Applications
What Crushed Limestone Gets Used For
Driveway Construction
Crushed limestone is the standard driveway material across Tangipahoa Parish. It compacts into a firm surface. It drains well so you don't get standing water after rain. Most residential driveways take 2 to 4 tons depending on length and width. We'll help you figure out the right amount before delivery.
Parking Lot Base
Commercial lots need a solid base before asphalt or concrete goes down. Crushed limestone is the go-to base layer. It compacts tight, handles heavy equipment, and stays stable under load. Contractors around Hammond use it on every commercial site prep job.
French Drain Fill
French drains need stone that lets water move through fast. Crushed limestone does that. It breaks up Louisiana's heavy clay soils and gives the water a path to flow. We see this used a lot on properties along the I-55 corridor where drainage is a constant problem.
Building Pad Base
Sheds, shops, and outbuildings need a compacted base. Crushed limestone builds that pad. It's heavy enough to stay put, compacts with a plate compactor or roller, and gives you a level surface before you pour concrete or lay blocks.
Backfill Material
When you dig a trench or excavate around a foundation, you need fill that compacts and drains. Crushed limestone works well for backfill situations where you need stability and drainage in the same material. It won't wash out in heavy rain the way dirt does.
Landscape Borders
Some homeowners use crushed limestone to border garden beds, tree rings, or pathway edges. It stays in place, looks clean, and doesn't float around in a heavy downpour the way lighter mulch does. Good option if you want definition without a lot of maintenance.

What's the difference between crushed limestone and gravel?
Limestone is a specific rock type. Crushed limestone has angular edges from the crushing process, which helps it lock together and compact. Gravel is typically rounded from natural weathering and doesn't compact as firmly. For base layers and driveways in Tangipahoa Parish, crushed limestone outperforms most gravel options.
How deep should I put crushed limestone on a driveway?
For a new driveway, 4 to 6 inches gives you a solid base. If you're topping an existing driveway that's getting thin in spots, 2 to 3 inches is usually enough. I'd go 6 inches on anything that sees truck traffic regularly.
Can I order just one ton?
Yes. Our minimum order is 1 ton. Most homeowners order 2 to 5 tons for driveway projects. Contractors typically order by the truckload. Whatever your job calls for, we can fill it.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders are scheduled within 1 to 2 business days. Spring is our busiest season. If you're planning a project for March through May, call a few days ahead to lock in your spot.
Does crushed limestone work in wet areas?
It drains well, so it handles rain better than packed dirt or clay. That said, constantly saturated areas may need a drainage solution first. If you've got standing water after every rain, call us and we'll talk through the right fix for your property.
