Products and Materials
For sand products such as concrete sand or mason sand, those are also available by request. Contact the team to confirm availability for your specific project in ZIP 70185.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Choose crushed limestone or crusher run for a compact base that holds up under vehicle weight. A thicker layer is better for softer ground.
- Drainage: Crushed Stone or Natural Pea Gravel without fines works best around foundations and in French drains. Fines can clog the system over time.
- Patios and walkways: Use a compactable base like crushed limestone, then top with sand or Natural Pea Gravel for leveling and setting pavers or flagstone.
- Landscape beds and soil work: Screened topsoil supports new lawns and plantings. Decorative river gravel or hardwood mulch works well for weed suppression and visual appeal.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
New Orleans sits in a low lying area with a high water table. Heavy rain is common, and drainage matters on almost every property.
ZIP 70185 includes older built up lots with limited yard space and newer subdivisions with more open area. Soil in this region often contains clay and organic matter, which can hold moisture and shift under weight.
For driveways and parking areas, a thicker base of compactable material helps prevent sinking. For drainage projects, clean stone with no fines allows water to move quickly away from structures.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70185 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply serves much of ZIP 70185 with delivery only. A truck with a dump bed brings materials directly to your site.
Many properties in New Orleans have narrow streets and limited parking. Let the driver know if overhead branches or power lines may affect access.
For tight lots, a single load with a targeted drop zone works best. Larger contractor jobs can take full truckloads to the job site. Soft ground after rain can make access tricky, so place a tarp or plywood to protect the surface.
Plan for enough space for the truck to enter and exit. Long driveways are generally fine, but tight turns may require extra care.
