Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Crusher run makes a strong compacted base for driveways in this area. A top coat of #57 stone can improve drainage and appearance.
- Drainage: Use clean #57 crushed stone around foundations or in French drains. Avoid crusher run for drainage because fines can clog the system.
- Patios and walkways: Lay concrete sand as a leveling bed under pavers. A base of crusher run or #57 stone helps prevent settling on soft soil.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Natural Pea Gravel or river rock work well for decorative ground cover. Screened topsoil supports new grass seed and plantings.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70162 covers parts of New Orleans with flat terrain and a high water table. Heavy rain and slow-draining clay soil are common across much of the area.
Homes on compact lots often need good base material for driveways and patios to avoid settling. Properties closer to drainage channels may require permeable stone to manage runoff.
Mild winters mean freeze-thaw is rare, so material choices focus on rain resistance and load bearing rather than frost heave. Always plan for adequate compaction and drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70162 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70162?
Yes. We serve much of New Orleans, including ZIP 70162. Contact us with your specific address to confirm delivery availability and schedule a drop.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Crusher run is a popular choice because it compacts to a dense, stable surface. A layer of #57 stone on top can improve appearance and help with light drainage.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines that bind the stone together when compacted, creating a firm base. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it stays loose and drains water quickly.
Can material be delivered to long driveways or tight lots in ZIP 70162?
We can handle many access situations. Please give us details about your driveway length, gate width, and any overhead obstacles so we can plan the drop properly.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
Measure the length and width (and desired depth) of your project area. Contact us with those dimensions and a description of the project, and we can recommend a quantity.
