Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Ringgold, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Ringgold, LA for contractors and homeowners alike. Some jobs here want a driveway rebuilt from the base up, and some want a load of top soil for a bed.

We sell 610 limestone, the crushed limestone base this parish specifies by number, along with washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock.

Ringgold sits in Bienville Parish, on ground that is sandy loam over clay and rolls rather than lies flat. That shape decides which material belongs where.

Materials for Ringgold Projects

Start with the base, because it carries everything above it. 610 limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is crushed limestone with the fines left in.

Stone dust up to about two inches binds it, so it hardens as it is rolled. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork.

Crushed concrete, sold here as recycled base or 610 concrete, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed to a dense graded size with fines retained. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is a base layer, not crushed limestone.

Once the base is in, the surface decides what the drive feels like and how water leaves it.

• Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a finished base course.
• #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines, for drive surfaces, drainage and concrete work.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone is sold by inch size as well as by number, for drive surfacing and trench backfill.
• #67 Stone is a clean stone a little finer than #57, for drainage trenches and pipe bedding.
• #8 Crushed Stone is a small clean stone at roughly 3/8 inch, for fine drainage and paver bedding.

Sand and soil finish the working parts of a site. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and a smooth paver setting bed.

Washed sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork and backfills where a clean fine material is wanted.

Top soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair, laid 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, and raised beds matter here because the natural ground sits wet.

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling.

Decorative and drainage stone round out the choices. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded pea sized gravel for paths, dog runs and play areas.

River Rock is rounded decorative stone for beds and borders. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Ringgold

Across the northern and western uplands, the surface soil is sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays. The sandy loam takes water in, and the clay beneath it does not.

So water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws instead of soaking away.

Slope is what moves water here, not a water table. That means a drive or pad on a slope sheds water toward the low side, and the low side is where the material has to hold up.

A clean stone drainage layer under or beside the work is what keeps water moving rather than sitting against it.

Bare sandy slopes cut quickly once the cover is gone. Gully cutting on an exposed bank and scour in the draws and ditches are the two places that show up.

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

Work runs year round on this ground. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so the base course and the pad want to go in when that clay can take the roller.

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and tips in one pile at the address you choose. Have the spot clear and reachable before the truck gets there, because the driver tips the load where the truck can stand and does not spread it.

Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load from your own measurements.
