Fill and Base Material Delivered in St. Amant, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in St. Amant, LA to driveways, pads and building sites.

The ground here is recent alluvium, silty clay and clay loam laid down by the rivers across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains. That soil is heavy and it holds water, so the base under any hard surface has to be built, not just spread.

610 limestone is the local base material for that work. It is also called #610, 610 base or CR610, and the fines in it bind the stone together as it is rolled.

Materials for St. Amant Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the first job on a lot here, because so much ground sits low and wet. Select Fill is the material for that work.

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

River silt is the Louisiana name for the fine alluvial fill dug from the river bottoms, and yards list it beside fill dirt and spillway dirt as a grade raising material. Once the pad is up, the base course goes on top.

For a driveway, start with 610 Limestone. Stone dust up to about two inches binds it, so it hardens as it is rolled.

Crushed Concrete is the other base option, a recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened with the fines left in, and Louisiana permits it as a Class II base course material.

For a patio or paver area, the bedding layer matters as much as the base. Mason Sand is the finest washed sand and gives a smooth setting bed.

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

For drainage, the open graded stone is the part that has to work. Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

#57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it is a clean stone for drainage and concrete work.

Ground and Conditions in St. Amant

The soil across the Mississippi and Red River alluvial plains is silty clay and clay loam, deep and fertile and heavy. Sandier natural levee ridges run along the old channels, and backswamp clay sits in the low ground between them.

A base built on that clay without enough fill under it will move.

The water table sits close to the surface and the clay will not take water. The land is flat, so the ridges are the only ground that drains by itself, and the low ground holds rain until it is ditched away.

That is why the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

Erosion here comes from river and bayou bank cutting, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. RipRap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection.

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

Work runs year round in this part of the state. Heavy rain and saturated clay, not cold, are what stop a compaction pass, so watch the forecast before you schedule a pad or a base.

Questions About Material in St. Amant

What is the best base under pavers in St. Amant?

Start with 610 limestone as the compacted base course, because the stone dust up to about two inches binds it and it hardens as it is rolled. Over the heavy clay here, build the pad up with select fill first so the base is not sitting on ground that holds water.

Then bed the pavers in mason sand or stone screenings for a smooth setting layer.
