#89 Limestone, Stone and Soil Delivery in Sikes, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Sikes, LA, and 610 limestone is the base material this market names by number. It goes under drives, pads and flatwork, and it hardens as it is rolled.

Sikes sits in Winn Parish, on ground that is sandy loam over clay. That mix matters for anything you build here.

Materials for Sikes Projects

Washed stone is the part of a drainage job that has to work. Clean stone has the fines taken out, so water moves through it instead of sitting in it.

Use Drain Rock for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. On ground where water gathers in the draws, that drainage layer is what keeps a wet spot from spreading.

Size is the main choice you make. Coarse clean stone moves the most water; finer clean stone fits tighter spaces.

610 Limestone is the base course: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in so it binds and compacts. It carries driveways, parking pads and shed pads, and the layer under flatwork.

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 is not crushed limestone.

Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. They bed pavers and pack the surface of a path.

Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed. Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns and beds over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.

Delivery to Sikes and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a delivery date at checkout. Quantities are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and each product page has a calculator to size the load.

A dump truck tips the material in one pile at the site. Plan where that pile lands before the truck arrives, because the driver does not place or spread it.

Delivery covers Sikes and the rest of Winn Parish, including Winnfield, Dodson and Atlanta. Put the delivery address in when you order and the truck comes to that site.

Ground and Conditions in Sikes

Work runs year round in this part of the state. Wet clay in the draws is what stops a compaction pass, so timing a delivery around that is worth doing.

The ground here is coastal plain uplands: sandy loam over Tertiary sands and clays, rolling rather than flat. Ridges drain well and the draws hold clay.

The sandy loam surface takes water and the clay beneath it does not. Water moves sideways down the slopes and gathers in the draws, so slope is what moves it here rather than a water table.

Bare sandy slopes cut into gullies quickly once the cover is gone, and the draws scour at ditches and streams. Riprap and clean stone at those edges slow the loss.

That is why the drainage layer matters more than the surface on a lot of ground in the uplands. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water, and it compacts rather than settling.
