Gravel, Stone and Soil for Vigo County, IN
Water moves slowly here. Low valley bottoms and old lake-bed flats sit wet, and upland loess soils hold water near the surface in wet seasons. Indiana Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Vigo County, IN to fix that. Start with #53 stone. It packs hard, sheds load, and gives you a base that stays put.
Materials Delivered in Vigo County
Order by size. Coarse stone drains and carries load. Fine stone packs tight and finishes smooth. Here is how the sizes line up for local work.
#53 stone carries most of the load. No. 53 is the dense graded compacted aggregate used for base. Order it for drives, pads, shed bases, and the base under pavers and slabs. It sets up firm and stays firm.
Need a finer surface? Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or dresses a compacted #53 base. Walkway Gravel handles paths and garden walks. For decorative beds and dry creek beds, River Rock and Large River Rock work well. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and light drainage.
Soil and sand round out an order. Top Soil rebuilds lawn and bed prep over heavy clay or thin rocky ground. Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a #53 base goes down. Mason Sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.
Ground Conditions Across Vigo County
Time your delivery to the season. Winter and spring are the high-water months on the river bottoms. Low sites build best from late spring through fall, once water drops and the silt dries out.
Ground here is broad flat river valleys and old lake-bed flats of silt and clay, low loess-covered hills over older till or bedrock, and sandy dune ridges beside the Wabash and White rivers. The thickest wind-blown silt in Indiana lies in these counties. That silt is the reason base depth matters.
Bare loess washes away fast once its cover is stripped. River and ditch banks cut during floods. In places, old underground coal mines can cause the ground to settle. Arm banks with rip rap. Keep water off bare slopes.
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 in northern Indiana. The county or city building department sets the exact footing depth, so do not assume a northern figure.
Delivery Across Vigo County
Order online. Pick your material, pick your size by the ton or the yard, and set a delivery window. Bulk delivery drops the load where you can move it with a machine or a wheelbarrow, not across the lawn.
We cover the county, including Terre Haute, West Terre Haute and Pimento. Lead time depends on material and volume, so build a little slack into your schedule. Wet ground on the bottoms can slow a drop, so plan low sites for the dry stretch.
Size the load before you order. Measure length, width and depth, then convert. A thin lift over a large pad still adds up fast.
Choosing the Right Material
Ground changes as you cross the county line. Parke County and Vermillion County sit in the Wabash Valley on the Central and northeast till plain, a flat to gently rolling plain of dense glacial till with loamy clay and sand and gravel outwash along the larger river valleys. That clay holds water and needs a deeper compacted base than a sandy ridge does.
Sullivan County shares our Southwest Wabash and Ohio lowlands zone. Ground there is similar, so the material choices track ours: #53 stone for base, clean stone for drainage, rip rap for banks. The projects differ more than the ground does.
Match the size to the job. Use #53 stone for anything that carries weight. Use #57 stone or #8 stone where water must pass through. Use #73 stone or driveway stone to finish a surface. Use rip rap where a bank is cutting.
