Products and Materials
We also carry crusher run, fill dirt, Natural Pea Gravel, and various mulch types for smaller projects. Contact us if you need a material not listed in the table.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Choose a compactable base like Road Base or crusher run. A proper base layer prevents rutting and soft spots over time.
- Drainage: Use Crushed Stone such as 57 stone or drain rock. Avoid materials with fines that can clog drainage pipes or gravel trenches.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted base of crushed stone. Top with mason sand for a level surface before laying pavers or concrete slabs.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Decorative river rock or Natural Pea Gravel provides long-lasting ground cover. For planting, topsoil or garden soil improves existing soil structure.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70179 in New Orleans lies in a flat, low-lying area with a high water table and heavy clay soils. Heavy rainfall can keep the ground saturated for days.
Most properties are on tight urban lots with limited storage space. Driveways are often short and paved, but some older homes have gravel or dirt drives that need a firm base.
The moderate climate means less freeze-thaw stress on paved surfaces, but drainage remains a top concern. Clean stone around foundations and in French drains helps move water away from structures.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70179 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply is delivery only. We serve much of ZIP 70179 with dump truck loads for homeowners and contractors.
Truck access depends on street width and overhead clearance. Narrow streets in older neighborhoods may require smaller trucks or careful positioning. Long driveways with tight turnarounds are usually fine, but we need a solid drop area that can support the weight of a loaded truck.
Soft ground after rain can cause ruts. Please choose a firm drop location close to the street if the ground is wet. Single orders and larger contractor jobs are both handled with the same careful delivery process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70179 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70179?
Yes, we deliver bulk aggregates to all areas within ZIP 70179 in New Orleans. Orders are delivered by dump truck and require a suitable drop location.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Road Base or crusher run work well for driveways. They compact into a firm surface that holds up to rain and traffic. A base layer of larger stone can help if the soil is soft.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains stone dust and smaller particles that lock together when compacted. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it drains freely but does not compact into a solid surface.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation?
Use 57 crushed stone or a similar clean gravel. It allows water to flow away from the foundation without trapping moisture against the wall.
Can material be delivered to long driveways or tight lots in ZIP 70179?
We deliver to most properties in the area. Tight lots may require a smaller truck or a street-side drop. We will coordinate with you to find the best access point for your site.
