Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Petersburg, IN

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Petersburg, IN online. Pick your material, size the load by the ton or the yard, and Indiana Rock Supply drops it at your site. Start with #53 stone for a base, then top it with what the job needs.

This is river-bottom country. Silt and clay flats drain slowly, so grading and soil work here start with what is under the surface.

Materials for Petersburg Projects

Most jobs here start with dirt, not stone. Raise the grade first, then build on it. Fill and soil decide whether the rest of the work holds.

• Fill Dirt: raising grade, filling low spots and backfill before a #53 base goes down.
• Top Soil: screened topsoil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay or thin rocky ground.
• Garden Soil: raised beds and planting areas that need loose, workable ground.
• #53 Stone: the standard Indiana base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases.
• Stone Screenings: paver and flagstone bedding under patios and walkways.

Matching material to the job

On a new drive, lay #53 stone first and compact it hard. Top with Driveway Gravel or #73 stone for a smooth, tight surface. For a walkway, Walkway Gravel packs finer underfoot. Around the house, Drain Rock and #57 Stone move water away from the foundation.

Ground and Conditions in Petersburg

Water drives everything here. Rain and spring snowmelt run off slow on the valley flats, and upland silt holds water near the surface in wet seasons. Plan the drainage before you plan the stone.

Bare silt washes away fast once the cover is stripped. Seed or mulch exposed ground before the next storm. On river and ditch banks, use RipRap to armor the edge against high water.

Winters are milder than up north, but freeze-thaw still heaves gravel drives and softens wet subgrades. Dig the base deep enough that a thaw does not pump soft ground up through the stone. Set footing depth with the county or city building department.

Low sites build best from late spring through fall. Wait for the water to drop and the silt to dry. Building on wet ground only leads to a base that has to be redone.

Questions from Petersburg Buyers

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

Yes. Order by the ton or by the cubic yard, whichever you find easier to figure. The calculator on each product page converts your area and depth into a quantity, so you can size a load before you order. Bulk material then arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you want it.

What stone should I use for drainage in Petersburg?

Use clean, single-size stone so water moves through the voids. #57 stone and #8 Stone are the usual picks for French drains, downspout runs and pipe bedding, with Drain Rock for wet spots on flat ground. Avoid dense graded stone with fines in a drainage trench, because the fines pack tight and slow the flow.
