Materials for Modoc Projects

Most landscaping jobs here come down to two things: what covers the ground, and what moves water off it. Pick the stone by the project, not by the picture.

Beds and borders

Use River Rock for decorative beds and borders. It sheds water, holds its color, and never needs edging fabric to look finished. For heavier work, Large River Rock builds dry creek beds that carry runoff and hide the trench.

Walkways and play areas

Lay 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel for paths, play areas and ground cover. It is rounded and easy underfoot. Set it over a compacted #53 stone base so it stops sinking into the clay.

Patios and pavers

Bed pavers and flagstone on Stone Screenings. They level tight and lock the units in place. Put #53 Stone underneath first as a solid compacted base.

Drains and wet spots

Run Drain Rock through French drains, downspout runs and low ground. For a tighter drainage bed, #8 Stone works as clean single-size stone.

Ground and Conditions in Modoc

This is Central and northeast till plain country. Dense glacial till sits under a thin loamy clay layer, and water moves through it slowly. Build for that and your project lasts. Skip it and the base pumps, ruts and sinks the first wet spring.

Excavate to solid, unyielding ground before you place any base. Compact #53 stone in thin lifts rather than all at once. A dense graded stone with fines packs hard once the moisture is right. Then top it with the material the surface calls for.

Late winter and spring rain on flat, poorly drained till is why so much farmland here relies on tile drainage. The same water finds your driveway, your patio edge and your low spots. Ditch and stream bank scour after heavy rain is common on the flat ground, and steeper valley walls slump and wash.

Time the work. Base and driveway jobs run best from late spring, once saturated clay dries, through fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves and ruts gravel drives on wet clay and softens the subgrade every spring. Frost depth runs about 30 inches in the Indianapolis area, with deeper local requirements possible toward the north, and the local building department sets the figure for footings.

Delivery to Modoc and the Surrounding Area

Order online. Choose your material, enter the tonnage or yardage, and set the delivery address. We drop bulk loads at the edge of the work or wherever the truck can safely reach.

Estimate quantity by the ton for compacted base and by the yard for soil, sand and mulch. Measure the area, multiply by the depth you need, then convert. A short list helps:

• Square feet times depth in feet gives cubic feet.
• Divide cubic feet by 27 for cubic yards.
• Multiply cubic yards by about 1.4 for tons of crushed stone.

Modoc sits in Randolph County. We also deliver to Winchester, Union City, Farmland, Parker City and Lynn. If your site is on a soft field edge, tell us at checkout so the driver knows what he is backing onto.

Questions About Ordering in Modoc

How much material will my project need?

Measure the length and width of the area, then decide the depth. A driveway base needs a thicker compacted layer than a bed. Beds and ground cover take less. Multiply the area by the depth to get cubic feet, divide by 27 for cubic yards, and convert to tons for crushed stone. When you are unsure, round up.

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

Yes. Order by the ton for #53 stone, #73 stone, clean stone and rip rap, or by the yard for sand, topsoil and mulch. Enter the amount online and choose delivery to your Modoc address. Bulk loads arrive by dump truck, so give the driver clear access and a firm spot to set the pile.
