Tangipahoa Parish, LA 610 Limestone for Pads and Driveways
Louisiana Rock Supply provides bulk materials for projects across Tangipahoa Parish, including Hammond. 610 Limestone is the working base for driveways, slab pads, parking areas and road work. Across Louisiana, where a site has a high water table or gumbo clay, build pads up instead of cutting them down, then use a base that holds together through wet conditions.
Delivery Across Tangipahoa Parish
Order online by the ton or the yard, use the calculator on each product page, and select a delivery date at checkout. Material arrives as one pile from a dump truck. We deliver in Hammond, including ZIP codes 70401 and 70403.
Before ordering, check that the truck has a clear approach, firm ground at the drop location, and enough room to turn and raise the bed. Keep vehicles, overhead lines, gates and building materials out of the unloading path. Pick a pile location that leaves room for spreading and compaction equipment.
Materials for Tangipahoa Parish Projects
Start with the material matched to the job. 610 Limestone is the local base choice, also called #610 or 610 base, and it aligns with DOTD Section 1003 Class II base course. Road Base is another compactable base for driveway and pad work. Use clean, open stone where water needs a path through the material.
For a slab pad or driveway, place 610 Limestone in lifts and compact each lift before adding the next. A 4 to 6 inch compacted base suits many light-duty projects, while heavier traffic or soft, wet ground calls for a site-specific plan and more built-up depth. Road Base also works as a compactable base where recycled base is specified.
Use #57 Limestone around drainage work where clean stone is needed to keep water moving. It fits French drains and culvert outlets with suitable pipe, fabric and grade. For a finished walking path, bed or driveway surface, use Natural Pea Gravel or River rock. Camp roads and other road work need a compacted 610 Limestone base rather than Natural Pea Gravel or river rock.
Select Fill is useful where the grade needs to be raised before base or finish material goes down. Spread it in manageable lifts, shape the area for runoff, and compact it before placing the next layer.
Ground Checks for Tangipahoa Parish
Walk the site before you calculate material. Across Louisiana, where water stands after rain, the water table is high, or gumbo clay is present, plan the finished grade so water has a way out. Mark low spots, drainage paths, culvert locations and the proposed height of the driveway or pad.
Use 6 inches as Louisiana's statewide frost-depth guide, then confirm local requirements for work tied to a structure. Check the ground after wet weather, decide where the dump truck can unload safely, and avoid placing base directly over soft, saturated ground without addressing the site condition first.
Choosing the Right Material
For a driveway or slab pad, use 610 Limestone as the compacted base. For a parking area, #57 Limestone works as a clean stone layer, while Road Base provides a compactable base option. For a drain, French drain or culvert outlet, choose #57 Limestone.
For a patio base, use compacted 610 Limestone below the finished surface. For lawn grading and raising a low area, use Select Fill. For a decorative walk, bed or finished driveway surface, choose Natural Pea Gravel or River rock after the base and grade are in place.
