Crushed Gravel in Posey County
Most projects in Posey County take several tons of crushed gravel, not a few bags. Delivering by the dump truck keeps the price per ton lower and saves you multiple trips.
Posey County gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter more than in drier areas.

Local Conditions That Affect Crushed Gravel Use in Posey County
About 77 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which makes scheduling delivery onto firm ground important. Wet soil can rut easily under a truck.
The county also sees about 86 freezing days a year, so the ground can heave if the base is not compacted well. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Snowfall averages 12 inches annually, which means plowing can scrape off a loose surface layer.
Soils mapped in the Posey County area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so you may need more base stone under the surface layer. The ground around Posey County is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where not drained, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, but exactly how much depends on the drainage of your own site.
How Much Crushed Gravel You Need for Your Project
Estimate the volume by multiplying length by width by depth, then convert cubic feet to tons. Use the Gravel Monkey material calculators to get a tonnage figure for crushed gravel by entering your project dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel Delivery in Posey County
Does the soil around Posey County change how much crushed gravel I need?
Yes. Soils mapped in the Posey County area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so you may need more base stone than in well-drained areas. For compacted bases, adding an extra 2 to 4 inches of crushed gravel can compensate for slower drainage.
When is the best time of year to order crushed gravel in Posey County?
Spring and fall are best because the ground is firm and not frozen. About 86 days a year drop below 32F, so winter deliveries can run into frost or thaw issues that make access tough.
How do I know how deep to go?
Depth depends on the project use and soil condition. For a shed pad, 4 to 6 inches of compacted crushed gravel is common. For a driveway that carries cars, 6 to 8 inches. For soft ground, you may need 12 or more inches of coarse stone first.
What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet and a surface that can carry a heavy load. If access is tight or the ground is soft, let us know at checkout so the crew can plan where to unload.
