Mason Sand for Patios in Circleville, OH

Ohio Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Circleville, OH, from 304 limestone to mason sand and topsoil. This is clay till country, so what you put under a patio matters as much as what you set on top. Order online, pick a delivery date, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Ground and Conditions in Circleville

Pickaway County sits on glacial till, clay loam over silty clay, with flat swales that hold water after spring rain and snowmelt. A thin base over that ground shows up fast as dips and rocking pavers. Water sits, the clay softens, and the surface loses its support.

Frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department, and repeated freeze-thaw heaves wet clay under patios and drives. Work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry in spring, then runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well.

Along the river valleys the ground changes to sand and gravel that drains quickly, while the till flats need ditches or tile to clear. Match your base and drainage layer to what is under the patio, not to the lot next door.

Materials for Circleville Projects

Patios and flatwork start with bedding, and bedding is where the surface either holds or moves. Set pavers on Screenings, the fine crushed limestone Ohio suppliers call stone dust. It runs from about 1/4 inch down to dust and packs tight under a leveling screed.

Under that bedding you need a base that will not pump when the clay below stays wet. 304 Aggregate Base is the standard Ohio base stone and the one specified for base course under asphalt and pavers. Build the pad on 304 limestone and the bedding layer has something solid to sit on.

For a patio edge, a retaining wall, or a fire pit ring, #4 Crushed Stone works as heavy drainage and trench bottom stone. Behind a wall, Drain Rock carries water away from the clay so it does not push on the block.

Sand finishes the job. Mason Sand sweeps into paver joints and mixes for brick and block work, and Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. For a drive instead of a patio, 411 Stone, or 411 limestone, tops a compacted 304 base and packs tight.

Questions About Ordering Material in Circleville

What gravel is best for a driveway in Circleville?

Start with 304 limestone for the base, since it is the standard Ohio base stone and compacts well over clay till. Top it with 411 limestone, which packs tight and sheds water off the surface. If your drive needs drainage instead of a packed top, #57 limestone is the clean stone to use.
