At Gravel Monkey, we stock a comprehensive selection of aggregates and materials designed for the specific needs of Iberia Parish properties. Our inventory includes everything from heavy-duty driveway materials to decorative stone for gardens and patios.
Crushed Stone and Gravel Products
Crushed stone remains the foundation of most construction and improvement projects in New Iberia. Our 3/4 inch Crushed Stone provides excellent compaction and drainage, making it ideal for the moisture-heavy conditions common in South Louisiana. This versatile aggregate works perfectly for driveway bases, parking areas, and foundation support throughout neighborhoods like Dauterive, Evangeline, and the areas surrounding City Park.
For projects requiring superior interlocking capabilities, our #57 Stone delivers consistent performance. This uniformly sized aggregate compacts well while maintaining excellent drainage properties, which is critical given New Iberia's location in the Mississippi River alluvial plain where water management is paramount.
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone - Excellent for driveways, parking areas, and base material
- #57 Stone - Uniform sizing for drainage and decorative applications
- Crushed aggregates - Various sizes for specific project requirements
- Mixed aggregate blends - Custom solutions for unique needs
Driveway and Roadway Materials
New Iberia's clay-heavy soils can cause significant problems for unprepared driveways. The expansive Sharkey clay found throughout Iberia Parish swells when wet and contracts when dry, creating challenging conditions for any surface installation. Our Driveway Gravel is specifically formulated to handle these conditions, providing a stable surface that resists shifting and settling even during Louisiana's wettest months.
Properties along Highway 90 and those in rural areas around Jeanerette benefit greatly from our Road Base aggregate. This carefully blended material creates a solid foundation that withstands heavy vehicle traffic while providing the stability needed in soft Louisiana soils. For ultimate compaction and long-term durability, our Crusher Run combines various aggregate sizes with fines that lock together, creating an almost concrete-like surface when properly installed.
Drainage Solutions for South Louisiana
With annual rainfall averaging 62 inches and the region's naturally high water table, effective drainage is not optional in New Iberia. Our Drain Rock is engineered specifically for French drains, foundation drainage systems, and low areas prone to water accumulation. Properties near Bayou Teche, around Spanish Lake, and in the flood-prone areas near Avery Island particularly benefit from proper drainage aggregate installation.
The combination of flat terrain and clay soil means that water often has nowhere to go after heavy rains. Installing drain rock around foundations, in swales, and alongside driveways helps direct water away from structures and prevents the standing water that attracts mosquitoes during Louisiana's long, hot summers.
Decorative Stone and Aggregate Options
Beyond functional aggregates, we offer a beautiful selection of decorative materials perfect for enhancing New Iberia properties. The historic character of neighborhoods near Main Street and the elegance of homes along East Main deserve aggregates that complement their aesthetic appeal.
Natural Stone Options
Our River Rock brings natural beauty to any project. Available in multiple sizes, this smooth, rounded stone works wonderfully around the live oaks that grace so many New Iberia properties. Use it in garden beds, around water features, or as a border material that echoes the natural beauty of Bayou Teche and the surrounding waterways.
For walkways and garden paths, Pea Gravel offers a comfortable, attractive surface that allows rainwater to percolate naturally into the ground. This aggregate works especially well in the shaded garden areas common throughout New Iberia, where its neutral tones complement the lush subtropical vegetation.
Our Walkway Gravel provides an excellent surface for paths throughout residential and commercial properties. The Historic District, with its beautiful old homes and established gardens, showcases many properties that benefit from properly installed walkway aggregates.
Decomposed Granite
For a more formal appearance, Decomposed Granite creates elegant pathways and patios. This finely crusite material compacts into a firm surface while maintaining permeability. Properties near Shadows-on-the-Teche and throughout the older neighborhoods appreciate how decomposed granite provides a classic look that complements historic architecture.
Soil and Fill Materials for Iberia Parish Projects
Proper grading and soil preparation are essential in New Iberia's challenging terrain. The region's alluvial soils, deposited over millennia by the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers, require careful handling for successful construction and gardening projects.
Topsoil for Gardens and Lawns
Our premium Topsoil helps establish lush lawns and productive gardens throughout New Iberia. While Louisiana's native soil is naturally fertile, many properties have lost topsoil through erosion or construction disturbance. Adding quality topsoil improves drainage, provides essential nutrients, and creates the ideal growing medium for everything from St. Augustine grass to vegetable gardens.
Properties in newer developments around Loreauville Road and those built on former agricultural land often need additional topsoil to support healthy plant growth. Our topsoil works well with the warm, humid climate that allows year-round gardening in the Acadiana region.
