after every storm, and the stones stayed exactly where we set them through the whole rainy season. Bigger up front cost than mulch but it should be the last time I ever have to redo these beds.”

“Laid seven tons of road base for a farm turnaround outside Napoleonville where the cane trucks cut through every harvest. Compacted hard everywhere except one low pocket near the ditch that stayed a little spongy even after the roller went over it twice. Everywhere else is rock solid, and the trucks haven't torn it up since the fix.”

“Mixed washed sand into a concrete pour for a small patio slab at our place near Iota. Clean and free of clay clumps, mixed up easy in the mixer, and the finished slab cured without the pitting we got last time from pit sand a neighbor gave us. Three tons was plenty for the slab with a little left over for setting some fence posts too.”

“Bought two tons of number eight to chip seal a short stretch of our gravel lane out past Bastrop before winter. Stone size was exactly what the contractor wanted and it locked into the tar coat fine. The unload kicked up more dust than I expected, coated the porch furniture, so I'd ask them to spray it down first if you're doing this again near the house.”

“Mulched around a dozen young pecan trees on our place outside Sicily Island to help hold moisture through the dry stretches we get most summers. Six yards covered every ring with enough left for a couple of flower beds near the porch. No weeds poking up through the rings so far, and the trees have put on noticeably more growth this year than last with less watering needed overall.”

“The creek bank behind our place near Cecilia had been sliding into the water a little more every year until we brought in six tons of riprap to armor the worst stretch. Stacked it by hand with my father in law over two weekends rather than rent equipment for one job. The bank has stayed put through this year's high water, and grass is starting to grow between the rocks.”

“Topped off a rutted section of our farm lane outside DeRidder with six tons of sixty seven stone after the logging trucks tore it up last winter. It fills in nicer than the bigger four and doesn't roll around under the tires like pea gravel would. Dry now even after a solid week of rain, and the mail carrier can finally get all the way up the drive.”

“Swapped out the old dirt dog run behind our shotgun house in Arabi for two tons of pea gravel with a strip of edging to keep it in place. Rounded stone doesn't hurt her paws the way the old crushed stone did, and it drains fast after storms roll off the river. She digs less now that there is nothing loose to fling around, and cleanup with the hose takes minutes.”

“Compared this to the bagged gravel from the home improvement store I used on a smaller job last year and there is no contest for coverage or price per ton. Six tons filled in the ruts on our drive outside Norco after refinery traffic detours sent extra cars down our road all spring. Packed down nice and drains well, though a few chunks in the mix ran bigger than expected for top course gravel.”

“We used three quarter inch crushed stone to rebuild the base of our three hundred foot driveway out past Welsh after years of potholes from the rice field trucks cutting through. The plan called for thirty tons, and Louisiana Rock Supply got the first twenty five out within two days on a tri-axle, but the last load took another week to schedule because of a mix up on their end. The stone itself is exactly what a driveway like ours needed, locking tight under truck tires with no new potholes since we finished spreading it in late spring. Just wish the last five tons hadn't taken so long.”

“Needed twenty tons of number four for a turnaround at the deer camp off the forest road near Toledo Bend. The tri-axle got close enough to dump in one big pile, which meant more time with the loader than I planned on. Stone itself is solid and angular, locks together well, and the ruts from hauling firewood are finally gone. Just order a smaller truck if your lane is tight.”

“Leveled a base for a wood shed floor at our place outside Simsboro using two tons of gravel sand over compacted road base. Coarse enough to stay put once it was tamped down, and the shed floor still sits dead level almost a year later with no soft spots when I walk across it. Way better than the play sand a neighbor suggested I use instead.”

“Ordered mason sand for paver joints on a small walkway at our place in Youngsville, one ton delivered in a covered load. Fine and consistent once it dried out, but it arrived damp enough that I had to spread it out on a tarp for a day before sweeping it into the joints. Once dry it worked exactly the way it should, and the joints have stayed tight through several good rains since.”

“We ordered river rock for a downspout splash area and a small dry creek swale along the side yard at our rental property outside Simmesport, eight tons total. Louisiana Rock Supply got the order right the second time, but the first truck showed up with pea gravel instead of river rock, and the driver had to turn around and come back the next day once I caught the mistake. Once the correct stone arrived it went in easily and looks exactly like the picture. The stone itself is exactly what we wanted, the mix up on the order is the only real complaint here.”

“Went with number eighty nine stone around the AC pad and foundation edge at our place in Metairie because it drains better than mulch and doesn't wash out in the heavy rain we get. Ordered three tons but ended up needing almost one more to cover the full run, the calculator undersold it a bit. Looks sharp against the brick and the ants that used to nest by the foundation are gone.”

“Ordered large river rock to line a swale that carries runoff from the rice field ditch out past Kaplan, six tons total for about eighty feet of channel. Most of the rock is a good big size that holds against the flow, but a handful of pieces in the load were closer to regular river rock size and looked out of place next to the bigger stuff. Still functions fine, not as tidy as pictured.”

