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 Natural Pea Gravel, river rock, Stone Screenings, and garden soil are also available for specific project needs.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Crusher run compacts to a hard, durable surface that resists rutting. For a top coat, consider Crushed Stone or a decorative gravel if drainage is less critical.
- Drainage: Crushed Stone or drain rock allows water to move quickly. Avoid materials with fines that can clog drainage pipes or reduce flow.
- Patios and walkways: Spread concrete sand as a leveling base over compacted crusher run. Then set pavers or flagstone on top for a stable, long-lasting walkway.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Brown mulch or decorative stones suppress weeds and retain moisture. Top soil improves planting areas, while garden soil is richer for vegetables and flowers.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70178 covers a mix of older built-up lots and newer subdivisions in New Orleans. Much of the area sits on flat, former marshland with slow-draining clay soils.
Heavy rain and occasional hurricanes mean that surface water must move away from foundations. Crushed Stone in drain channels and under downspout extensions is a common fix.
Driveways in the ZIP tend to be short and close to the street. Homeowners often need a compactable base like crusher run for durability in wet weather. Decorative stones work well in raised beds where drainage is less of a concern.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70178 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply is a delivery-only service. Trucks can serve much of ZIP 70178, including tight residential streets and narrow driveways.
We recommend clearing the drop location before delivery. Overhead branches, low wires, or soft ground after rain may affect where the driver can place the load.
Single-load homeowner orders are common, and our drivers can handle them. Larger contractor jobs can be staged over multiple deliveries. Plan for good turnaround space to avoid backing issues on busy streets.

Common questions about delivery to 70178 in New Orleans, LA

What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Crusher run is the top choice for a compacted base that holds up in wet conditions. It locks together under weight and forms a solid surface.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines that bind the stone when compacted. Crushed Stone is washed free of dust, so water drains through it easily.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Crushed Stone (1 to 2 inch) works well in French drains and foundation trenches. It lets water flow away without clogging the drainage system.
Can one project require more than one material?
Yes. A paver patio needs a compacted base of crusher run, a leveling layer of concrete sand, and then the pavers themselves. Multiple materials work together.
