This is the stone contractors in Calcasieu Parish spec for drainage beds and pipe bedding. 3/4 to 1 inch, consistent sizing. I see it on commercial site prep jobs constantly.
We run #67 to contractor jobs across Lake Charles, Sulphur, and Westlake every week. Here's where it goes.
Drainage Beds
I'd use #67 under parking lots and commercial sites. Sized right to move water without letting fine material migrate through. Especially important with our clay soils.
Pipe Bedding
Cradles water and sewer lines evenly. Consistent size means every inch of pipe gets the same support. Meets DOTD bedding specs.
Commercial Site Prep
Base layer under commercial pads where drainage matters. Water moves through and out instead of pooling under the slab.
Foundation Backfill
Backfill against foundations to move water away. We deliver this for foundation work in Prien and south Lake Charles regularly. Keeps pressure from building against footings.
Concrete Sub-Base
Drainage layer under concrete slabs. Gives water somewhere to go so it doesn't push up on the slab from below.
Ditch Lining
Lines ditches and channelizes stormwater without eroding the walls. After a June thunderstorm, you'll see why this matters in Calcasieu Parish.

#67 runs 3/4 to 1 inch. We deliver it for drainage beds, pipe bedding, and commercial pad prep. Consistent sizing means uniform void space, which is why contractors around Moss Bluff and Westlake spec it by name.
Difference from #57?
#57 is consistent 3/4 inch with no variation. #67 runs 3/4 to 1 inch, which gives it slightly larger voids and a little better drainage rate. For most drainage jobs they're interchangeable, but #67 is what many contractors spec for backfill and bedding.
Good for pipe bedding?
Yes. #67 meets DOTD pipe bedding specs. The uniform size cradles the pipe evenly without point loading that can stress joints over time.
How much do I need?
Use the calculator on this page. A 100 square foot drainage bed at 4 inches deep needs about 1.2 cubic yards. Call us with that number and we'll give you a delivered price.
Next-day delivery?
Yes. We deliver to all of Calcasieu Parish. Order before noon and you can usually get it next day, whether you're in Lake Charles, Sulphur, or out in Vinton.
