Applications
What #57 Limestone Gets Used For
Driveway Surface
#57 limestone is the top driveway stone in Tangipahoa Parish. The 3/4 inch size compacts well, lets rain drain through, and doesn't throw rocks when you drive over it. It stays firmer than gravel.
Parking Areas
For unpaved parking on residential properties, farms, churches, or small businesses, #57 limestone is the standard. A 4-inch base compacted in place handles regular vehicle traffic without rutting. We do a lot of parking pad deliveries in Hammond and on rural properties off the parish roads.
French Drains
French drain systems need stone that water moves through fast. #57 limestone has enough void space between stones to let water flow freely. It's small enough to sit properly around perforated pipe without clogging. Most French drain installations in the parish's clay-heavy soils use this exact stone.
Backfill
Utility trenches and foundation perimeters need fill that compacts and drains. #57 limestone works as backfill where drainage matters. You won't get the settlement problems that come from filling with dirt, and water won't pond against the structure.
Base Course
Under concrete slabs, pavers, and retaining wall footings, #57 limestone builds the base layer. It compacts to a stable surface, supports the weight above it, and gives water a place to drain away from the structure.
Drainage Beds
For areas that flood repeatedly, a drainage bed of #57 limestone below the grade surface redirects water away from the problem area. This is a popular fix for backyard flooding in Hammond neighborhoods built on low ground near Tangi drainage systems.

We Deliver
Our trucks run Hammond, Ponchatoula, Amite City, and the whole parish. Most deliveries are scheduled within 1 to 2 business days. Busy season we ask for 2 to 3 days notice.
It's the best general-purpose option for driveways in Tangipahoa Parish. It compacts well, drains rain, and holds up under daily vehicle traffic. For a driveway longer than 200 feet, budget for a 4 to 6 inch base depth so you don't end up with soft spots after heavy rain.
How often do I need to add more stone?
A well-compacted #57 limestone driveway holds up for years. High-traffic areas may need a top-up every 2 to 3 years. If you get deep ruts, call us. Sometimes the fix is just adding an inch of fresh stone and running a roller over it.
What's the difference between #57 and #67 limestone?
They're close in size. #57 runs 3/4 inch. #67 runs 3/4 to 1 inch. Either one works for driveways and drainage. #57 is the more common order because contractors and homeowners have standardized on it.
Will #57 limestone work for a French drain in clay soil?
Yes. Clay soil is the main reason French drains get installed in this parish. #57 limestone provides the void space water needs to move through and away from the problem area.
Do you deliver on weekends?
Call us and we'll check the schedule. During busy season, we sometimes run Saturday deliveries. Best to call early in the week to get your slot.
