610 Limestone for Orleans Parish, LA Projects
Louisiana Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Orleans Parish, including New Orleans. 610 Limestone, also called #610 or 610 base, is a compacting base for pads, parking areas and road work. Across Louisiana, where a site has a high water table, gumbo clay or subsidence concerns, build pads upward and use a base that holds its shape while wet.

Materials for Orleans Parish Work
Choose base material for compaction, clean stone for drainage, fill for building grade and soil products for planting areas. Product names below match the online catalogue, with local trade names and common aliases where they apply.
For a slab pad or limestone parking area, start with Select Fill where grade needs to come up, then place 610 Limestone in lifts and compact each lift. Road Base is another compacting base for drive lanes and work surfaces. Roads and camp roads through wetlands need compacted base material, with 610 Limestone suited to that role.
For water movement, use clean #57 Limestone around drain lines, at French drains and around culvert outlets. Keep fines out of the drainage stone where water needs open spaces to pass through. Check the intended outlet and finished grade before placing material.
Natural Pea Gravel and river rock are finish materials for walks, beds and driveway surfaces. Use them over a prepared base where needed. They are not road or camp road materials.
Ground Conditions to Check in Orleans Parish
Before ordering, mark the finished grade, identify where water needs to move, and inspect the unloading area for soft spots. Across Louisiana, where a site has a high water table, gumbo clay or subsidence, a pad is built up instead of cut deeper. Plan the fill and base layers before calculating the quantity.
The statewide frost-depth guide is 6 inches. Confirm local project requirements before setting slab edges, drains or other work affected by frost depth. For wet sites, protect the base from standing water and compact material in controlled lifts.
Choosing the Right Material
For a driveway base, use 610 Limestone or Road Base, then finish with Natural Pea Gravel if a loose-stone surface is wanted. For a pad, build grade with Select Fill and cap it with compacted 610 Limestone. For drains, French drains and culvert outlets, use #57 Limestone. For a patio, use compacted 610 Limestone below the finish layer, with Natural Pea Gravel for a loose-stone surface. For lawn grading, use Select Fill for shape, then Topsoil or Garden soil as the finished growing layer.
