Materials for Edwardsport Projects

Most jobs in Edwardsport start with a base. #53 stone, also called 53 stone, is the standard Indiana base: a dense graded stone with fines that packs hard under a drive, a parking pad, a shed base, or pavers and slabs. It is specified as compacted aggregate No. 53.

From there, the rest of the load depends on the job.

• #73 Stone, a finer dense graded stone with fines, for topping and resurfacing drives, parking areas and shoulders where you want a tight, smooth-packing surface.
• Driveway Gravel, which is what most suppliers here mean by driveway stone, for surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted #53 base.
• Walkway Gravel, a finer, walkable surface for paths and garden walks.
• Top Soil, screened topsoil for lawns and beds over heavy clay or thin rocky ground.

For wet ground, order clean stone instead of a material with fines. Drain Rock handles French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. RipRap, graded as revetment Class 1 and Class 2, armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and stream banks.

Ground and Conditions in Edwardsport

Edwardsport sits in the Southwest Wabash and Ohio lowlands, where flat river valleys and old lake-bed flats are built of silt and clay. Low ground like this drains slowly. When the Wabash and White rivers run high, water backs up in the bottoms and sits there.

That shapes what you order. On a wet, silty subgrade, a base of #53 stone at the right depth is what keeps a drive from rutting. Under a slab or pavers, a clean stone layer lets water move instead of pooling. Add a drainage layer before the base, not after.

Upland loess soils here often have a fragipan that holds water near the surface in wet seasons, so a drive that looks firm in August can soften in March. Winters are milder than northern Indiana but still bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives. Because the subgrade is wet and silty, it softens faster. Frost depth is shallower than up north, and the exact footing depth is set by the county or city building department.

Timing matters too. Winter and spring are the high-water months on the river bottoms. Low sites build best from late spring through fall, once water drops and the silt dries out.

Delivery to Edwardsport and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you point it. Before the drop, clear the spot: a firm, level pad with room for the truck to pull in and out, and no overhead wires or low branches in the way.

Order online by the ton or the yard. If you are unsure how much a drive needs, put the length and width into the calculator to size the load. Keep in mind that a dump truck cannot spread material for you, so plan your own equipment or order in stages.

We deliver across Edwardsport and Knox County, including Vincennes, Bicknell, Monroe City, Oaktown and Bruceville.
