Common Projects and Recommended Aggregates

Posey County property owners use aggregates in many applications. Below are common project types and the materials we recommend.

Driveways and Private Roads

Use road base and crusher run for a stable subbase.
Top with driveway gravel or 3/4 inch crushed stone for wear resistance.
Consider geotextile fabric over soft spots to reduce rutting.

Drainage and Erosion Control

Drain rock and #57 stone are best for French drains and curtain drains.
River rock and pea gravel work well in swales and low-flow areas for aesthetics.

Gardens, Beds, and Play Areas

Topsoil followed by mulch or decorative river rock for planting beds.
Playground sand for safe play surfaces.
Decomposed granite for low-maintenance walkways and patios.

Local Soil, Terrain, and Climate Considerations

Posey County sits in the Wabash and Ohio River bottoms with a mix of alluvial soils along waterways and loamy to clay soils inland. Local soil types influence drainage and compaction behavior.

Soil Types and How They Affect Aggregates

River bottom areas often have silty, fine-grained alluvium that drains slowly. In those areas, choose angular aggregates and proper subbase drainage to prevent frost heave and rutting. Upland loam and clay need a solid base layer to distribute loads from vehicles and prevent settling.

Climate and Seasonal Advice

Posey County experiences humid continental weather with cold winters and warm, humid summers. Freeze-thaw cycles can shift poorly drained aggregates; plan for proper drainage and use materials like crusher run and road base in structural layers. During summer months, decomposed granite and pea gravel work well for dry landscaping and paths.

Local Challenges

Floodplain and seasonal high water near the Ohio and Wabash rivers
Clay-rich subsoils that require well-compacted bases
Rural access and narrow driveways that require careful delivery placement

Frequently Asked Questions About Gravel in Posey County

What is the best gravel for driveways in Posey County?

For lasting driveways, use a compacted road base or crusher run as a subbase and finish with 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel for wear resistance.

Do you deliver to rural addresses and farms?

Yes. We deliver to rural homes, farms, and commercial properties across Posey County. We coordinate placement for narrow drives and limited access.

How much aggregate do I need for a 12 foot by 40 foot driveway?

Estimate cubic yards by multiplying length by width by depth (in feet) and dividing by 27. For a 12 by 40 driveway at 4 inch depth use about 6 cubic yards. We can help confirm quantities for your project.

Yes. Our playground sand and washed sand meet common safety and cleanliness standards and are suitable for local play areas when placed at recommended depths.
