#57 Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for Arcadia, OH

Standing water is the first problem here. Arcadia sits on flat lake plain clay, so spring rain and snowmelt sit until ditches and field tile move them along. Ohio Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Arcadia, OH for exactly that fight: washed stone, 304 limestone, and the drainage stone that gets water off your lot and away from your drive.

Materials for Arcadia Projects

Drainage drives the material list here. Start with clean, washed stone where water has to move, then add the base and bedding stone that sits on top of it. Here is the lineup by size, coarsest to finest.

Coarse stone for heavy water

Use #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. It also works as filter stone under rip rap. Railroad Ballast handles hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where you need open voids that will not clog.

Washed stone for French drains and downspouts

This is the core of most Arcadia drainage work. #57 Limestone is the clean stone Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and it is the standard fill for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Water passes through it instead of ponding on clay.

Want a slightly smaller clean stone? Use #67 Stone for drainage and concrete work. For pipe bedding and tight spots, #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone fit around pipe and into paver joints. Drain Rock covers French drains, downspout runs, foundation drains and drainage behind walls.

Base and topping stone

Every drain needs something solid over it. 304 Aggregate Base is the standard Ohio base stone for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and the base course under asphalt. Top it with 411 Stone, also specified as Item 411, for gravel drive surfacing and bedding under pavers.

Fine stone, sand and soil

Screenings bed and level pavers, patios and firm paths. Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints. Top Soil covers lawn and bed prep, and it matters over heavy clay subsoil. RipRap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against storm runoff.

We cover Arcadia and the rest of Hancock County, including Findlay, Arlington, McComb, Rawson and Van Buren. Place the truck where it can reach the drop point, since a full load needs room to spread as it tips.

Ground and Conditions in Arcadia

Timing matters as much as material. Clay flats stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground has drained and firmed. The season then runs into late fall.

That wet clay also heaves. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and poorly drained drives and pads move when water sits close to the surface. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before you set anything shallow.

Erosion is the other half. Heavy rain slumps and scours river, creek and ditch banks, and lots fronting Lake Erie or its bays take wave erosion that is worst in early spring storms. RipRap and large river rock hold those edges.
