Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Dupont, IN

Indiana Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Dupont, IN to driveways, beds and building sites. Start with #53 stone, the dense graded base Indiana crews use under drives, pads and slabs. Around here the ground is silty and slow to drain, so a base that packs hard matters more than it does on sand.

We also stock the decorative and landscape material this part of Jefferson County asks for: river rock, large river rock and Natural Pea Gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Materials for Dupont Projects

Most of the work we see in Dupont is landscape and yard work. Decorative rock sets the look of a bed, and the right sizes keep it looking that way after a wet spring.

River Rock covers beds, borders and dry creek beds. The rounded stone spreads well and does not cut bare feet, which is why it turns up around patios and walkways.

Large River Rock handles dry creek beds and heavier erosion work. If water crosses your yard, line the channel with the big stone and let the small stone catch the edges.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel works for walkways, play areas and light drainage. It is rounded and mostly uncrushed, so it stays comfortable underfoot.

Ground cover needs a base under it or it disappears into the soil. Put down Stone Screenings first to level and lock the bed, then top with decorative rock.

For drives and pads, #53 Stone is still the answer. It is dense graded with fines. It packs hard and stays put.

Ground and Conditions in Dupont

Dupont sits in the Southeast flats, lowlands and Ohio River hills ground zone. The till here was glaciated long before the north, so it is older, thinner and more weathered. Flats and valley lowlands carry silty soil that drains slowly.

Much of that ground has a dense fragipan under it. Water perches on top instead of soaking away, and it sits in the lowlands through wet winters and springs. A shallow base on that ground pumps, ruts and loses its shape.

Wet fragipan flats in Jefferson County need both depth and drainage. Dig out the soft layer, put down a thick layer of #53 stone, and compact it in lifts. On a wet flat, add a drainage layer of Drain Rock or #57 Stone so water has somewhere to go.

Winters are milder than northern Indiana, but repeated freeze-thaw still heaves gravel drives and softens clay subgrades. Frost depth is shallower than in the north, and the exact footing depth is set by the county or city building department. Do not assume a northern figure.

Timing matters. Flat fragipan ground and valley lowlands stay wet through winter and spring, so base work runs best from late spring through fall. Low ground along the Ohio River can flood in the wet season.

Questions Dupont Buyers Ask

How much material will my project need?

Multiply length by width to get square feet, then multiply by your depth in feet to get cubic feet. Enter that in the calculator to get cubic yards or tons of stone. A drive with a thick #53 stone base takes a sizable load, so size it with the calculator. Add a little extra for compaction.

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

Yes. Stone, sand and soil are sold by the ton or the cubic yard, and you can order either way. Give us the tonnage or the yardage you calculated and a delivery spot in Dupont. Bulk loads arrive by truck and drop at the address you choose.
