Buy #73 Stone in Lafayette, IN

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Lafayette, IN without leaving the job. Indiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard and drops it where you need it. Start with #53 stone, the dense graded base this market builds on. It packs hard over the clay ground across Tippecanoe County.

Pick your material, set the quantity, and schedule the drop. That is the whole process.

Materials for Lafayette Projects

Drives and pads start with base. Lay #53 Stone first, compact it, then dress the surface with the stone that suits the traffic. #53 stone is a dense graded crushed limestone with fines.

For a finer, smoother surface, top the base with #73 Stone. It has a smaller top size than #53 and packs to a tight finish. Use it to resurface an existing drive or smooth a parking area. Most Lafayette drives come down to those two.

Then choose by use:

• Driveway Gravel resurfaces a worn drive or tops a compacted #53 base.
• #8 Stone is clean single-size stone for drainage, underdrains and pipe bedding, and a common Indiana driveway topping.
• Drain Rock handles French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs.
• Walkway Gravel gives paths and garden walks a finer, walkable surface.
• Stone Screenings bed and level pavers and flagstone under patios.

Sand and soil round out the load. Mason Sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints. Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over heavy clay. River Rock and Large River Rock finish beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Lafayette

Water drives every base decision here. Late winter and spring rain falls on flat, poorly drained glacial till. The ground has no easy outlet, so water sits. That is why so much farmland around Lafayette runs on tile drainage.

Build for that. Excavate deep enough to get below the soft zone, then bring in #53 stone in lifts and compact each one. A thick base over wet clay pumps and ruts, so depth matters more than the surface stone you pick.

Drain the edges. A drain rock layer or a French drain at the low side gives trapped water somewhere to go. On flat ground, water that cannot leave will find the base.

Freeze-thaw works the same ground all winter. Cold snaps and repeated thaws heave and rut gravel drives on wet clay. Frost depth runs about 30 inches in the Indianapolis area, where the City of Lawrence requires footings at least 30 inches down. Deeper local requirements are possible toward the north. Your local building department sets the figure, so confirm it before you pour.

Timing is not optional. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring, once saturated clay dries out, through fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter months. Stone placed on frozen subgrade will move when it thaws.

Delivery to Lafayette and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives in a dump truck and is tipped, not bagged. That means the drop spot matters as much as the order.

Have the area ready before the truck rolls. Pick a spot on firm, dry ground with room for the truck to pull in and out. Mark anything the stone should not cover: sprinkler heads, drain grates, edging, fresh concrete.

Tell us where you want the pile. A driver can tailgate the load across a drive or drop it in one heap, and spreading as it tips saves you a day with a shovel.

Order by the ton or the yard and we deliver. Lafayette sits in Tippecanoe County, and we cover the rest of the county too, including West Lafayette, Battle Ground, Clarks Hill, Romney and West Point. Measure the pad or drive and use the calculator to size the load.
