Bulk Material Delivery in Leo, IN

Indiana Rock Supply provides gravel and aggregate delivery in Leo, IN. The base material most local jobs start with is #53 stone, a dense graded crushed limestone with fines that packs hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Around here that matters, because the ground in this part of Allen County is heavy clay that holds water and ruts badly in a wet spring.

Drainage is the job that decides how long a driveway or patio lasts on local clay. Water that sits on flat ground has nowhere to go, so the fix is washed stone and a place to send the water.

For French drains, downspout runs and drywells, Drain Rock is the workhorse. It is washed, so it drains instead of trapping silt, and it moves roof water away from a foundation before it soaks into the clay.

For pipe bedding and underdrains, #57 Stone and #8 Stone are both clean single-size stone with no fines. #57 stone also works as concrete aggregate, and #8 stone is a common driveway topping in Indiana. 3/4" Crushed Stone handles construction entrances and drainage beds where you want open voids for water to move through quickly.

For the base itself, #53 stone and #73 Stone go down compacted. Use #53 under pavers and slabs, then #73 or Driveway Gravel to top and smooth the surface.

For the surface layer, Walkway Gravel packs tight enough to walk on, and Stone Screenings bed and level pavers and flagstone under patios. Top Soil and Shredded Mulch finish the beds once the hard work is done.

Ground and Conditions in Leo

Base work here runs best from late spring through fall, once the saturated clay dries out. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter months, so a delivery timed for a thaw is a delivery wasted.

This is till plain ground, flat to gently rolling, with heavier clay toward the northeast and on the old lake plain. Late winter and spring rain has no easy outlet on that ground, which is why so much local farmland needs tile drainage. The same problem shows up in residential yards.

Build with that in mind. Get a compacted #53 base down at the right depth, and give water a clean stone path out before it ever reaches the base. Cold winters and repeated freeze-thaw heave and rut gravel drives on wet clay and soften the subgrade every spring, so drainage is not an extra step here. It is the first one.
