Buy Driveway Gravel in Sondheimer, LA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Sondheimer, LA online, by the ton or by the yard. Louisiana Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone, clean stone, sand, soil and decorative rock across East Carroll Parish.

Start with 610 limestone for a driveway, a parking pad or the layer under flatwork. The ground here is heavy clay, so the base carries the load.

Materials for Sondheimer Projects

Base and driveway surfacing come first. 610 limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is the Louisiana base size: stone dust up to about two inches, with the fines left in so it binds and hardens as it is rolled.

It goes under drives, pads and flatwork. Order it as 610 Limestone.

Crushed Concrete is recycled Portland cement concrete, crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines kept in. Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

It is a base layer, not crushed quarry stone.

For a driveway surface, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It also suits drainage and concrete work.

Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a finished base course.

Water is the other half of the job. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour, canal and bayou edges, and slope protection.

Sand and soil round out a project. 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. Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water.

Ground and Conditions in Sondheimer

Across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains, the ground is recent alluvium: silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers, deep and heavy. Sandier natural levee ridges run along the old channels, and backswamp clay sits in the low ground between them.

The water table is high and the clay will not take water. The land is flat, the ridges are the only ground that drains by itself, and the backswamp holds rain until it is ditched or pumped away.

That is why the drainage layer is the part that has to work. Clean stone with the fines washed out lets water move; a fines-bearing material holds it.

Select Fill compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

Erosion comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. RipRap is the angular stone for that work.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass.
