Bulk Aggregates near Shreveport, LA, 71164

Material Selection by Project Type

• Driveways: Crusher run works best for a stable, compacted base. A layer of clean stone underneath improves drainage in wet areas.
• Drainage: Use Crushed Stone around foundations or in French drains. Fines in crusher run can slow water movement.
• Patios and walkways: Concrete sand creates a level base and joint filler for pavers. A crushed stone subbase prevents settling.
• Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative gravel adds curb appeal with low maintenance. Topsoil or garden soil gives plants a healthy start.

Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice

ZIP 71164 covers a mix of older suburban lots and newer developments. Many properties have clay-based soils that drain slowly after heavy rain.

Driveways in this area often need a thick gravel base to handle moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. Sloped properties benefit from angular stone that locks together.

Near the Red River lowlands, soil can shift more. A deeper subbase of clean stone helps prevent movement under pavers or concrete.
