Materials Delivered in Clermont County

Order by the name your crew already uses. The list below covers the materials that fit most work in this county.

304 limestone carries the most weight on a Clermont County job. It is crushed limestone with fines. Item 304 is the aggregate base course used under drives, pads and pavement. Item 411 is stabilized crushed aggregate, a compacted crushed course that Ohio suppliers sell as driveway topping.

For drainage work, clean stone is called by number here. #57 limestone and #8 crushed stone are the two sizes that cover most pipe bedding and French drain runs. On steep ground, rip rap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

For beds and paths, river rock, large river rock and Natural Pea Gravel cover decorative and erosion work. Sand and soil round out the order: mason sand for brick and block work, washed sand for bedding under slabs, and garden soil for raised beds.

Ground Conditions Across Clermont County

Clermont County sits in the Southwest Ohio river hills and old till uplands. On the flat uplands, old, deeply weathered silty glacial soils sit over a dense, slow-draining subsoil. Water perches on that layer, so you get seasonal wetness and ponding after rain.

That changes what you build. An under-built base on a slow-draining upland soil will hold water and move under a loaded truck. Use 304 limestone for the base course, keep a clean stone drainage layer where water collects, and compact in lifts rather than one deep pass.

The hillsides toward the Ohio River are a different problem. There you find clayey till or thin soils over soft shale and limestone, and those steep valley sides shed runoff fast. Landslides on steep slopes over soft shale or clayey till, such as the Kope shale hillsides around Cincinnati, are a real risk after long wet spells, and the creeks cut at their banks. Rip rap on banks and outlets helps, and so does keeping water off the slope face.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet, poorly drained drives and pads, although frost does not reach as deep as in northern Ohio. Frost depth is 30 inches in Cincinnati and Clermont County, set by each local building department. Extended wet weather saturates both the flat uplands and the hillsides, so base and fill work goes best once the ground has drained. Hillside cuts are riskiest after long rainy spells.

Choosing the Right Material

Ground next door is not always the same ground. Warren County and Clinton County sit on the western and central Ohio till plains, where glacial till of clay loam to silty clay lies over gently rolling ground with low moraine ridges, flat wet swales between them, and sand and gravel in the larger river valleys. Those flat wet swales hold water much like the Clermont uplands, so a 304 limestone base with a clean stone drainage layer does similar work there.

Hamilton County shares this county's zone, the Southwest Ohio river hills and old till uplands. The ground is similar, so the comparison is really about typical projects. Hamilton County work leans toward tight urban lots and steep river hillsides, where drainage and slope protection matter more than a long drive build.

In Clermont County, match the material to the job. Driveways and pads take 304 limestone as the base with 411 limestone on top. French drains and downspout runs take #57 limestone or #8 crushed stone. Paver patios take screenings for bedding and mason sand for joints. Beds and borders take river rock or Natural Pea Gravel, and lawns take topsoil over fill dirt where the grade is low.
