#8 Stone Delivery for Avon Properties
Avon homeowners and contractors order #8 stone for the jobs where #53 just won't do — French drains behind retaining walls, sump and downspout discharge fields, pipe bedding under culverts, and clean top-dress over a tired #53 driveway base. Mann Hauling delivers #8 washed limestone to Avon from our Danville yard, with mileage built into the quote up front. Most Avon #8 orders we run are smaller than typical driveway loads — 5 to 15 tons for a residential drainage project, larger for new construction backfill or contractor jobsites along US-36 and CR 100 N.

What Is #8 washed limestone?
#8 washed limestone is a crushed aggregate used widely across Central Indiana for driveways, base layers, and drainage. It is sold by the ton and delivered by dump truck. The right product depends on whether you need a compactable base or a clean drainage stone.

Local Conditions in Avon, Indiana
Avon's heavy clay subsoil is the reason so many properties here need drainage solutions in the first place. Water doesn't percolate through clay — it sits, saturates, and shows up in basements, crawl spaces, and soggy yards. #8 washed limestone is the standard drainage media: clean, angular, and free of fines, so it stays permeable for the long haul instead of silting in like a fines-heavy stone would. For Avon backyard drainage projects, we typically deliver 5–10 tons for a residential French drain run. Larger #8 orders go out for new-construction footing drains, retention pond liner stone, and septic field bedding on Avon-area builds. Where a homeowner is refreshing the look of an older gravel drive, a single 8–12 ton load of #8 spread thin over a compacted #53 base gives a clean white-gray finish that drains well after rain.
Delivery Details
Avon #8 deliveries run from our Danville yard, typically next-day for in-stock loads. We'll match truck size to the project — a smaller load for tight residential dumps near a French drain trench, or a full load for jobsite bedding stone.
