Common projects include residential driveways, paver patios, drainage work, landscape beds, lawn repair, and base preparation for sheds, outbuildings, and small contractor jobs.
Products and Materials
Secondary materials such as top soil and garden soil are also available for lawn repair and raised beds. The team can help match the right blend to your specific project needs.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Use a compactable base like crushed stone or limestone with fines. This creates a strong, stable surface that can handle vehicle traffic and Louisiana's wet weather.
- Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel without fines. These materials allow water to pass through freely, making them ideal for French drains and foundation perimeter drainage.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted crushed stone base, then top with sand as a setting bed. This sandwich method prevents settling and keeps pavers level through freeze-thaw cycles.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative stone like Natural Pea Gravel or mulch works well for beds. For planting, top soil or garden soil mixed with compost improves drainage in clay-heavy New Orleans soil.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70151 covers primarily urban and older suburban lots in New Orleans. Many properties sit on flat terrain with slow-draining clay soil that holds moisture after heavy rain.
Driveways tend to be short but often have limited turnaround space. In compact lots, access for a dump truck may require careful planning, especially when overhead branches or power lines are present.
The area experiences mild winters with occasional freeze-thaw cycles. This can cause unprotected base layers to shift, so compactable materials with angular edges are recommended for paved surfaces.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70151 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply is delivery-only and serves much of ZIP 70151. A standard tandem axle dump truck can navigate most streets in the area, but tight urban lots may require a smaller truck or a specific drop location.
Soft ground after rain can be a concern for heavy trucks. Let us know if your driveway or access path has compacted soil or drainage issues so we can plan the drop.
Single-load homeowner orders are welcome. For larger contractor jobs, we can schedule multiple loads or split deliveries to different locations on the same site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70151 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70151?
Yes, we deliver bulk aggregates, soil, and mulch to addresses in ZIP 70151 of New Orleans. Contact us with your specific street and property details to confirm access.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Crushed stone or limestone with fines (dust or screenings) compacts into a dense, durable surface. This works well in Louisiana's flat, wet conditions and holds up against occasional freeze-thaw cycles.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines that bind the stone together, making it ideal for compacted base layers. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it drains freely and is better for drainage applications or decorative use.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel allows water to move away from the foundation. A layer of washed stone in a French drain or behind a retaining wall helps prevent water buildup in heavy clay soil.
Can material be delivered to long driveways or tight lots in ZIP 70151?
Yes, but access can vary. Our drivers can assess your property when scheduling. If turnaround space is limited, we may suggest a front-dump or a smaller drop spot near the street.
