Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in New Ross, IN

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in New Ross, IN? Indiana Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand, soil and fill by the ton. Most jobs here start with #53 stone, the dense graded base that packs hard under a drive, a pad or a slab. This is flat glacial till ground, so the material you put down often matters more than the ground under it.

If your site sits low, you may need fill before any stone goes down. We supply both, so you can build the grade up first and cap it with base.

Materials for New Ross Projects

Most projects in New Ross follow the same order: fix the grade, then build the base. Fill comes first when a pad, a driveway or a building site sits below the surrounding ground.

Use fill dirt to raise grade, fill low spots and backfill around foundations. It goes down before any stone, and it needs to be compacted in lifts so the base above it stays flat.

Then cap it with #53 stone. This is the standard Indiana base, a dense graded stone with fines that locks together and packs hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

For a driveway surface, order driveway stone over that compacted base. If you want a tighter, smoother surface, #73 stone has a smaller top size and packs finer, which suits topping an existing drive or a shoulder.

Patios and walkways follow a different path. Bed the pavers in screenings, which level and lock the surface, and finish the joints with #89 stone.

Ground and Conditions in New Ross

New Ross sits on the Central and northeast till plain, a flat to gently rolling stretch of dense glacial till. Central Indiana clay is loamy but heavy, and it holds water. On flat ground, that water has nowhere to go.

That is why so much farmland around here relies on tile drainage, and why an under-built base fails. If you lay #53 stone straight onto saturated clay, the clay pumps and the stone sinks. Fill and a drainage layer fix it.

Late winter and spring rain is the worst stretch. Wet clay will not compact, so base and driveway work runs best from late spring, once the ground dries, through fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter months.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves and ruts gravel drives and softens the subgrade every spring. Frost depth runs about 30 inches in the Indianapolis area, where footings are set at least that deep; your local building department sets the figure for your job.

Erosion shows up along ditches and stream banks after heavy rain, and on the steeper valley walls. rip rap armors culvert outlets and ditch banks before the next storm takes more ground.
