Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Auglaize County, OH
What base stone do you order under a new driveway or parking pad in Auglaize County? Most jobs here start with 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone. Ohio Rock Supply delivers gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Auglaize County, OH, ordered online and dropped at your site by dump truck.
Auglaize County sits on glacial till of clay loam to silty clay over gently rolling ground, so the base you pick and the drainage you add matter more than the surface looks suggest.

Materials delivered in Auglaize County
Materials are organized below from coarsest to finest, with the local name and the job each one handles here.
304 limestone, also called #304 limestone or #304 stone, carries the most weight in most orders. It is the aggregate base course used under drives, pads and pavement. Order it for a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base, or the base course under asphalt.
411 limestone, also called #411 limestone or 411 stone, is the driveway topping. Stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines packs tight over a 304 base, and it also beds pavers. For drainage, #57 limestone and #4 crushed stone are the sizes Ohio suppliers stock for French drains and construction entrances. Screenings handle paver bedding and leveling.
Ground conditions across Auglaize County
Clayey till drains slowly here, so water ponds in flat swales and low spots after spring rain and snowmelt until ditches, tile or dry weather clear it. Valley sand and gravel drain quickly by comparison. That difference decides where you need a drainage layer and where a compacted base will hold.
Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring and runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so timing a delivery to dry ground saves rework.
Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department, so check with yours on footing and pad depth.
Stream and ditch bank scour after heavy rain, washing of bare graded soil, and slumping on steep river valley sides are the erosion problems to plan for. Rip rap and #4 crushed stone armor those banks.
Choosing the right material
Van Wert County sits in the Lake Erie lake plain, a flat former lake bed of heavy, sticky clay and silt that includes old Great Black Swamp country. That ground holds water longer than Auglaize County till, so drainage stone and a thicker base matter more there than here.
Allen County and Shelby County share the western and central Ohio till plains zone with Auglaize County, so the ground is similar. In those counties the choice usually comes down to the project rather than the soil: a driveway gets 304 limestone with 411 limestone on top, and a drainage run gets #57 limestone.
Match the material to the job. Use 304 limestone for any base under a drive, pad or pavement. Use 411 limestone to top a drive or bed pavers. Use #57 limestone or #4 crushed stone where water has to move. Use screenings for bedding and leveling, and rip rap where a bank needs armoring.
