Crushed Concrete, Stone and Soil Delivery in Slaughter, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Slaughter, LA, and 610 limestone is the base most ground here gets built on. It is a crushed limestone base with stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it as it is rolled.

Slaughter sits in East Feliciana Parish, on the loess bluffs above the Mississippi. That is wind laid silt: easy to work, and quick to move once water finds it.

Materials for Slaughter Projects

Water is the first thing to plan for on the bluffs. Silt takes water in and then carries it, so the drainage layer is the part of a job that has to work.

That starts with clean washed stone and runs to the finer sizes.

Washed stone and drainage

Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It goes in French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs, where nothing is allowed to hold water back.

#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. It drains, and it is also a driveway surface size.

#67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

#4 Crushed Stone is coarse and clean at roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground. At the fine end, #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone handle paver bedding and joints.

Base and fill

610 limestone is the base for driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork. Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened with the fines left in, and it is specified as a Class II base course material.

Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

Sand, soil and decorative stone

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

RipRap is angular stone for bank and slope protection, and River Rock covers beds and borders where nothing has to compact.

Delivery to Slaughter and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you check out.

You pick your delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck tips the load in one pile on your site. The driver does not place or spread it.

Delivery covers Slaughter and the rest of East Feliciana Parish, including Jackson, Clinton, Wilson, Norwood and Ethel. A property outside the city limits is fine as long as a truck can reach the drop point.

Ground and Conditions in Slaughter

Work here runs year round, and timing is about moisture. Wet silt will not compact, and it moves when it is wet.

That cuts both ways on a delivery. A load dropped on saturated silt can pump under the truck, and a base built on soft ground never tightens up.

It is worth watching the forecast before you set a date.

Erosion is the other half of it. Loess is fine and easily worked, and it gully cuts faster than almost any other soil in the state.

The bluffs hold a steep face until the cover comes off, and then the face washes.

A drive built across a slope becomes the channel for whatever runs down it. That is why the drainage layer matters here, and why a clean washed stone under and beside the work does more than a heavier base would.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Slaughter?

It depends on what the drive sits on. A drive that needs a structural layer starts with 610 limestone, which binds and hardens as it is rolled.

A drive that is already sound can be surfaced with #57 Limestone, the clean 3/4 inch stone that drains. On this ground, drainage often decides it.
