Materials for Unionville Projects

Start with the surface. A walkway asks for a material that packs tight and stays walkable after rain. Fines and screenings do that work. Then build down through the base.

Walkways and paths

Set your path on Walkway Gravel for a finer, walkable surface. Crown it and water finds the edge instead of the middle. For Natural Pea Gravel paths, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel gives a rounded, mostly uncrushed stone that drains fast underfoot.

Under pavers and flagstone, Stone Screenings bed and level the units. Screened fines lock the joints and hold the pattern flat. Skip screenings and the pavers rock.

The base under everything

#53 stone is the standard Indiana base. Contractors here call it 53 stone or #53 crushed limestone. It is a dense graded stone with fines, so it packs hard. Use it for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and base under pavers and slabs.

Want a tighter surface on top? #73 Stone is finer, with a smaller top size than #53. It tops and resurfaces drives, parking areas and shoulders where a smooth-packing finish matters.

For drainage, Drain Rock handles French drains, foundation drains and wet spots on flat ground. #8 Stone is a clean single-size stone for underdrains and pipe bedding, and it is a common Indiana driveway topping.

Ground and Conditions in Unionville

Here is the failure you will see first. A thin base on Unionville ground pumps, ruts and settles within a season.

Most of this country is unglaciated hill country. Soils are thin and silty over sandstone, siltstone and shale on steep ridges, with red-brown clay over limestone on the karst plain. Rain runs off steep slopes fast and collects in narrow valleys. Many ridgetop silty soils carry a dense fragipan that holds water near the surface.

So the fix is depth, not more surface stone. Cut out the soft material, place #53 stone in lifts and compact each lift. Build a solid compacted base under a footpath and a thicker base under a drive. On the karst plain, never aim runoff at a sinkhole: water funnelled underground can wash out fill or open a collapse.

Timing matters too. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring through fall. In wet winter and spring weather, clay turns slick and steep, and unpaved drives rut and wash out. Winters are milder than in northern Indiana, but repeated freeze-thaw still heaves gravel drives and softens clay subgrades. Frost depth is shallower here, and the exact footing depth is set by the county or city building department. Do not assume a northern figure.

Delivery to Unionville and the Surrounding Area

Order online, then pick your unit. Sold by the ton, material is weighed. Sold by the yard, it is measured by volume. Loose stone and sand usually price by the yard; topsoil and mulch often go by the yard too.

Estimate quantity before you order. Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 for cubic yards. Measure the path length and width, choose the depth, and use the calculator to turn it into yards. Order a little over and you will not run short mid-job.

Bulk delivery drops at your site. Have the truck path clear and the pile spot marked. We deliver across Monroe County, including Bloomington and Ellettsville.

Questions Unionville Buyers Ask

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the driveway and mark the drop spot. A bulk truck needs room to turn and a firm surface to stand on, so keep soft clay and low branches out of the way. Point out any overhead wires, septic lids or buried lines. If you want the load placed rather than dumped, say so before the truck leaves the road.

What is the best base under pavers in Unionville?

Use #53 stone. Contractors here call it 53 stone. It is dense graded with fines, so it packs hard and holds a level plane. Place it in lifts and compact each one. Bed the pavers on Stone Screenings over that base, not on bare soil.
