Applications
Common uses for #610 Crushed Limestone
#610 Crushed Limestone (also known as Crusher Run) creates pavement-like surfaces across Orleans Parish:
Material applications
Shed & Garage Pads
Provides a level, stable 'floor' that supports heavy structures without shifting over time.
Paver Sub-Base
The professional's secret for a patio that stays level and prevents pavers from 'dipping' or settling.
Culvert Bedding
Provides a high-strength, non-shifting surround for heavy drainage pipes in Orleans Parish projects.
Construction Entrances
Creates a 'mud-free' zone for heavy machinery to enter job sites without tracking dirt everywhere.
Pothole Repair
The ideal structural fill for failing asphalt or gravel sections that keeps coming back.
Local performance
Why #610 Crushed Limestone works here
Local conditions.
In Orleans Parish where the water table sits just feet below the surface, #610 Limestone provides the structural integrity you need without requiring deep excavation. Its self-binding properties mean the surface gets harder with each rain, not softer. This makes it ideal for driveways in flood-prone neighborhoods where materials need to survive periodic saturation.
- Drainage applications (fines block water flow)
- Decorative visible landscaping
- Areas requiring rapid drainage
- French drain backfill
Built for New Orleans
New Orleans' famous 'Gumbo Clay' swallows most materials over time. #610's unique blend of crushed stone and binding fines creates a self-compacting surface that bridges soft spots instead of sinking into them. In neighborhoods like Lakeview and Gentilly where the ground moves constantly, #610 provides the stability you need without the rigidity that causes concrete to crack.
- Residential driveways
- Shed and garage foundations
- Paver and patio sub-bases
- Construction site entrances
- Heavy equipment pads
- Permanent pothole repairs

Before you order
Check the site access.
Not every property can accommodate a standard dump truck. Here is what you should check before scheduling delivery.
Street width
Standard trucks need roughly 10 to 12 feet of clear access.
Overhead clearance
Power lines and branches must clear the raised dump bed.
Ground stability
The truck needs firm ground for entry, placement, and exit.
Dump location
Have the exact placement area ready before the truck arrives.
Material delivery notes
Calculate area at 4-6 inch depth minimum for driveways
Grade and compact subgrade before limestone delivery
Consider geotextile fabric on exceptionally soft NOLA soils
Plan for compaction in 4-inch lifts with plate compactor
Mark any utilities before equipment use
Have equipment ready for spreading and compacting
Delivery and placement
Details before the truck arrives.
Load sizes
Most bulk materials are available in loads from 4 to 20+ cubic yards. Most residential driveway jobs need 6-15 yards.
Truck types
We use standard dump trucks for open sites. Small-access trucks available for tight driveways and narrow New Orleans streets.
Placement options
Direct dump to driveway or staged placement for spreading with equipment.
Access verification
Confirm driveway width, length, and any overhead clearance issues before scheduling.

SpecificationProject note
Interlocking Gradation
1" to Fines Mix
A carefully engineered mix of 1-inch stone down to fine limestone dust creates maximum density when compacted. This gradation fills all voids, creating a near-solid surface that resists movement.
Compaction Rating
95%+ Density
With proper compaction using a plate compactor or roller, #610 achieves near-pavement density. This tight packing distributes weight evenly and prevents ruts from forming under heavy traffic.
Angular Fracture
Mechanically Crushed
Jagged, crushed edges provide 'mechanical interlock' so rocks can't roll or shift. This angular profile is essential for creating stable surfaces that stay in place under load.
DOTD Approval
Louisiana Certified
Meets Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development standards for structural road bases. You're getting the same material used in professional road construction projects.
