Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Memphis, IN

Indiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Memphis, IN, and the calendar decides most of the schedule here. Flat, slow-draining ground through Clark County stays wet through winter and spring, so grading and base work run best from late spring through fall. Plan your #53 stone and soil orders for that window and the site stays workable.

Materials for Memphis Projects

Soil and fill come first on many Memphis jobs, because grading and bed prep start the work. If you are raising a low spot or building up a lawn over heavy ground, the soil comes first and the stone goes on top of it.

Top Soil is screened topsoil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay or thin rocky ground. Garden Soil is blended for raised beds and planting areas. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots before a #53 base goes down.

Once grade is set, build the base. #53 Stone is the standard Indiana base, a dense graded stone with fines that packs hard under drives, parking pads and shed bases. For a tighter, smoother surface, #73 Stone tops and resurfaces drives and shoulders.

Sand and decorative material finish the job. Mason Sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs. River Rock and Large River Rock cover decorative beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Memphis

Start with where the water goes. Rain and snowmelt perch on the silty flats and sit in the broad valley lowlands, because much of this ground carries a dense fragipan that stops water from draining down. That is the single biggest reason a drive or pad fails here.

Build for it. Excavate below the soft layer, put down a separation layer of Drain Rock or #57 Stone, then compact your #53 Stone base in lifts. On flat fragipan ground, a drainage layer does more for base depth than extra stone.

Freeze-thaw is milder than in northern Indiana but still heaves gravel drives and softens clay subgrades. The exact footing depth is set by the county or city building department, so confirm it there rather than assuming a northern figure.

Steep shale hillsides along the Ohio River and its tributaries are prone to slips and washouts. On those slopes, arm the bare cuts with RipRap and keep runoff in a defined channel instead of letting it sheet across the face.

Delivery to Memphis and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives on a dump truck or a walking-floor trailer and is tipped where you want it. Have the drop spot cleared and marked, with a clear path for the truck and overhead lines checked. Soft ground after a wet spring can limit where a loaded truck can go, so pick a firm, dry spot near the work.

Order online and size the load by the ton or the yard using the calculator, then confirm the material and the quantity. Memphis sits in Clark County, and deliveries cover the surrounding area including Jeffersonville, Clarksville, Sellersburg, Charlestown and Henryville.
