Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Carey, OH

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Carey, OH runs on the season. Base and driveway work here starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring, then runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact, so the timing of a load matters as much as the material.

Ohio Rock Supply delivers 304 limestone and the rest of the bulk line to jobs around Carey. The ground in this part of Wyandot County is glacial till, clay loam over gently rolling ground, and it sets the rules for what goes under a drive.

Materials for Carey Projects

Most jobs in Carey start with 304 limestone. It is the standard Ohio base stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed floors and asphalt. It packs hard because the stone and fines bind together.

Over that base, use 411 limestone as a topping. Stone up to about an inch mixed with fines locks tight and leaves a firm surface on a gravel drive. It also beds pavers and patio stone.

Clean stone handles water. #57 limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and it suits French drains, drive surfacing and concrete. #8 crushed stone works for pipe bedding, paver joints and finer drainage, while #4 crushed stone takes heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

Sand and soil round out a project. Mason sand sets brick and block and fills paver joints. Screened topsoil rebuilds a lawn over heavy clay subsoil, and fill dirt raises low spots before a base goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Carey

Water drives most of the problems here. The clayey till drains slowly, so after spring rain or snowmelt water ponds in flat swales and low spots until ditches and tile clear it. Ground in the river valleys drains quickly by contrast.

That means a drive or pad needs a base that sheds water instead of holding it. On wet flats, build up with 304 limestone and let clean stone carry the drainage. In the valleys, less fill is usually needed.

Winter adds another layer. Repeated freeze-thaw 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.

Heavy rain also scours stream and ditch banks and washes bare graded soil. Rip rap along a bank or culvert outlet holds that edge. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so base work waits for dry ground.
