610 Limestone, Sand and Gravel Delivery in West Feliciana Parish, LA
If you are building a driveway, setting a patio base, or running drainage on a slope, you need gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in West Feliciana Parish, LA. Louisiana Rock Supply sells it in bulk and tips it at the job site.
Start with 610 limestone, the dense graded base a Louisiana contractor names first. The ground here is wind laid silt, and silt carries water fast, so what sits under a slab matters as much as the slab.
Ground Conditions Across West Feliciana Parish
Across the loess bluffs above the Mississippi, the soil is wind laid silt dropped along the east side of the valley from glacial outwash far upriver. It is deep, fine, and easy to work.
It is also very easily eroded. The bluffs stand steeply because the silt holds a face, and they gully the moment that face is stripped.
Silt takes water readily and then carries it. That is the opposite of the clay problem elsewhere in the state, and it brings its own trouble.
Water moving through and over fine silt cuts channels fast. A drive built across a slope becomes the channel.
Gully cutting in bare silt is the failure to plan around, along with bluff retreat and slope wash wherever the cover is off. Keep ground covered and route water away from a cut face.
Wet silt will not compact, and it moves when it is wet. Work runs year round, but a saturated subgrade is not a base.
Materials Delivered in West Feliciana Parish
Louisiana DOTD specifies aggregate quality in Section 1003 of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, with soundness and abrasion requirements in Subsection 1003.01. A source has to meet Section 1003 to be listed on the department's approved materials list.
In the trade, the size designations are what a buyer actually says. 610 is the dense graded base size, carrying everything from stone dust up to about two inches so that it packs hard.
610 Limestone, also called #610, 610 base, or CR610, is the compacted layer under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and flatwork. The fines bind it and it hardens as it is rolled.
The same 610 designation covers crushed limestone and recycled Portland cement concrete. Louisiana permits the recycled material as a Class II base course material.
Crushed Concrete, or recycled base, is recycled Portland cement concrete crushed and screened to a dense graded size with the fines left in. It is not crushed quarry stone.
#57 Limestone is the clean open graded size, about 3/4 inch with no fines. It is a driveway surface stone and the usual choice for drainage and concrete work.
#67 Stone is a clean stone a little finer than #57, for drainage trenches, pipe bedding and concrete.
#4 Crushed Stone is coarse, roughly 1 1/2 inch, for heavy drainage, erosion work and stabilising very wet ground.
Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs. On ground with a water table this close to the surface, the drainage layer is the part that has to work.
Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen. They bed and joint pavers and pack the top of a path.
Select Fill raises low ground and builds a pad up out of the water. It compacts rather than settling, so it goes under a base course and not under a lawn.
Top Soil is the growing layer for lawns, beds and grade repair, over ground that is more often heavy clay than anything a lawn wants.
Mason Sand is the finest washed sand, for mortar, brick and block work and for a smooth paver setting bed.
