Fill and Base Material Delivered in Scott, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Scott, LA. The base material here is 610 limestone, also called 610 base or CR610.

It is crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it hardens as it is rolled.

Scott sits in Lafayette Parish, on level terrace ground where the topsoil is silt loam over dense clay. That ground shapes what you order.

Materials for Scott Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work this ground asks for. The terrace surface is silt loam over dense clay, so low spots stay soft and a pad has to be built up out of the water rather than cut into it.

Start with Select Fill. It is a compactable fill for lifting low ground and building a pad up to grade.

It compacts instead of settling, so it belongs under a base course, not under a lawn.

River silt is the other Louisiana name for fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms, and yards list it beside fill dirt and spillway dirt for grade raising. On top of the fill, 610 Limestone is the base course for a driveway, a parking pad, a shed pad, or the layer under flatwork.

What to Order for Common Projects

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material, and it works as a base layer under drives and pads.

For a clean open graded stone with no fines, #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch and goes on drainage and concrete work. #4 Crushed Stone is a coarser clean stone for heavy drainage and wet ground.

Ground and Conditions in Scott

Across the southwest coastal prairie terraces, the surface is silt loam over a dense clay subsoil. A tight claypan often sits close enough to the surface to stop roots and water alike.

Rain gets through the silt loam, reaches the dense subsoil and stops. Water perches in the top foot, so the ground stays soft long after the rain has gone.

On ground this flat there is no fall to carry it off.

That is why an under-built base fails here. A base course laid straight on soft clay moves, and the surface above it follows.

Select Fill first, then 610 limestone, gives the pad something that compacts.

Erosion comes from sheet flow across bare terrace ground, ditch and coulee scour, and rill cutting on fresh grade before it is covered. Cover a new grade promptly, and use angular stone such as RipRap on banks and canal edges.

Rounded stone does not lock together and is not bank armour.

Work runs year round in this part of the state. Wet spells set the schedule rather than cold ones, so plan around the water table.

Questions About Material in Scott

What is the best base under pavers in Scott?

Use 610 limestone as the compacted base course. Its fines bind the stone so it hardens as it is rolled, which gives the bedding layer something solid to sit on.

Over that, Mason Sand makes a smooth setting bed and Stone Screenings fill the joints. On this ground, build the base on Select Fill so the claypan below does not let the whole assembly move.

Do you supply contractors working in Scott?

Yes. Louisiana Rock Supply delivers bulk aggregate to job sites in Scott and across Lafayette Parish, including Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Carencro and Duson.
