Buy Fill Dirt in Winslow, IN

Indiana Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Winslow, IN, from #53 stone and driveway stone to screened topsoil, garden soil and fill dirt. This part of Pike County sits on broad, flat valley ground where silt and clay hold water after every big rain. That shapes what you order and how deep you build.

Most Winslow jobs start with grade, not with stone. You fill the low spots, build the pad up, then cap it. We stock the soil, fill and stone for that whole sequence.

Materials for Winslow Projects

Grading and bed prep come first here. Fill dirt raises a low spot or builds a pad up to grade before anything else goes down. Screened topsoil goes over heavy clay or thin, rocky ground so grass has something to root in, and garden soil fills raised beds and planting areas. Order fill first, let it settle, then bring in the top layer.

Under pavers and slabs, the base matters more than the surface. #53 stone is the standard Indiana base, a dense graded stone with fines that packs hard. It takes driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Limestone screenings go on top of that base as bedding for pavers and flagstone, because they level out smooth and stay put.

For drive surfaces, #73 stone is the finer dense graded size, and it packs tight on drives, shoulders and parking areas. If you are just topping an existing drive, driveway stone is the right call. Walkway gravel covers paths that need a finer, easier surface underfoot.

• Fill Dirt for raising grade, filling low spots and backfill
• Top Soil for lawn and bed prep over clay or rock
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas
• #53 Stone for drives, pads and base under pavers
• #73 Stone for topping and resurfacing drives

Sand and decorative material round out a load. Mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints. River rock and large river rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds where you want stone that stays loose and moves with water.

Ground and Conditions in Winslow

Water drives every decision on a Winslow site. Rain and snowmelt on flat valley ground have nowhere to go, and low bottoms and old lake-bed flats drain slowly. When the Wabash, White or Patoka runs high, those low sites flood. Build your grade up first so the surface sits above the wet line.

Upland loess soils here carry a fragipan, a tight layer that holds water near the surface in wet seasons. That is why a drainage layer matters more than base thickness in many yards. Use clean, single-size stone for that layer, because fines clog and stop water. #57 stone, #8 stone, drain rock and 3/4 inch crushed stone all work for French drains, downspout runs and wet spots. Rip rap armors ditch banks and culvert outlets where water cuts fast during floods.

Bare loess washes away quickly once its cover is stripped, so seed or cover exposed ground before the next storm. 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.

Winters are milder than in northern Indiana, but repeated freeze-thaw still heaves gravel drives and softens wet, silty subgrades. Frost depth is shallower than up north, and the county or city building department sets the exact footing figure. Do not borrow a northern number.

Delivery to Winslow and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by the truckload and is dumped where you want it. Pick your spot before the truck gets there. A firm, dry, open area near the work keeps the driver out of soft ground, and a tarp or plywood pad protects a lawn or a fresh drive from the pile.

Order by the ton or the yard, whichever you find easier to figure. Measure the area and the depth you want, then use the calculator to size the load. A short drive with a thin topping uses far less than a new pad built up thick over fill. If you are unsure, size the base first and add the surface layer second.

We deliver across Winslow and the rest of Pike County, including Petersburg, Otwell, Stendal and Velpen. Everything runs through the calculator and the online order, so you can place it, pick your material and set the drop.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Winslow?

Yes. Bulk stone, sand, soil and mulch are ordered by the ton or by the yard, and you choose when you place the order online. The calculator helps you convert your area and depth into a quantity, so you get the volume you need for the job instead of guessing. Everything is delivered by truck to your site in Winslow.

What stone should I use for drainage in Winslow?

Use clean, single-size stone so water moves and fines do not clog the voids. #57 stone, #8 stone, drain rock and 3/4 inch crushed stone all handle French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. For ditch banks and culvert outlets where flood water cuts hard, rip rap is the better choice. Keep the drainage layer separate from any dense graded base above it.
