Products and Materials for New Orleans, LA, 70174
For landscape projects, we also carry garden soil, play sand, and mulch. These secondary materials complement the main crushed stone and rock options for complete job coverage.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Use a compactable base like Road Base or limestone screenings topped with a clean stone such as #57 for the surface layer. The base must be thick enough to handle wet soil conditions common in New Orleans.
- Drainage: Choose Crushed Stone (#57 or similar) without dust or fines. This material allows water to percolate quickly, reducing pooling around foundations and low areas.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted sub-base of limestone screenings or crusher run, then apply a setting bed of coarse sand. This sandwich approach prevents settling and keeps pavers level.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative river rock or Crushed Stone works well for mulch-free beds. Mix topsoil into native clay to improve drainage and root growth for planting areas.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice in New Orleans, LA, 70174
ZIP 70174 lies on flat, low-lying terrain with a high water table. Soil here is mostly silty clay that stays wet after heavy rain, so materials that drain well are important.
Older sections of the ZIP feature tight lots with narrow driveways and limited staging areas. Newer subdivisions have more space but still face drainage issues due to slow soil percolation.
Because the area is predominantly urban and suburban, most deliveries require careful placement to avoid blocking traffic. Compact materials work well for short driveways where a strong base is needed.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70174 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply is a delivery-only service. We bring bulk materials directly to your property in ZIP 70174.
Truck access is generally good on main roads, but some older streets are narrow. Overhead branches and low wires can limit where the truck can stop.
Plan for a clear drop zone that can handle a large pile without damaging the surface. Soft ground after rain may require a tarp or plywood to prevent rutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70174 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70174?
Yes, we deliver bulk aggregates to residential and contractor sites in ZIP 70174 of New Orleans. We cover most of the area and can confirm access during your call.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Road Base is a common budget-friendly base for driveways in this area. Top it with #57 crushed stone for a clean, durable surface that handles rain well.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines that compact into a hard base, ideal for driveways. Crushed Stone has no fines, so water passes through easily; it is used for drainage and as a top layer.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Use clean #57 crushed stone or drain rock. It creates a gap for water to move away from the foundation without clogging with sediment.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
Measure the length and width of your project area, then estimate the depth needed. Contact us with those rough dimensions and your use case, and we can recommend a quantity.
Can material be delivered to tight lots in ZIP 70174?
We can deliver to most properties, but tight lots may require a spot where the truck can dump without overhanging obstacles. Let us know your access constraints when you order.
