Daviess County, IN Gravel and Landscape Rock Delivery
Indiana Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Daviess County, IN. Most jobs here start with #53 stone, the dense graded base that packs hard under drives, pads and slabs. 53. Under it, the ground is often thick wind-blown silt over clay, which stays soft in wet seasons and needs a real base.
Materials Delivered in Daviess County
Order by project type. The list below covers what most Daviess County jobs call for, named the way local suppliers say it.
#53 stone carries the most weight here. It goes down first, gets compacted, and holds the load. Order it for a new drive, a parking pad, a shed base, or the layer under pavers and a slab. Where you want a tighter surface on top, cap it with #73 stone or driveway stone.
Ground Conditions Across Daviess County
Daviess County sits in the Southwest Wabash and Ohio lowlands. The ground runs to broad flat river valleys, old lake-bed flats of silt and clay, low loess-covered hills, and sandy ridges beside the Wabash and White rivers. The thickest wind-blown silt in Indiana lies in these counties.
That silt matters. Bare loess washes away fast once its cover is stripped, and river and ditch banks cut during floods. Low valley bottoms and lake-bed flats drain slowly and flood when the rivers run high. Many upland loess soils also hold a fragipan that keeps water near the surface in wet seasons.
Plan for it. Excavate soft silt out of the base, use a drainage layer where water sits, and compact #53 stone in lifts. Low sites build best from late spring through fall, once water drops and the silt dries out. Winters are milder than northern Indiana but still bring freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives and softens wet subgrades.

Order online and pick your quantity. Bulk material is sold by the ton, and the product page shows what a load covers at your depth. Measure the area, decide the depth, and the tonnage follows. A driveway base usually wants a solid compacted thickness built up in lifts.
Delivery covers Washington, Odon, Montgomery, Elnora, Plainville and Cannelburg and the surrounding ground. Have the drop spot clear, firm and reachable by a loaded truck, and mark any septic lids, water lines or sprinkler heads before the truck arrives.
Choosing the Right Material
Ground next door changes the answer. Knox County shares this county's lowland zone, so the ground is similar and the comparison is really about projects: flat fields and river bottoms that need drainage stone and a compacted base.
Martin County is different. It is mostly unglaciated hill country, with thin silty soils over sandstone and shale on steep ridges, and red-brown clay over limestone on the karst plain. Sinkholes and sinking streams are common there. On that ground, drainage and slope protection matter more than base depth.
Greene County spans both zones, so a job there can need either approach. In Daviess County, start with #53 stone and add clean stone only where water needs a path out.
