Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in New Albany, IN

Start with the numbers before you order gravel and aggregate delivery in New Albany, IN. Figure your square footage, pick a depth, and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Indiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and the yard, and a phone call or an online order gets #53 stone, fill dirt and sand headed your way.

On the karst plain around the Ohio River terraces, red-brown clay over limestone means the grade you build on is rarely flat. That is why most jobs here start with fill and sub-base before a single load of driveway stone shows up.

Delivery to New Albany and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity the same way a yard hand would. Measure the pad, drive or bed, set your depth, and convert to tons or yards. Bulk loads come by truck, so tell us where the pile can sit without blocking a drive or a neighbor.

We deliver across Floyd County and to Georgetown, Greenville and Floyds Knobs. Steep ridge roads and narrow valley lanes change how a truck has to approach a site, so note gate width and overhead lines when you order. Spread the material as soon as it lands; wet clay subgrade and a fresh pile do not mix well.

Materials for New Albany Projects

Most jobs in the hills start with grade, not surface. On steep lots you raise pads, fill low spots and build a sub-base before anything visible goes down. Fill dirt does that heavy lifting, then a dense graded base takes the load on top.

For a building pad or a raised drive, bring in Fill Dirt to build the grade, compact it in lifts, then cap it with #53 Stone. That is the local base material. It packs hard and carries the load.

Resurfacing an existing drive usually means #73 Stone, a finer dense graded stone that tightens the surface. Where water needs to move instead of sit, use Drain Rock in a French drain or downspout run.

Under pavers, the base does the work. Order Stone Screenings for bedding and leveling, and set them on a compacted base that will not pump when the clay underneath stays wet.

Ground and Conditions in New Albany

This is unglaciated hill country. Thin silty soils sit over sandstone, siltstone and shale on the ridges, and red-brown clay sits over limestone on the karst plain. Sinkholes, caves and sinking streams are part of the ground here.

Rain runs off steep slopes fast and collects in narrow valleys. Many ridgetop silty soils have a dense fragipan that holds water near the surface, so an under-built base stays soft long after the rain stops. Build the base thicker and compact it in lifts.

On the karst plain, water drains into sinkholes. Never aim runoff at one: it can wash out fill or open a collapse. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring through fall. In wet winter and spring weather, clay turns slick and steep, and unpaved drives rut and wash out.

Winters are milder than in northern Indiana but still bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives and softens clay subgrades. Frost depth is shallower than in northern Indiana, and the exact footing depth is set by the county or city building department. Do not assume a northern figure.
