Bulk Material Delivery in Indiana, PA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Indiana, PA, Pennsylvania Rock Supply stocks the base stone this county builds on. 2A modified is the standard here: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Clay-rich ground on the hillsides around town makes what you put under a slab matter as much as the slab itself.

Materials for Indiana Projects

Water is the problem on most Indiana jobs. Roof runoff and drive runoff have to go somewhere, and on a hillside lot that means a drainage layer, not a packed surface. Clean washed stone carries water; 2A modified stops it.

Work from the coarsest clean stone down to the fines.

2B stone, also called 2B clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone, is the workhorse for drainage. It is washed, so it has no fines and water moves straight through it. Use it in a French drain, around a drywell, or behind a retaining wall on a slope.

#57 Stone is the same clean size. Pennsylvania yards call that size 2B. Buy whichever name your plans use; the stone is the same.

Where a smaller clean stone is wanted, #67 Stone and #8 Crushed Stone (called 1B here) fit tight spots, walkway topping and concrete work. #89 Crushed Stone and screenings handle the finest joints and bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Indiana

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. That window sets your delivery date. Digging and hauling on saturated clay in March makes a mess you spend the rest of the year fixing.

The ground here is flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone and coal beds weathered into silty, clay-rich soils, cut by steep valleys. Much of the town sits over old underground coal mines. Wet clay on a slope is the local failure mode, and heavy rain or rain on snow is when it moves.

Freeze-thaw cycles every winter soften clay soils that stay wet. A thin or poorly drained base heaves and breaks up. The frost depth here is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so check with your code official before you plan footings.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable. On a hillside drive, that usually means the top, where a loaded truck can turn around and the stone stays out of the runoff path.
