Bulk Gravel Delivery to Commiskey, IN

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Commiskey, IN online by the ton or the yard. Indiana Rock Supply drops it at your driveway, pad or job site. Start with #53 stone, the dense graded base this market runs under drives and slabs.

Ground here is silty and slow to drain on the flats. That shapes what you put down and how deep you put it.

Materials for Commiskey Projects

In Commiskey, patios and flatwork only stay level on a good bedding layer. Get that wrong and pavers rock, joints open and slabs crack within a season. #53 stone is the standard Indiana base.

Build the base from #53 Stone, then level and bed the pavers with Stone Screenings. Screenings are the fine material that lets you set a paver flat and true without it sinking under the edge.

For a concrete slab or a patio that needs drainage under it, use Washed Sand to bed and level. Around the border, 3/8" Crushed Stone handles fine drainage and topping. Wider joints get #89 Crushed Stone, a small clean stone that fills tight and stays put.

Elsewhere on the property, the same logic holds. Driveways take #53 stone for a base and #73 Stone or Driveway Gravel on top. Drain Rock and #57 Stone move water away from foundations and downspouts. Rip rap armors ditch and culvert outlets where flow scours.

Ground and Conditions in Commiskey

A thin base shows itself fast here. On slow-draining silty flats, water perches and the subgrade softens under load. Your pavers heave, your slab cracks at the corner, your drive ruts where the tires run.

Adding surface stone will not solve it; a thicker base and drainage will. Excavate far enough that the #53 stone base goes down thick, compact it in lifts, and let it shed water before it reaches the subgrade. Where ground stays wet, add a clean stone layer underneath to give water somewhere to go.

Steep ground along the Ohio River and its tributaries sheds runoff fast. Bare cuts on those shale hillsides wash out and slip. Armor them with rip rap and keep water off the face.

Winters here are milder than up north but still bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives and softens clay subgrades. Flat ground and valley lowlands stay wet through spring, so base work runs best from late spring through fall.

Delivery to Commiskey and the Surrounding Area

Choose your unit first. Order by the ton for base stone and heavier aggregate. Order by the yard for sand, soils and mulch.

Then estimate quantity. Measure length by width by depth in feet, convert depth to a fraction of a foot, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. The calculator converts that volume into tonnage for crushed limestone.

Indiana Rock Supply delivers bulk loads across Jennings County. We run to North Vernon, Scipio, Butlerville and Paris Crossing as well as Commiskey. Place the order online and we bring it to your site.

Questions Commiskey Buyers Ask

What gravel is best for a driveway in Commiskey?

Use #53 stone for the base and #73 stone or driveway gravel for the surface. #53 stone is the dense graded Indiana base that packs hard and carries load. #73 stone is finer and gives a tighter, smoother top. On a long drive, top with #8 stone for clean drainage and a crisp finish.

How much material will my project need?

Measure the area in feet and set your depth. Enter the pad's length, width and depth in the calculator to get the cubic yards. The calculator also turns that volume into tons of base stone. Add a little for compaction and spill. The calculator on each product page does the math for you.
