Common projects include residential driveways, paver patios, drainage work, landscape beds, lawn repair, and base preparation for sheds and outbuildings.
For decorative projects, consider river rock or colored mulch to contrast with greener landscape beds. Many homeowners in ZIP 70184 combine Natural Pea Gravel with top soil to refresh front yards.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Choose crusher run with fines for a compacted, stable surface. A 4 to 6 inch base over geotextile fabric helps prevent rutting in soft New Orleans soil.
- Drainage: Use Crushed Stone (no fines) around foundations and in french drains. The open voids allow water to percolate and reduce hydrostatic pressure.
- Patios and walkways: Start with a compacted crusher run base, then add a 1 inch layer of masonry sand for leveling the pavers. The sand locks joints after sweeping.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Top soil or garden soil feeds planting beds, while decorative stone or mulch covers beds and suppresses weeds. Natural Pea Gravel works well around flower borders.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70184 in New Orleans sits on flat, low-lying ground with slow drainage after heavy rain. The soil is often silty clay that retains moisture.
Properties here range from older town lots with compact yards to newer subdivisions with wider driveways. Many homes have alley access or limited side clearance.
Because the area experiences frequent rainfall and occasional ponding, using Crushed Stone for drainage around the foundation is a common practice. Driveway base materials must resist softening when wet.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70184 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply serves much of ZIP 70184 with delivery only. We bring materials in dump trucks and can unload as a pile or in a spot you choose.
Truck access varies: wider streets on the newer subdivision side allow easy entry, while older blocks may have tight corners or overhead branches. Long driveways are fine if there is turnaround space.
After a rainy week, soft ground can make it hard to get close to the drop area. Placing plywood or a tarp before delivery helps protect the lawn and keeps the pile accessible.
For larger contractor jobs we coordinate multiple loads. Homeowner orders often fit one or two loads of crushed stone or soil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70184 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70184?
Yes, we deliver bulk aggregates, soil, and mulch to homes and job sites in New Orleans 70184. You can place an order online or call to schedule a drop.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Crusher run, also called ABC, works best because it compacts into a hard surface. It handles heavy rain and resists rutting better than loose stone.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines that bind the stones together under compaction. Crushed Stone has no fines, so it stays loose and allows water to drain through.
What material works best for drainage around a foundation in New Orleans?
Clean 1 1/2 inch crushed stone is the most effective. It creates a void layer that moves groundwater away and keeps the foundation dry.
Can material be delivered to long driveways or tight lots in ZIP 70184?
Yes, as long as our truck can safely reach the drop zone and turn around. For very tight alleyways, we may need to spot the material on the street.
