Products and Materials
Other materials available include river gravel, Road Base, fill dirt, and screened sand. Tell us your project type for a recommendation.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Crushed limestone or Road Base make a firm, compacted base. A layer of clean stone on top improves drainage in low spots.
- Drainage: Use Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel around French drains and downspouts. Avoid material with fines that can clog water flow.
- Patios and walkways: A 4-inch base of crushed limestone stabilizes the soil. Spread concrete sand on top to level paving stones before laying them.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative Natural Pea Gravel or river rock works for pathways. For planting, topsoil enriches the soil and hardwood mulch suppresses weeds.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70172 in New Orleans sits in a flat, low-lying area with high rainfall. The soil is often slow to drain, and standing water can be a problem after heavy storms.
Many properties have limited space between houses. Driveways are often short and paved. For new gravel driveways, a compactable base material like crushed limestone resists rutting better than loose stone.
Drainage work is common. Crushed Stone moves water away from foundations better than material with dust. The mild winters mean no freeze-thaw stress, so concrete sand and Natural Pea Gravel stay stable year-round.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70172 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply is delivery only. We serve much of ZIP 70172 with tractor trailer or dump truck deliveries.
Streets in older parts of the ZIP can be narrow with parked cars on both sides. Overhead utility lines are common. If your driveway is tight, tell the team before ordering so we can plan the drop location.
Soft ground after rain is a concern. We recommend placing a plywood sheet where the truck will dump to avoid rutting. We can also use a small conveyor truck for limited access spots.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70172 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70172?
Yes. We deliver bulk aggregates, sand, soil, and mulch directly to properties in ZIP 70172 of New Orleans. Contact us to confirm access for your street.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Crushed limestone or recycled Road Base are the most common choices. They compact into a hard surface that handles heavy rain without washing away. A layer of clean stone on top improves drainage.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines (dust and small chips) that bind the stone together. It compacts into a solid base. Crushed Stone has no fines, so water drains through it easily. Use clean stone for drainage and crusher run for driveways.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Crushed Stone, typically 1 to 2 inches in size. It allows water to move away from the foundation wall. Avoid materials with dust that can form mud and block the drain.
Can material be delivered to long driveways or tight lots in ZIP 70172?
Yes, but we need to know the access conditions. Long driveways may require a smaller truck. Tight lots with low overhead wires may need a spotter. Let us know before delivery day.
