Buy Crushed Gravel in New Iberia, Louisiana

Choosing the right crushed gravel size for a project in New Iberia comes down to what the ground does after it rains. New Iberia gets about 66 inches of precipitation a year, which makes drainage and washout planning part of every job.

A larger stone holds a driveway in place through wet weather, while a finer grade packs into a firm base for a shed or patio. The size you pick changes how the layer behaves under load and how it sheds water.

Crushed Gravel Sizes for New Iberia Projects

The workhorse size for most New Iberia jobs is 3/4" Crushed Gravel. It works well under cars, on farm roads, and as a base layer. The other sizes fill specific roles when the subgrade is soft, the load is heavy, or the soil stays wet.

How New Iberia's Weather and Soil Affect Your Crushed Gravel Job

About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain in New Iberia. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground keeps the truck from rutting the site and gives the stone a solid surface to lock into.

Around 14 days a year drop below 32 degrees. Each freeze-thaw cycle shifts the ground slightly, and an unstable base can heave or settle unevenly. A well-compacted crushed gravel layer resists that movement.

Soils mapped in the New Iberia area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means more base stone under the surface layer is often needed to keep water from ponding under the gravel. The ground around New Iberia is in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer earns its place to move that water away from the wearing course. Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in New Iberia

Does the soil around New Iberia change how much crushed gravel I need?

Yes. Ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base depth is driven more by drainage than by frost protection. The poorly drained soils common in the New Iberia area often require extra base stone to keep water from weakening the subgrade. A deeper crushed gravel layer compensates for that slow water movement.

What is the smallest load of crushed gravel you deliver to New Iberia?

The smallest load is one ton. Iberia Parish permitted about 99 single-family homes in 2024, and many of those new driveways and pads need only one or two tons of crushed gravel. A one-ton load fits in most residential sites and covers roughly 40 square feet at 2 inches deep.

Do you deliver to a job site with no one on it?

No. Someone must be at the site during the scheduled delivery window. That person directs the driver to the dump spot and approves the photo of the load. If no one is there, a missed delivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

The sizes differ by the diameter of the individual stones. 3/8" crushed gravel is the finest and packs tight for a smooth surface. 3/4" is the all-round size for drives and bases. 1" to 1 1/2" handles heavy loads, 1 1/2" bridges soft ground, and 2" to 3" controls mud and fills deep ruts. Each size is crushed and angular, so they lock together when compacted.
