Common projects include residential driveways, paver patios, drainage work, landscape beds, lawn repair, and base preparation for sheds and small contractor jobs.
For specialty needs like fill dirt, compost, or large riprap, check our full catalog. Most orders combine a base material with a decorative top layer.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Crusher run compacts well and forms a stable base. For a finished driveway, top it with Crushed Stone #57 to keep dust down and allow drainage.
- Drainage: Use Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel. Material without fines lets water move through quickly and prevents clogging.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a crushed stone base for stability, then top with Natural Pea Gravel or Stone Screenings for a firm, walkable surface.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil enriches beds for planting, while river rock or larger decorative stone creates low-maintenance dry areas.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70182 in New Orleans sits in a flat, low-lying area with a high water table. Soils are predominantly clay, which drains slowly and can shift with moisture.
Properties in this ZIP range from older, compact city lots to newer subdivisions with more open space. On tight lots, access for large dump trucks may be limited, and runoff from heavy rain must be managed.
Clay-based ground often requires a thicker base layer for driveways and patios. Clean, angular stone is preferred below grade to promote drainage and prevent heaving.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70182 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply delivers throughout much of ZIP 70182 using dump trucks with up to 20 tons of material. We serve both homeowners and contractors.
Trucks need a solid, dry path to the drop zone. Soft ground after rain can make access tricky, especially on long driveways or tight lots.
Check for overhead branches, wires, and adequate turnaround space. A single load often fits in a 10-foot by 20-foot area. Two loads can be dumped side by side.
