How much material will my project need?

Multiply the length by the width of the area, then by the depth you want, all in feet. Divide that total by 27 to get cubic yards. A driveway base needs a good compacted layer of #53 stone, while a decorative bed of river rock can go on much thinner. Enter those measurements in the calculator to get the tonnage before you check out.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Borden?

Yes. Bulk stone, sand, soil and mulch are sold by the ton or by the cubic yard, and you can order either way for delivery in Borden. Weight is the usual figure for stone and sand, while soil, mulch and decorative rock are often easier to plan by volume. Pick the unit that matches how you measured.

Where will the material be placed?

Wherever you tell us, as long as the truck can safely reach it. Mark the spot before the delivery and someone should be on site to point the driver to it. If nobody can be there, leave clear instructions when you order and we will follow them.

Shredded Mulch and Washed Stone in Borden, IN

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Borden, IN, Indiana Rock Supply stocks the material local crews ask for by name. #53 stone is the standard Indiana base, a dense graded stone with fines that packs hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. This is hill country, so thin silty soils over rock sit close to the surface on many lots, and the base you build has to make up the difference.

Materials for Borden Projects

Most jobs here split into two groups: base stone and landscape rock. Yards, beds and dry creek beds take decorative material that looks finished and still moves water. Here is what to order for each part of a project.

Driveways and parking

Start with #53 stone for the base. It compacts tight and carries a loaded truck. Top it with #73 Stone, the finer dense graded stone that packs smooth and leaves a tighter surface on a drive or shoulder. Many buyers top with Driveway Gravel instead when they want a fresh wearing course over an existing base.

Drainage and wet ground

Water moves fast on steep ground, so plan for it. Use Drain Rock in French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. #8 Stone is clean single-size stone that suits underdrains and pipe bedding, and it is a common Indiana driveway topping. #57 Stone handles drainage and concrete work.

Decorative rock, beds and dry creek beds

This is where a lot of Borden projects live. River Rock fills decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock takes the heavier work in a creek bed and helps hold soil on a slope. Use 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for walkways and play areas, and Shredded Mulch in beds and tree rings to hold moisture through hot, humid summers.

Patios, walkways and planting

Under pavers and flagstone, Stone Screenings bed and level the surface. Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish. For lawn and bed prep over heavy clay or thin rocky ground, Top Soil rebuilds the growing layer, and Garden Soil fills raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Borden

Borden sits in the south-central hills and karst country, in Clark County. That means mostly unglaciated hill ground: thin, silty soils over sandstone, siltstone and shale on the ridges, and red-brown clay over limestone on the karst plain, where sinkholes, caves and sinking streams are common.

Two things follow for anyone building here. First, an under-built base fails fast. On silty ridgetop ground with a dense layer that holds water near the surface, a shallow base ruts and pumps. Dig out the soft material and build the #53 stone base in lifts, compacting each one. Second, watch where runoff goes. Rain runs off steep slopes fast and collects in narrow valleys, and on the karst plain water drains into sinkholes. Runoff aimed at a sinkhole can wash out fill or open a collapse, so keep fill and loose soil away from one.

Bare steep slopes gully quickly, and water funneled into a sinkhole can carry soil and fill underground. Rip rap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and stream banks against that. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring through fall. In wet winter and spring weather, clay turns slick and steep, and unpaved drives rut and wash out. Winters are milder than northern Indiana but still bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives and softens clay subgrades.

Delivery to Borden and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material and quantity. Bulk material is sold by the ton or by the cubic yard, and most homeowners find the yard figure easier to picture. Measure the area, decide how deep the layer should be, and convert that to yards or tons before you order. A short note on the project helps us match the right stone.

Delivery covers Borden and the rest of Clark County, including Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Sellersburg, Charlestown and Henryville. Bulk loads are dumped where the truck can reach. On a tight or steep drive, tell us where you want the pile so it lands close to the work and does not block the lane.
