Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Indianapolis, IN

If you are grading a yard, building raised beds, or setting a driveway base, you can order gravel and aggregate delivery in Indianapolis, IN online and pick the delivery date at checkout. Indiana Rock Supply stocks #53 stone, fill dirt, screened topsoil, and the sand your project calls for. Central Indiana sits on dense glacial till, so most jobs here start with a grade correction before any stone goes down.

Materials for Indianapolis Projects

Most work in Marion County starts below grade. The soil package is what levels a lot, feeds a lawn, and holds a patio base square, so it pays to order soil and stone together.

Soil, Fill and Bedding

• Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low spots, and backfills before a #53 base goes down.
• Top Soil is screened topsoil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay or thin rocky ground.
• Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas.
• Mason Sand beds brick and block and sweeps into paver joints.
• Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through hot, humid summers.

Base and Driveway Stone

Set your grade with fill, then bring in #53 Stone as the compacted base. Indiana crews call it 53 stone. It packs hard under pavers, slabs, and shed floors. Top a worn drive with #73 Stone or Driveway Gravel for a tighter surface.

Drainage and Decorative Stone

For wet ground, Drain Rock handles French drains, downspout runs, and flat spots where water has nowhere to go. #8 Stone works as clean drainage stone and a common driveway topping. River Rock and Large River Rock finish dry creek beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Indianapolis

Late winter and spring rain falls on flat, poorly drained till, and the water has no easy outlet. That is why a driveway in Marion County needs a drainage layer under it, not just stone on top, so the water has somewhere to go.

Dig a base deep enough to shed that water. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves and ruts gravel drives on wet clay and softens the subgrade every spring.

Timing matters as much as material. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring, once saturated clay dries out, through fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter months, so plan around it.

Questions Indianapolis Buyers Ask

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

Yes. Order online and set your quantity by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever you measure in. The site calculator converts between them using the material's weight, so a soil order and a stone order size correctly. Bulk loads deliver across Indianapolis and Marion County, and you can mix soil, sand, and stone on one order.

What stone should I use for drainage in Indianapolis?

Use clean, single-size stone so water moves through the voids. #8 stone, #57 stone, and drain rock all work for French drains, downspout runs, and foundation drains. On flat, poorly drained till, wrap the trench in filter fabric so clay fines do not clog the stone, and daylight the outlet before you backfill.
