Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Worthington, IN

If you are grading a yard, building up a low spot or prepping beds before a base goes down, gravel and aggregate delivery in Worthington, IN starts with the right material. Indiana Rock Supply stocks #53 stone for the base and screened topsoil, garden soil and fill dirt for everything above it.

Most jobs here need both. You move dirt to get the grade right, then lay stone so the surface stays put.

Materials for Worthington Projects

Grading and bed prep come first on almost every project in Greene County. Fill dirt raises grade and fills low spots before anything else goes down. Screened topsoil goes over heavy clay or thin rocky ground so grass and plants have something to root in. Garden soil is blended for raised beds and planting areas.

Once the grade is set, the base materials take over. #53 stone is the standard Indiana base, a dense graded stone with fines that packs hard under drives, parking pads and shed bases. #73 stone is the finer size, used to top and resurface a drive or shoulder where you want a tight, smooth surface.

Washed stone handles water. #8 stone is a clean single-size stone for drainage, underdrains and pipe bedding, and it makes a common driveway topping. Drain rock goes in French drains, foundation drains and downspout runs. Rip rap armors stream banks, ditch lines and culvert outlets where moving water cuts the ground away.

Ground and Conditions in Worthington

Water drives most of the material decisions here. Worthington sits in the Southwest Wabash and Ohio lowlands, where broad flat river valleys and old lake-bed flats of silt and clay drain slowly. When the Wabash, White or Patoka runs high, low ground floods and stays wet.

Upland ground has its own problem. Many of these loess soils carry a fragipan, a dense layer that holds water near the surface in wet seasons. A drive built on that ground without a drainage layer will pump and rut.

Two fixes show up on nearly every job. Put clean stone like #8 stone or drain rock under and beside the base so water has somewhere to go. Then compact the base in lifts, with #53 stone as the structural layer.

Bare loess washes away fast once its cover is stripped, so seed or cover exposed ground before the next storm. River and ditch banks also cut during floods, which is where rip rap earns its place.

Timing matters. Winter and spring are the high-water months on the river bottoms, so low sites build best from late spring through fall once water drops and the silt dries. Winters are milder than in northern Indiana but still bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves gravel drives and softens wet, silty subgrades.

Delivery to Worthington and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by truck and gets dumped, so have the drop spot clear before the load shows up. Mark any sprinkler heads, stakes or soft edges you do not want a truck tire on. A firm, dry approach keeps the truck from sinking in wet silt.

Order online and size the load by the ton or the yard. The calculator on each product page turns your length, width and depth into a quantity, which beats guessing when you are spreading base in lifts. Tell us where the pile goes and we will place it as close to the work as the truck can safely reach.

We deliver across Greene County, including Linton, Bloomfield, Jasonville, Lyons and Switz City.

Questions About Ordering in Worthington

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

Yes. Bulk stone, sand, soil and fill are ordered by the ton or by the cubic yard, and the product page calculator converts your project dimensions into a quantity. Give us the drop location and any access notes when you order, and the driver will place the pile where it can be reached safely.

What stone should I use for drainage in Worthington?

Use clean, single-size stone so water moves through the voids instead of pooling. #8 stone works for underdrains and pipe bedding, #57 stone handles French drains and concrete aggregate, and drain rock is sized for foundation drains and downspout runs. In wet, silty ground, line the trench with filter fabric first.
