Buy Crushed Stone in Laplace, Louisiana

Whether you are building a new driveway or laying a paver patio, the right crushed stone makes the job last. For a stable base, start with 3/4" Crushed Stone. For a clean setting bed under pavers, 3/8" Crushed Stone works well.

About 66 inches of rain fall in Laplace each year, so drainage planning matters from the start. Choosing the correct stone size for the base layer helps water move away from the surface.

Crushed Stone Sizes Available in Laplace

Crushed stone is graded by size, and the split is simple: larger stones carry loads and drain; smaller stones fill gaps and compact to a firm surface. The table below lists every size you can order.

Choosing the Right Stone for Your Project in Laplace

Think of your project in two layers: a budget base that drains and a wearing course that stays put. The table below matches five common jobs with the sizes that work best.

How Laplace Conditions Affect Your Crushed Stone Job

Soils mapped in the Laplace area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means water tends to sit just below the surface unless you give it an exit. Plan on a thicker base layer of open-graded stone under any paved or hardscaped surface.

The ground around Laplace is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A drainage layer of 3/4" or #57 crushed stone earns its place by moving that water away from foundations and footings.

Laplace gets about 75 wet days a year, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is smart. Only about 5 days a year drop below freezing, and ground freezing here is not a significant factor. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. St. John the Baptist Parish permitted about 62 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those new lots will need a proper stone base from the start.

How Much Crushed Stone You Need for Your Laplace Job

To estimate how many tons will cover your area, multiply the length by the width by the depth in feet, divide by 27 to get cubic yards, then multiply by about 1.35 tons per yard of crushed stone. Use the crushed stone calculator on our site to get a precise number before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone Delivery in Laplace

What is the smallest load of crushed stone you deliver to Laplace?

We deliver a minimum of 1 ton of crushed stone. About 66 inches of precipitation a year means even a small project benefits from a stone base that drains well.

Does the soil around Laplace change how much crushed stone I need?

Soils mapped in the Laplace area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so plan on an extra 2 to 3 inches of base stone comparted to well-drained sites. The extra depth compensates for the slower infiltration and improves long-term stability.

What size crushed stone should I choose?

For load-bearing bases like driveways and slabs, use 3/4" or #57 crushed stone. For setting beds and tight fill under pavers, use 3/8" or screenings. Larger stone works for erosion control and deep fill.

Do you deliver to rural addresses outside the city limits?

Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in St. John the Baptist Parish and surrounding areas as long as the site has a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. Enter your ZIP at checkout to confirm coverage.
