Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Evansville, WI

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Evansville, WI, Wisconsin Rock Supply stocks the materials local crews ask for by name. Traffic bond is the one you will see on most driveways and parking pads here: a crushed dense graded base that packs hard and stays put. It works over the lime-rich glacial till that sits under much of this part of Rock County.

You order online, pick your tonnage, and we deliver to the job site. Decorative rock, bedding stone, sand and soil are all on the same order.

Materials for Evansville Projects

Most of what leaves our yard for Evansville is landscape material. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover take stone that looks right and drains right. Traffic bond still goes under the hard surfaces, but the finish work is where the choice matters.

• River Rock for decorative beds and borders, and for dry creek beds that carry runoff across a yard.
• Large River Rock where a dry creek bed needs heavier stone that stays put in a hard rain.
• Natural Pea Gravel for walkways, play areas, dog runs and drainage strips along a foundation.
• Screenings for paver and patio bedding and a hard-packing top dressing on a drive.
• Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings where you want moisture held through the summer.

Organize the order by project. A driveway takes traffic bond as the base, then Driveway Gravel on top once the base is compacted. A patio takes screenings for bedding under the pavers, with Washed Sand for leveling. A drain takes Drain Rock in the trench and clear stone around the pipe.

For a walkway or garden path, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface than traffic bond. Where a slope needs armoring against runoff, RipRap holds the bank.

Ground and Conditions in Evansville

Start with the soil and work up. This part of Wisconsin sits on lime-rich glacial till, mostly under a cap of silt loam loess. Sand and gravel show up in outwash plains, kames and moraine hills, and peat and muck sit in marshes and kettle bottoms.

That mix decides your base. Water collects in kettles, marshes and low ground between drumlins and moraines, and slow-draining till holds spring rain and snowmelt near the surface. Sandy and gravelly outwash drains much faster. An under-built base on the silty side softens in the thaw and pumps under load.

Frost matters here. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and frost depth runs at least 48 inches for footings under the Uniform Dwelling Code, and 48 to 72 inches under pavement by late winter. Silty and clayey spots still heave and soften during the thaw, so dig deeper and compact in lifts.

On soft or clay ground, breaker run goes in first as a heavy sub-base, then traffic bond caps it. Runoff from rain and snowmelt washes silty soil off bare slopes on moraine hills, drumlins and graded sites, and cuts into ditches and stream banks. RipRap and large river rock armor those spots.

Time the work. Base, driveway and paver projects run from the end of the spring thaw into late fall. Class II state highways and posted county, town and village roads carry spring weight limits while frost comes out, and frozen ground stops compaction in winter.

Delivery to Evansville and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity. Most bulk material is sold by the ton, and sand and soil are often easier to figure by the cubic yard. Measure your area, decide the depth you need, and the site converts that into tonnage for you.

Delivery is bulk, dumped where you can reach it with a shovel, wheelbarrow or skid steer. Put the pile close to the work but off the finished surface. For a driveway or patio, that means a spot that will not block the truck or bury a drain.

We deliver across Rock County, including Janesville, Beloit, Edgerton, Milton and Clinton. If your site is graded and ready, the load goes where you want it.

Questions from Evansville Buyers

How much material will my project need?

Measure the length and width of the area, then decide the depth. For a compacted base, a moderate depth works under foot traffic, and a thicker base holds up better under vehicles. Multiply the three figures to get cubic feet, then convert to cubic yards or tons. The product page does the conversion for you once you enter your numbers.

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

Yes. Bulk gravel, stone, sand and soil are sold by the ton, and you can order by the ton for delivery in Evansville. Sand and topsoil are also easy to order by the cubic yard. Enter your quantity at checkout, and the load arrives on the truck at your site.
