Materials for Wilkinson Projects

Most jobs in Wilkinson start with grade. Fill first, then base, then the surface you actually see.

For a new drive, set the grade with fill dirt, compact a base of #53 stone, then top with #73 stone or driveway stone. A tighter surface comes from the finer material. A softer surface and a hard pack come from the #53 underneath.

For a patio or walkway, the base is #53 stone and the bedding is stone screenings. For a drain, use drain rock or #8 stone. Clean stone passes water; dense graded stone packs hard and sheds it.

Ground and Conditions in Wilkinson

You are on the Central and northeast till plain. That means a flat to gently rolling plain of dense glacial till, with loamy clay across central Indiana. It drains poorly on its own.

Late winter and spring rain on flat till has nowhere to go. That is the reason so much farmland here runs on tile. It is also the reason an under-built base fails.

Clay holds water and stays soft. Put a thin layer of #53 stone over wet clay and it pumps, ruts and sinks. Build the base deeper than you think you need, and compact it in lifts.

Frost matters too. Freeze-thaw heaves and ruts gravel drives on wet clay, and softens the subgrade every spring. Frost depth runs about 30 inches, and the local building department sets the figure for footings.

Time the work. Base and driveway work runs best from late spring, once saturated clay dries out, through fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through the winter months.

Ditches and stream banks scour after heavy rain on this flat ground. Rip rap armor is the fix at culvert outlets and eroding banks.

Delivery to Wilkinson and the Surrounding Area

Order online. Pick the material, then pick a quantity by the ton or by the cubic yard. Bulk material is sold by weight, so the tonnage is what you are buying.

Measure the area, decide the depth, and let the numbers set the order. Add a little for compaction, since dense graded stone loses volume as it packs. If you are unsure, use the calculator to size it.

We deliver bulk loads across Hancock County, including Greenfield, McCordsville, Fortville, New Palestine and Charlottesville. Place the load close to the work so you shovel less. Clear overhead wires and low branches on the approach.
