Plan gravel and aggregate delivery in Sulphur, IN around the working season. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring through fall. Wet winter and spring weather turns clay slick and ruts unpaved drives. Indiana Rock Supply delivers #53 stone, soil and sand here in Crawford County.

Materials for Sulphur Projects

Most jobs in this county start with grade and end with plants, so soil and fill do the heavy lifting. The rest is base, stone and sand around them. Here is what we bring out most.

Soil, Fill and Bed Prep

Thin, silty ground over sandstone and shale leaves little to plant in. Screened topsoil rebuilds a lawn or bed after grading. Spread it in an even layer and work it into the surface so roots hold.

For raised beds and planting areas, garden soil holds moisture better through a hot, humid summer. If you need to raise grade or fill a low spot before anything else goes down, fill dirt does that job. Compact it in lifts, then cap it with topsoil.

Beds and tree rings stay wetter with shredded mulch over the soil. A shallow layer is enough.

Base and Driveway Stone

#53 stone is the standard Indiana base, a dense graded stone with fines that packs hard. Use it under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and pavers, compacted in lifts.

#73 stone is finer with a smaller top size. It makes a tighter surface for topping a drive or a shoulder.

Drives in this county usually get driveway stone on top of compacted #53. A clean single-size option like #8 stone also works as a topping and drains well.

Drainage Stone

On the karst plain, water disappears into sinkholes, so drainage has to be planned, not just aimed downhill. drain rock handles French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs where flat ground has nowhere to send water. #57 stone suits drainage beds and concrete aggregate, and rip rap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and stream banks against fast runoff.

Sand and Decorative Stone

mason sand beds brick, block and paver joints, while washed sand levels and beds under slabs. river rock covers decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Sulphur

Start with where the rain goes. This is unglaciated hill country. 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 a base laid on that ground stays soft underneath.

On the karst plain, water drains into sinkholes. Runoff aimed at a sinkhole can wash out fill or open a collapse, so keep concentrated flow away from them and use rip rap at outlets.

Bare steep slopes gully quickly, and shale-rich slopes in the Crawford Upland are prone to landslides. Water funnelled into sinkholes carries soil and fill underground. Grade a slope, seed or armor it, and get water into a defined path.

For a base, that means compacted #53 stone at the depth the project needs, on ground that drains. Clay over limestone turns slick when wet. In winter, repeated freeze-thaw heaves gravel drives and softens clay subgrades. Frost depth here is shallower than in northern Indiana, but the exact footing depth is set by the county or city building department, so do not assume a northern figure.

Have the spot ready. Clear overhead lines, keep the drive wide enough for a truck, and mark anything you do not want buried. Pick a dry stretch if you can, since a loaded truck on wet clay can rut a drive or slide on a slope.
