304 Limestone, Sand and Gravel Delivery in Adams County, OH
Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Adams County, OH. Start with the calculator to size the load in tons or yards, then pick your material. Most drives, pads and shed bases here start with 304 limestone.
Ground in this county is old, deeply weathered silty soil on the flat uplands, with a dense subsoil that drains slow. On the steep hillsides toward the Ohio River, you hit clayey till or thin soil over soft shale. That mix decides what goes under your job.
Materials delivered in Adams County
Sizes run coarsest to finest. Big stone for heavy drainage and slope work, mid sizes for drives, fines for bedding and leveling.
304 limestone carries the load in most of this county. Fill dirt handles the grading and low spots first. Rip rap armors the banks where runoff comes off the hills fast. For decorative beds and dry creek work, river rock and large river rock cover it. Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas and dog runs, and mason sand or washed sand goes under brick, block and slabs.
Ground conditions across Adams County
Timing matters more here than material choice on a bad week. Extended wet weather saturates both the flat uplands and the hillsides. Base and fill work goes best once the ground has drained, and hillside cuts are riskiest after long rainy spells.
On the flat uplands, water perches on the dense subsoil and ponds after rain. Plan a drainage layer of clean stone, #57 or #4, and compact your base in lifts. On the steep valley sides, runoff sheds fast and landslides on soft shale or clayey till are the real risk. Rip rap and careful cut timing protect those slopes.
Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet, poorly drained drives and pads. Frost depth is 30 inches in Cincinnati and Clermont County, set by each local building department, and frost does not reach as deep as in northern Ohio. Keep that in mind for footing depth only.

Choosing the right material
Neighbours next door sit on different ground, and that shifts the choice. Scioto County and Pike County run mostly unglaciated hills with thin to moderately deep soils over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, clayey slope debris on the hillsides, and sand, gravel and silt in the flat river bottoms. Thin soil over rock means less digging before a base, but clayey slope debris still wants clean stone drainage.
Brown County shares Adams County's zone: old, deeply weathered silty glacial soils, a dense slow-draining subsoil on the uplands, and clayey till or thin soils over soft shale and limestone on the steep hillsides. Ground is similar, so the split is about the job: upland drives and pads lean on 304 limestone with a #57 drainage layer, while hillside work leans on rip rap and timing around wet spells.
