Bulk Material Delivery in Schererville, IN

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Schererville, IN, Indiana Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and hauls it to your site. The base most jobs here start with is #53 stone, a dense graded stone with fines that packs hard under drives, pads and slabs. On the flat ground around town, drainage is usually the first problem to solve.

You order online, we deliver to Schererville and the rest of Lake County.

Materials for Schererville Projects

Drainage drives most of what leaves our yard for this city. The sand and clay ground here holds water after rain and snowmelt, so washed stone and open graded sizes do the heavy lifting. Sizes below run coarsest to finest.

Drain Rock is the workhorse for French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. It is coarse enough to stay open underground so water can move instead of sitting against a footing.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone are clean, single size stone for drainage beds, drywells and concrete work. Water passes through the void space, which is what you want where the water table sits high.

#8 Stone is a smaller clean stone for tight drainage runs, underdrains and pipe bedding. It also works as a driveway topping once a compacted base is in place.

When the job needs a surface instead of a drain, start with #53 Stone for the base and top it with Driveway Gravel.

Ground and Conditions in Schererville

This corner of Northwest Indiana sits on Lake Michigan shore, Calumet and Kankakee sand country. That means a mix of sand and clay: sandy outwash plains and drained former marsh with pockets of muck, and clay loam till on the ridges between them.

The flat sand plains and the ditched former marsh sit on a high water table. Low ground stays wet well after rain and snowmelt, and the clay till ridges shed water slowly. Plan the drainage layer before you plan the surface.

Timing matters as much as material. Low, ditched ground and muck stay soft the longest after late winter and spring rain, so base and driveway work runs best from late spring through fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter.

Winters here are long and cold with repeated freeze-thaw. That heaves gravel drives on wet or clay ground and softens subgrades when the thaw comes. Frost depth is among the deepest in Indiana, and Lake County requires deck footings at least 36 inches down. Put a compacted base of #53 stone under a drive, thicker where the ground is soft, and give wet ground a drain before you build on it.

Delivery to Schererville and the Surrounding Area

Indiana Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Schererville, which sits in Lake County. We also run loads to Hammond, Gary, Merrillville, Crown Point and Hobart.

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the cubic yard. Bulk delivery drops the load where the truck can reach, so tell us about a soft shoulder, a low wire or a narrow drive when you order.

Lead time depends on the material and the season. Washed stone and base stone move fastest; soil and mulch can take longer in the busy weeks of spring and fall. Pick a delivery date at checkout that gives the ground time to firm up, especially if your site is soft enough that a loaded truck may not cross it.
