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 #57 stone, Natural Pea Gravel, and screened fill sand are also available for drainage, french drains, and utility backfill projects.
Material Selection by Project Type
- Driveways: Crushed limestone compacts into a firm surface that stands up to summer storms and occasional flooding. A base layer of larger stone adds stability on soft ground.
- Drainage: Crushed Stone or river rock lets water move freely. Avoid materials with fines near foundations or low spots where silt can plug the drain.
- Patios and walkways: Use masonry sand as a setting bed. It levels easily and locks pavers in place without washing out during heavy rain.
- Landscape beds and soil work: River rock or cedar mulch covers beds with low maintenance. Topsoil restores lawns and creates planter areas that drain well in New Orleans clay.
Local Conditions That Affect Material Choice
ZIP 70186 covers a mix of older built-up lots and newer subdivisions. Many properties have compact yards with limited storage space.
The soil in this part of New Orleans tends to hold moisture, which means proper base prep matters more than in sandy areas. Heavy rainfall can turn a loose driveway into a rutted mess without the right compactable stone.
Mild winters reduce freeze-thaw concerns, so drainage and erosion control are the main factors when choosing aggregates. Flat terrain in most of the ZIP means runoff needs careful grading.
Delivery and Access in ZIP 70186 of New Orleans
American Rock Supply delivers directly to your site in ZIP 70186. Our trucks can handle long driveways and tight streets where older homes line narrow lots.
Before scheduling, check for low overhead branches or wires along the access route. Soft ground after recent rain can make a drop zone muddy, so a firm, dry area near the driveway works best.
For small homeowner loads, a single dump truck can place material right where you need it. Contractors with larger jobs can coordinate multiple loads the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about delivery to 70186 in New Orleans, LA
Does American Rock Supply deliver to ZIP 70186?
Yes, we serve much of ZIP 70186 in New Orleans. Contact us with your full address to confirm access and schedule a drop.
What aggregate is best for a residential driveway in New Orleans?
Crushed limestone works well because it compacts solid and sheds water. A base of larger stone followed by a top layer gives a long-lasting surface.
What is the difference between crusher run and Crushed Stone?
Crusher run contains fines that bind the stone together, making it ideal for compacted bases. Crushed Stone has no fines and drains freely, better for drainage systems around foundations.
How do I figure out how much material I need?
Measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area in feet. Contact us with those dimensions and the project type, and we will help estimate the right amount.
What should I consider before scheduling a bulk delivery?
Check that the drop area is clear of vehicles and obstacles. Let us know if your driveway is long, narrow, or has a gate, so we can bring the right truck size.