Fill Dirt for Grading
Proper grading prevents water from pooling around foundations and keeps properties dry during Louisiana's frequent rain events. Our Fill Dirt is perfect for raising low areas, filling depressions, and creating proper slopes away from structures. Many properties near the bayou and in older areas of New Iberia require periodic regrading as the soft Louisiana soils settle over time.
Recycled Aggregate Options
For budget-conscious projects and environmentally minded property owners, our Crushed Concrete provides an excellent alternative to virgin aggregates. This recycled material works well for driveways, parking areas, and base layers. Properties throughout Delcambre, Jeanerette, and rural Iberia Parish appreciate the cost savings while still receiving a quality product.
Sand Products for New Iberia Construction
Quality sand is essential for numerous construction and improvement projects. We stock multiple sand varieties to meet the diverse needs of Iberia Parish property owners and contractors.
Our Mason Sand provides the fine, consistent texture needed for mortar mixing, paver installation, and finishing work. This clean sand helps create strong bonds in masonry projects and provides a smooth base for pavers and flagstone installations.
For families with children, Playground Sand offers a safe, clean surface for play areas. Schools, daycares, and residential properties throughout New Iberia use this specially processed sand to create inviting outdoor play spaces. Given Louisiana's year-round outdoor season, quality playground surfaces see heavy use and deserve premium materials.
General construction and fill applications benefit from our Washed Sand. This versatile product works for everything from concrete mixing to improving drainage in heavy clay soils. Adding washed sand to New Iberia's native clay helps improve percolation and reduces the waterlogging common after heavy rains.
- Mason Sand - Fine texture for mortar and paver installation
- Playground Sand - Safe, clean sand for children's play areas
- Washed Sand - Versatile option for construction and drainage improvement

Special Considerations for Iberia Parish Properties
The unique geology and climate of South Louisiana create specific challenges that influence aggregate selection. Understanding these factors helps property owners make informed decisions about their projects.
Managing Louisiana's Heavy Rainfall
New Iberia receives more rainfall than most American cities, with an average of 62 inches annually. The combination of flat terrain, clay soils, and high water tables means that effective drainage must be a priority for any property improvement. Installing drain rock around foundations, using permeable aggregates for driveways and walkways, and creating proper grading all help manage water effectively.
Dealing with Expansive Clay Soils
The Sharkey and Commerce clay soils common throughout Iberia Parish expand significantly when wet and contract when dry. This movement can damage improperly installed surfaces and create ongoing maintenance issues. Using adequate base layers of compactable aggregate like crusher run helps stabilize surfaces and prevents the shifting that plagues many South Louisiana driveways.
Hurricane and Storm Preparation
Located in hurricane-prone South Louisiana, New Iberia properties benefit from aggregate improvements that enhance drainage and reduce flood damage. Properly installed drain rock and gravel surfaces help water move away from structures quickly after major rain events. Having stable driveway and access surfaces also ensures emergency vehicle access during and after storms.
Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel Delivery in New Iberia
For New Iberia's expansive clay soils, we recommend starting with a base layer of road base or crusher run, followed by a surface layer of driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone. This combination provides stability and prevents the sinking that occurs when aggregate is placed directly on clay. The base layer should be at least 4 inches thick, with 2-3 inches of surface material.
A standard single-car driveway of 10 feet wide by 50 feet long requires approximately 6-8 tons of aggregate for a 4-inch base layer. Double that for a two-car driveway. We recommend calculating your square footage and contacting us for a precise estimate based on your specific project and the materials selected.
Yes! Our free delivery extends throughout Iberia Parish and into surrounding areas. We regularly deliver to Jeanerette, Loreauville, Delcambre, and rural properties throughout the region. We also serve customers in neighboring Lafayette Parish, St. Martin Parish, and St. Mary Parish.
Drain rock is the ideal choice for French drains in New Iberia. Its uniform size allows water to flow freely while preventing soil infiltration. For areas with particularly high water tables near Bayou Teche or Spanish Lake, we recommend at least 12 inches of drain rock surrounding your perforated pipe.
Absolutely! Crushed concrete makes an excellent and economical driveway material for New Iberia properties. It compacts well, provides good drainage, and holds up to Louisiana's climate. Many property owners throughout Iberia Parish use crushed concrete as a cost-effective alternative to virgin aggregates.
We offer prompt delivery service throughout New Iberia and Iberia Parish. Most orders can be delivered within a few business days, depending on material availability and current demand. Contact us for specific delivery timing for your project.
Pea gravel and walkway gravel work excellently for paths in New Iberia's humid climate. These smaller aggregates provide comfortable walking surfaces while allowing rainwater to drain quickly. For more formal settings, decomposed granite offers a stable surface that handles moisture well while providing an elegant appearance.