“Redid the front walkway at our rental near Alexandria with a thin top layer of number eight stone over the paver base. Louisiana Rock Supply got two tons out to us the same week we called, which kept the tenants from tracking mud through the front door. Six months later it still looks tidy, hasn't shifted, and tenants have actually started raking it back into place instead of complaining about it.”

“Ordered top soil to level a section of yard outside New Roads after some drainage work left ruts across the lawn, two yards for a smaller patch near the porch. Spread it easily and grass came in thick within a month, but a handful of clumps in the load were more clay than topsoil and did not break down as easy under the rake. Had to hand crumble a few before seeding over them.”

“Ordered washed sand for leveling under a shed base outside Choudrant, two tons for a ten by twelve footprint. Poured and screeded easy, drains fast, and the shed sits level a year later with no settling on either corner. Only thing off was the color, it came in darker and grayer than the bright white in the photos, which mattered some since part of it stayed visible along the edge of the shed skirting.”

“Built a gravel turnaround for the delivery trucks at our small business outside Kentwood using ten tons of three quarter inch stone over road base. It locks together under weight better than the smaller stone we tried at our last property, and the propane truck no longer gets stuck backing in during wet weeks. Angular edges bite into each other instead of rolling, which is exactly what a turnaround needs.”

“Used riprap along a ditch bank outside Arnaudville that kept washing out every time the bayou came up after heavy rain. Seven tons went in and it has held the bank in place through a full wet season without any more slumping. My only gripe is the size ran from fist sized up to pieces I could barely lift, more range than I expected for one load, which made stacking it evenly harder than expected.”

“Redid a narrow side yard strip between our house and the fence in Gretna with walkway gravel instead of the mud that used to track in every time it rained. Two tons covered it easily with a little left over for touch ups. Small enough underfoot that my mother in law's cane doesn't sink, and it has stayed neat through a full year of foot traffic and two tropical systems.”

“Our church festival grounds in Donaldsonville flood if you look at them wrong, so we brought in Road Base for the parking field before the fall festival. Ordered based on the square footage calculator, came up about three tons short once the tandem dumped it, so we had to call for a quick second load two days before the gates opened. Worked out fine in the end. Saturday morning the food truck rolled right out onto the field and parked for six hours without sinking an inch, and the only complaints all day were about the boudin running out early.”

“Ordered stone screenings for a shed pad topcoat outside Mansura, four tons to finish grading after the crusher run base went in. Packed down smooth once wet down and rolled, and the surface feels almost like a poured floor now. Only gripe is the fine dust kicked up something fierce during unloading and drifted onto the porch and truck, had to hose everything down after. Worth it for the finish despite the mess.”

“Ordered shredded mulch for the beds around the porch at our rental property outside Batchelor before showing it to a new tenant. Three yards spread easy and the dark color made the whole front look sharp for the walkthrough. Only complaint is a handful of half chipped branches were mixed in that had to be picked out by hand, more than I expected, but not a big deal for a bulk load.”

“Redid the road base under a long camp road out toward Golden Meadow where the ground stays soft most of the year this close to the marsh. Six tons went in over geotextile fabric and the compaction held nicely, even with a couple of tropical systems dumping rain on it since summer. The four wheeler doesn't bog down anymore getting out to the duck blinds.”

“Our gravel lane outside Lutcher had washed down to bare dirt after a rough hurricane season, ruts deep enough to scrape the bottom of my car. Ordered sixteen tons of driveway gravel to build it back up and smooth out the washboard sections. Louisiana Rock Supply quoted a morning window but the truck did not show until late afternoon, which threw off my whole day since I had taken time off work to be there. Once it arrived the driver made quick work of it and dumped exactly where I flagged. The lane has held up fine through several storms since, no complaints about the material itself.”

“Water pouring out of the culvert under our driveway outside Jennings had carved a gully six feet long every time it stormed hard. Louisiana Rock Supply brought out three tons of large river rock and the driver placed it right at the outfall where the ditch flags marked. A year of heavy rain later, including two tropical systems, and the gully has not come back at all.”

“Needed a solid overflow parking pad for the church outside Ville Platte before festival season traffic packs the lot. Louisiana Rock Supply brought out fourteen tons of crusher run on a tri-axle and the driver spread the first load himself before dumping the rest. Compacted tight within a day, and a whole season of trucks and trailers hasn't left a single rut.”

“We poured a new patio slab out back in Jena on three tons of three quarter inch crushed stone for base, compacted in two passes before the concrete crew showed up. LaSalle Parish gets some serious gully washers, and after the heaviest one this year the yard around the slab stayed soggy for two full days while the slab itself never pumped or settled at the edges, not even a hairline crack where it meets the steps. Louisiana Rock Supply got it out here on short notice, no scheduling issues at all, and the whole job went smoother than I expected for a first time doing this myself.”

