Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Bellefontaine, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Bellefontaine, OH for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners fixing up a yard. Most ground work here starts the same way, with 304 limestone. It is the base stone Ohio crews specify by name, and it goes under drives, parking pads and shed floors.

Logan County sits on clay till that holds water, so the soil you place above it matters as much as the stone below. That is where topsoil, garden soil and fill come in.

Materials for Bellefontaine Projects

Grading and bed prep drive most of the orders here. If you are raising a low spot or shaping a lawn before anything else goes down, start with fill. Our Fill Dirt brings grade up and levels ground so a base can sit on something solid instead of soft clay.

Once grade is set, a lawn or garden bed needs good material on top. Screened Top Soil gives roots a layer that drains and holds moisture better than the heavy subsoil underneath. For raised beds and planting areas, Garden Soil is the blend to use.

Base stone, washed stone, sand and decorative material round out the rest of the work.

• 304 Aggregate Base for driveways, parking pads and the base course under asphalt.
• 411 Stone for topping a gravel drive or bedding under pavers.
• #57 Limestone for drainage, French drains and drive surfacing.
• Screenings for paver and patio bedding and firm path surfaces.
• Natural Pea Gravel for play areas, dog runs and walkways.

If you are working around water, clean stone by number is the safer call. #57 limestone and #8 crushed stone both drain freely, while 411 limestone packs tight because it carries fines.

Ground and Conditions in Bellefontaine

Water is the deciding factor in Logan County. Clayey till drains slowly, so after spring rain and snowmelt, water sits in flat swales and low spots until ditches or tile move it along. Valley ground with sand and gravel drains quickly, but the flats do not.

That shapes what you buy. A drive or pad over wet clay needs a compacted 304 limestone base with enough clean drainage stone at the edges to move water away. Skip that, and the base pumps and shifts under load.

Cold winters add repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth runs 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, and each local building department sets the figure for its own area. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring and runs into late fall.

Stream and ditch banks are the other weak point. Heavy rain scours bare banks and outlets, and steep valley sides slump. Bare graded soil washes the same way until it is covered.
