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 concrete sand, masonry sand, Natural Pea Gravel, and garden soil are also available for specialized needs.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: For a long-lasting driveway, start with a base of crushed stone or modified base. A compactable material with fines creates a firm foundation that resists rutting in New Orleans conditions.
- Drainage: Use clean drain rock or Natural Pea Gravel around foundations and in French drains. Fines in crushed stone can trap water and slow drainage, so avoid them in wet areas.
- Patios and walkways: Lay a 4-inch layer of modified base as the compacted sub-base. Top with sand or fine gravel as a setting bed, then install pavers or flagstone.
- Landscape beds and soil work: For plants, choose top soil or garden soil depending on drainage needs. Use river rock or decorative gravel for mulch-free beds that hold up to heavy rain.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70166 sits within New Orleans, a low-lying area with a high water table and clay-rich soils. Most properties are on flat lots with slow natural drainage, so materials that promote water movement are often preferred.
The older sections of the ZIP have compact urban lots with narrow driveways and limited storage space. Newer subdivisions may have slightly larger lots but still deal with the same clay soil and periodic heavy rain from storms.
Frost depth is minimal here, so base thickness for driveways and patios can be shallower than in colder climates. The primary concern is managing moisture and preventing settling under traffic or structures.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70166 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply is a delivery-only service. Trucks serve much of ZIP 70166, including both tight urban lots and larger suburban properties.
Homeowners should ensure there is clear overhead clearance for the truck. Low branches, power lines, and narrow gate openings can limit access. A paved or hard-packed drop zone helps when the ground is wet.
For long driveways or shared lanes, let the team know ahead of time. Single-load orders for small projects are common, and the driver can tailgate-spread material to save you work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70166 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70166 in New Orleans?
Yes, American Rock Supply delivers bulk aggregates, soil, and mulch directly to properties in ZIP 70166. Coverage includes most residential and commercial addresses in this area.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Crushed stone (1 1/2 inch) or modified base is the standard for driveways. These materials compact well and hold up under rain and heavy vehicles without washing away.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines that bind the stone together when compacted. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it leaves open spaces for water to drain. Use crusher run for stable bases; use clean stone for drainage applications.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation in this ZIP?
Clean drain rock or Natural Pea Gravel works best around foundations. They let water flow quickly to drains and keep the area dry. Avoid materials with fines, which can hold moisture against the foundation.
What should I consider before scheduling a bulk delivery?
Know the drop location and confirm that the truck can reach it. Check for overhead wires, gates, and soft ground. Have a rough idea of the volume needed, and we can help you confirm the right amount.
