#67 Limestone Delivery for St. Rose, LA

Louisiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in St. Rose, LA, and the ground here decides what goes under your project.

Across the deltaic plain, the soil is soft clay and organic muck, and the water table sits at or near the surface.

That is why 610 limestone is the base this market builds on. It carries stone dust up to about two inches, so the fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.

Delivery to St. Rose and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Each product page has a calculator if you want to size the load before you commit.

A dump truck then tips the material on your site in St. Rose.

St. Rose sits in St.

Charles Parish, and deliveries reach Luling, Destrehan, Hahnville, Norco and Boutte as well.

Soft ground is worth thinking about before the truck arrives. A loaded truck is heavy, and a pad that has not been built up will not hold it.

Materials for St. Rose Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the first job on most wet lots here, and the material you choose for that decides how the rest of the build goes.

Select Fill is the grade raising material. It compacts rather than settling, so it belongs under a base course and not under a lawn.

Spillway dirt is the other yard term for coarse fill from borrow areas.

610 Limestone goes on top of that as the compacted layer. It is the base for driveways, parking pads, 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 a base layer, not a quarry stone.

For a driveway surface, #57 Limestone is the clean open graded size at about 3/4 inch with no fines. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a finished base course.

For drainage, Drain Rock is washed clean with the fines taken out. It suits French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

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

For beds and paths, Garden Soil is a blended planting soil for raised beds, which matter here because the natural ground sits wet. River Rock is rounded decorative stone for beds and borders where nothing has to compact.

Ground and Conditions in St. Rose

Start with the soil, because it sets what the base has to do. In this part of the state the ground is organic muck and soft clay, under consolidated and highly compressible.

The water table is at or near the surface, so the ground is already saturated. Nothing here drains downward.

Water leaves by pump, canal or not at all.

An under-built base fails on that ground. A pad built on muck settles under its own weight before anything is parked on it, so the fill layer has to be built to carry the load above it.

Erosion is the other pressure. Coastal and wetland loss, storm surge, canal and bayou bank retreat and wave action along open water all move ground.

Riprap is angular stone for bank and shoreline armour and slope protection, and rounded stone does not lock together, so it is not bank armour.

Work runs year round here, interrupted by rain and by high water rather than by cold.

Questions About Base and Fill in St. Rose

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

Build the pad first with select fill, because the natural ground here is soft and compressible. Then use 610 limestone as the compacted base layer, since its fines bind and harden as it is rolled.

For the setting bed itself, mason sand or stone screenings give you a fine, even surface to lay pavers on.
