Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Vidalia, LA

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Vidalia, LA runs year round, and heavy rain is what stops the work. Louisiana Rock Supply delivers 610 limestone, soil and fill across Concordia Parish.

On ground this wet, timing the drop matters as much as the material you pick.

Materials for Vidalia Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil and fill layers, so those come first. The ground here is heavy clay more often than not, and a lawn will not grow on it without a growing layer on top.

Top Soil is that growing layer, for lawns, beds and grade repair. Garden Soil is a blended planting mix for raised beds and vegetable gardens, which suit this ground better than in-ground planting.

Under either one, 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.

Louisiana yards also list river silt and spillway dirt beside it as grade raising material.

Once the pad is up, the base course goes down. 610 Limestone is the Louisiana base size, stone dust up to about two inches, and the fines bind it so it hardens as it is rolled.

It carries driveways, parking pads, shed pads and the compacted layer under flatwork.

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

It is not crushed limestone, and it is not the same product.

For clean stone, #57 Limestone is about 3/4 inch with no fines, and it is the usual choice for drainage and concrete work. #67 Stone is a little finer, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.

Drain Rock is washed clean with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. With a water table this close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.

For sand, Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed. Washed Sand, also called river sand, beds pipe and flatwork and backfills where a clean fine material is wanted.

For beds and borders, River Rock is rounded decorative stone for ground cover where nothing has to compact. Shredded Mulch dresses beds, tree rings and slopes.

Ground and Conditions in Vidalia

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 driver is a high water table over clay that will not take water. The land is flat, and the ridges are the only ground that drains by itself.

The backswamp between them holds rain until it is ditched or pumped away.

That shapes what you build. A pad that sits low will stay wet, so select fill goes in first to lift the grade before any base course goes down.

Around a foundation, drain rock carries water away from the wall instead of letting it sit against it.

Erosion comes from bank cutting on the rivers and bayous, sheet flow across bare clay after a hard rain, and ditch and canal scour. Bare clay sheds water fast, so cover it or armour the edge.

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