Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Batavia, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Batavia, OH, and the working season drives most of it. Extended wet weather saturates the flat uplands and the hillsides here, so base and fill work goes best once the ground has drained. That makes 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone, a spring and late summer order for most jobs.

Materials for Batavia Projects

Soil and fill lead the list around Batavia because so much work here starts with grading. Old, deeply weathered silty soils sit over a dense subsoil that drains slowly, so beds and lawns need real depth of good material rather than a thin skim. Start with Top Soil for lawn and bed prep, sold screened or pulverized. Over heavy clay subsoil, a proper layer is what lets roots and water move.

Garden Soil is the raised bed and planting area mix. Fill Dirt handles grading, leveling, backfill and raising low spots before a 304 base goes down. Order fill first, let it settle, then cap it.

Build the base next. 411 Stone is 411 limestone, the topping for gravel drives and parking areas and bedding under pavers.

Clean stone comes by number here. #57 Limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, used for drainage and French drains. #8 Crushed Stone is finer, for pipe bedding and paver joints. Screenings are the limestone screenings used for paver and patio bedding.

Ground and Conditions in Batavia

Water is the thing to plan around. On the flat uplands, rain perches on that dense subsoil and leaves seasonal wetness and ponding. On the steep valley sides toward the Ohio River, runoff sheds fast instead of soaking in. Those are opposite problems, and they take different stone.

Where water sits, you want clean stone that lets it move. #57 limestone and #4 crushed stone carry drainage beds, French drains and foundation drains, while rip rap armors ditch banks and culvert outlets against storm runoff. Where soil is thin over soft shale on the hillsides, heavy rain raises landslide risk, so hillside cuts are riskiest after long wet spells.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet, poorly drained drives and pads. Frost depth runs 30 inches in Clermont County, set by each local building department, so footing depth is a question for your building official. For a drive or pad, the practical answer is drainage and compaction, not a deeper dig.

Delivery to Batavia and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped where you need it. Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. A driveway, a pad or a graded area beside the work saves you moving stone twice.

Ordering is done online. Choose your material, set the quantity by the ton or the yard, and use the calculator if you are unsure how much the area takes. Then pick a delivery date at checkout.

Batavia sits in Clermont County, and delivery covers the surrounding towns, including Amelia, Milford, New Richmond, Bethel and Williamsburg.

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Batavia?

Yes. Set your quantity by the ton or by the yard when you order, and use the calculator to size the load for your area. Then choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings it to your site. If you are ordering topsoil or fill for grading, work out the depth you need first so the load matches the job.

What stone should I use for drainage in Batavia?

Use clean stone, not a material with fines. #57 limestone is the usual choice for French drains and drainage beds, and #4 crushed stone suits heavier drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances. For fine drainage and pipe bedding, #8 crushed stone works well. Rip rap handles ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges where runoff is strong.
