Fill and Base Material Delivered in Ashland, OH

What do you order to raise a low lot or build up a pad for a shed? For most jobs around here, the answer starts with 304 limestone. Ohio Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ashland, OH.

Ashland sits on glaciated ground where silty clay loam till holds water and the subsoil drains slowly. That shapes what goes under your project long before the surface material shows up.

Delivery to Ashland and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard. If you are unsure how much a pad or drive needs, the quantity calculator sizes the load for you. Then you choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Ohio Rock Supply delivers across the city and into the rest of Ashland County, including Loudonville, Sullivan, Perrysville, Jeromesville and Polk. Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives, because a full load has to be placed where it can be dumped and turned around.

Materials for Ashland Projects

Most projects in Ashland start with grade, not with surface stone. Fill dirt raises low spots and builds up a pad before anything else goes down. 304 limestone then goes over it as the base course, the same material that carries asphalt and concrete and holds a driveway together.

• Fill Dirt for grading, leveling, backfill and raising low ground before a base goes down.
• 304 Aggregate Base, the standard Ohio base stone.
• 411 Stone for topping a compacted 304 base on a gravel drive, and for bedding under pavers.
• #57 Limestone for drainage, French drains and concrete aggregate, the clean stone size Ohio suppliers stock by number.
• Top Soil for lawn and bed prep, sold screened or pulverized over heavy clay.

Ground and Conditions in Ashland

That dense subsoil layer is why an under-built base fails here. Water perches above it instead of draining away, so a thin layer of stone over wet till moves under load. Excavate to stable ground, then build the base up in lifts and compact each one.

Freeze-thaw matters too. Wet till heaves under drives and walks, and frost depth is set by each local building department, so ask yours what depth they require for what you are building.

Erosion is the other local driver. Stream and ravine banks scour and slip on steep valley sides after heavy rain, so ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges call for rip rap rather than clean stone. Where a slope drains freely, sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash take a base without the same trouble.

Timing follows the ground. Snow cover and wet spring soil hold back base work until the ground drains, and the season then runs into late fall.