“We ordered fifteen tons of sixty seven stone to build up a driveway topcoat and a pad for the equipment shed outside Franklinton in Washington Parish. The stone quality is exactly what we needed, angular enough to lock in place under the tractor without spreading everywhere. The one hiccup was the load itself, it came in soaking wet after sitting through a week of rain at the yard, so coverage ran short of what the tonnage should have covered. Louisiana Rock Supply credited a partial ton on the next order once I called, which settled things fair. The pad has held solid since the weather cleared.”

“Had a low spot behind the shop outside Jackson that held water for days after every good rain and killed the grass every time. Louisiana Rock Supply brought out twelve yards of fill dirt on a tandem and the driver spread the first load before dumping the rest in a pile for me to finish. Graded it over a weekend with a box blade, and the spot has stayed dry through a full wet season.”

“Redid the dog run for our two labs at our place near Leesville with a ton and a half of three eighths inch stone. Small enough on the paws that they run full speed without slipping, and it has stayed put through a summer of digging attempts. Way better than the mud pit we had before, and cleanup after rain takes half the time now.”

“Water used to carve a little trench under the downspout every time it stormed at our place outside Columbia. Louisiana Rock Supply brought out a ton and a half of river rock and I spread it myself in an afternoon under both downspouts on the north side. No more mud splashing up onto the siding, and the rounded stone has stayed put through a full year of hard rain since I laid it down.”

“Livingston sits low enough that every heavy rain reminds you why the parish flooded back in 2016, so when we framed out a room addition on the back of the house we wanted the pad a full foot higher than the old slab. Fifteen yards of fill dirt went down in two loads, and the tandem driver eased the truck around our carport without touching the gutters. Louisiana Rock Supply quoted less than the excavator we called first, and a month of afternoon downpours since has not left a single puddle near the new footing.”

“Manage the entrance beds for a small subdivision outside Iowa and the board wanted something sharp looking before the spring walk through. Louisiana Rock Supply delivered eight yards of shredded mulch and the driver placed it in three piles along the entrance drive so my crew could wheelbarrow it into the beds. Held its color and moisture through a hot summer, and the weeds that used to pop up every few weeks have stayed gone.”

“We run cattle on soft ground near the bayou and every wet winter the feed truck would bog down at the gate. Louisiana Rock Supply delivered thirty tons of number four stone right where the tandem could dump it, and my husband spread it with the tractor bucket over two days. It has held through two hurricane seasons of rain without disappearing into the mud, which beats the pit run we tried before.”

“The gravel lot where we park the skidders and log trucks outside Oakdale used to turn into standing water after every good rain since it sits low near the creek. Louisiana Rock Supply brought in twenty tons of railroad ballast to build it up, and the big angular rock drains faster than anything else we tried before. A year into hauling timber across it and the lot has stayed dry even after the heaviest downpours.”

“Our school volunteer group put in six raised beds for the community garden outside Krotz Springs this spring, and none of us wanted to deal with bagged soil for that much square footage. Louisiana Rock Supply delivered three yards in one load and the kids helped shovel it into the beds over an afternoon. Everything from squash to peppers has come up thick, and the teachers say it is the best the garden has looked.”

“Our house near Morgan City sits close enough to the water that the crawl space would flood every heavy rain. Laid down six tons of number eighty nine stone around the foundation perimeter for drainage, and Louisiana Rock Supply had the tandem dump it in three spots so we didn't have to wheelbarrow it far. A year of storms later, including one tropical system, and the crawl space has stayed dry.”

“Leveled the ground under an above ground pool at our place outside Grand Coteau with mason sand before setting it up for the summer. Louisiana Rock Supply got two tons out to us within the promised window, and my husband and I screeded it level with a straight board across the frame rails. Filled the pool the next day and it has stayed even all season with the grandkids jumping in and out of it.”

“Needed a proper footing for the round pen at our small barn outside Basile where the horses were slipping in the loose dirt during groundwork. Louisiana Rock Supply delivered five tons of stone screenings and we spread it with a drag harrow behind the four wheeler over a weekend. It compacted into a firm but forgiving surface, and six months of daily lunging later there are no ruts or soft spots forming.”

“Our lane out past White Castle had gone to potholes and washboard after two seasons of cane trucks rolling through. Louisiana Rock Supply brought out twelve tons of driveway gravel and the driver spread the first pass with the truck bed before I finished it off with the tractor blade. Smooth as a fresh road now, and the ruts haven't come back even with the trucks running again this harvest.”

“We used fifty seven stone for drainage around the foundation of a rental house near Covington that always flooded in the crawl space during heavy summer storms. Ended up needing eighteen tons total, three more than the first estimate, so I had to call back for a second small delivery mid project. Louisiana Rock Supply got the extra load out within a day, which saved the schedule. The stone itself has done exactly what we hoped, water moves off fast now instead of pooling under the house, and the tenant hasn't complained about a musty smell since we finished. Just budget a little more than the calculator suggests.”
