Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Poseyville, IN

What holds a slope, a ditch bank or a wet corner of your lot together? Coarse, clean stone that lets water move without carrying soil with it. Indiana Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Poseyville, IN, and the material most jobs here start with is #53 stone, the dense graded base that packs hard once it is compacted.

If you are working a bank or a swale, you are usually after the coarser end of the yard: rip rap, #4 stone and large river rock. The list below runs from biggest to smallest so you can match the stone to the job.

Materials for Poseyville Projects

Water is the thing that decides most orders around here. Start with the heaviest stone where the flow is strongest, then work down in size as the job gets finer.

• RipRap is the first choice for stream bank, ditch and culvert outlet protection. Class 1 and Class 2 grades are how revetment riprap is specified locally, and the coarse sizes lock together and stay put when a channel runs high.
• #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances. It is a good pick for swale bottoms and for the toe of a slope where you need weight rather than a smooth surface.
• Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and heavier decorative and erosion work. It slows runoff in a swale and looks intentional at the same time.
• #57 Stone is the workhorse for French drains and foundation drains, and it is a common concrete aggregate. Use it where water needs to pass through freely.
• #53 Stone is the standard Indiana base for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. It also caps a compacted fill area before anything else goes on top.

For a tighter finish, #73 Stone tops drives, shoulders and parking areas. #8 Stone is clean single size stone for underdrains and pipe bedding, and it is a common driveway topping in Indiana.

Ground and Conditions in Poseyville

Poseyville sits in the Southwest Wabash and Ohio lowlands, where broad flat valley ground and old lake-bed flats of silt and clay drain slowly. Low bottoms flood when the Wabash, White, Patoka or Ohio rivers and their tributaries run high, so plan your work around the water.

Winter and spring are the high-water months on the bottoms. Low sites build best from late spring through fall, once water drops and the silt dries out enough to compact. Ordering during that window also means a truck can reach the spot without rutting your access.

Bare loess washes away quickly once its cover is stripped, and river and ditch banks cut during floods. That is why erosion work here starts with coarse stone rather than soil. In places, old underground coal mines can also cause the ground to settle, so check what is under a pad before you pour.

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

Delivery to Poseyville and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material by the ton or the yard. Coverage is the number that matters: a ton of coarse stone spreads a smaller area than a ton of sand, so measure your drive, pad or bank and we can help you match the figure to the job.

Bulk delivery drops straight to your site, whether that is a driveway, a field entrance or a bank you are armoring. Lead time depends on the material and the season, so it pays to plan around the working window rather than the day you need it.

We deliver in Posey County and the surrounding area, including Mount Vernon, New Harmony, Cynthiana, Griffin and Wadesville.

Questions Poseyville Buyers Ask

What stone should I use for drainage in Poseyville?

For a French drain, foundation drain or downspout run, #57 stone or drain rock lets water pass freely. For tight bedding and pipe work, #8 stone is a clean single size that will not clog. On a flat, slow-draining lot, line the trench with the coarse stone and keep fines out, because silt and clay are what choke a drain in this part of the state.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, firm path to the drop spot and enough room to spread the pile without blocking your own way out. If the ground is soft from a wet season, pick a higher, drier spot. Know which material goes where so the driver can place each load, and keep children and pets clear while the bed is raised.
