Topsoil and Fill

• Topsoil - screened and suitable for lawns, garden beds, and tree planting
• Fill Dirt - compactable fill for leveling and construction pads

Sands for Specific Uses

• Mason Sand - for mortar mixes and paver setting
• Washed Sand - ideal for drainage and concrete work
• Playground Sand - safe option for residential play areas

Specialty Rock & Decorative Stone

West Feliciana County properties often need both function and aesthetics. Our decorative rock choices complement historic plantation homes and modern yards alike.

Decorative Options

• River Rock - for beds, streamlines, and erosion control
• Pea Gravel - for patios, seating areas, and aesthetic paths
• Decomposed Granite - natural, permeable surface for walkways

When to Choose Decorative Rock

• Accent beds around live oaks and native plantings
• Perimeter drainage swales near the Mississippi River bluffs
• Historic property restoration where a natural look is preferred

Driveway and Road Materials

Driving surfaces in rural West Feliciana County face heavy rain, seasonal saturation, and clay soils that hold water. Choosing the right aggregates prevents rutting and reduces maintenance.

Preferred Driveway Mixes

• 3/4 inch Crushed Stone - excellent load-bearing base
• Crusher Run - compacts to a hard surface and resists washout
• Driveway Gravel - blended tops for traction and look
• Road Base - for larger driveway approaches and private lanes

Why Proper Base Matters

Poor subgrade or insufficient aggregates lead to potholes and washouts during heavy Louisiana rains. A well-designed base with proper road base or crushed stone improves drainage and longevity.

Drainage, Septic, and Erosion Control

Many West Feliciana County properties have soils with moderate to high clay content and inconsistent permeability. Using the right drain rock and #57 stone keeps water moving away from structures.

Drainage Products

• Drain Rock - recommended for French drains and sub-surface systems
• #57 Stone - used for septic drain fields and perimeter drainage
• Crushed Concrete - economical choice for stable drainage layers

Local Erosion Considerations

Slopes near the Mississippi and small streams can experience erosion during heavy storms. Rock-lined swales and riprap areas using river rock or drain rock reduce soil loss and protect landscapes.

Local Soil, Climate, and Construction Notes

West Feliciana County sits on river bluffs and rolling uplands. The soils are often a mix of loamy clays and silt over older alluvial deposits. These conditions affect drainage, compaction, and plant selection.

Climate Considerations

The region has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and frequent rainfall. Heavy summer storms make good drainage critical. Choosing aggregates with excellent permeability reduces standing water and frost heaving risks in cooler months.

Soil and Geology

Local soils can be sticky when wet and firm when dry. Incorporating a stable base such as road base or 3/4 inch crushed stone beneath a driveway reduces long-term maintenance.

Nearby Counties and Regional Context

West Feliciana County borders East Feliciana Parish and Pointe Coupee Parish to the south. Many regional contractors working in neighboring parishes rely on the same aggregate choices for consistent results.
