Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Tell City, IN

If you are building a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base in Tell City, you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Tell City, IN that shows up with the right stone. Indiana Rock Supply stocks #53 stone, the dense graded base that packs hard under a drive and locks in place. Around here that base sits over thin, silty ground on the ridges and red-brown clay over limestone on the karst plain.

Start from the job and pick the material and quantity it takes.

Materials for Tell City Projects

Driveway and base work is the bread and butter here. #53 stone is the standard Indiana base, a dense graded stone with fines that you compact and then surface. It carries a drive, a parking pad, a shed base, or the layer under pavers and slabs.

Over a compacted #53 base, most crews top with driveway stone to get a tighter, smoother running surface. If a drive has gone rough and rutted, #73 stone is the finer dense graded stone for resurfacing it, with a smaller top size that packs smooth.

For drainage and clean stone, #8 stone is a clean single-size stone for underdrains and pipe bedding, and it is a common Indiana driveway topping. Drain rock handles French drains, foundation drains, downspout runs and those wet spots on flat ground where water has nowhere to go.

Where you need sand or soil instead of stone:

• Mason sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.
• Washed sand for leveling, bedding and base under slabs.
• Screened topsoil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay or thin rocky ground.

Ground and Conditions in Tell City

Water is what drives material choices here. Rain runs off the steep slopes fast and collects quickly in the narrow valleys, so a driveway needs a base that sheds water and a drainage layer that moves it away from the slab.

Many ridgetop silty soils have a dense fragipan that holds water near the surface. On ground like that, a shallow base will pump and rut, so you dig deeper and compact in lifts before the #53 stone goes down.

On the karst plain, water drains into sinkholes. Never aim runoff at one, because it can wash out fill or open a collapse. Bare steep slopes also gully fast, so get stone or vegetation on them before the next storm.

Timing matters too. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring through fall. In wet winter and spring weather the clay turns slick and steep, and unpaved drives rut and wash out.
