Materials for Coolville Projects

This is slope and drainage country. Steep ground sheds rain fast into narrow valleys, so water scours ditches and culverts before it ever soaks in. The right answer on most jobs is coarse stone that moves water and holds ground.

Coarse stone for slope, swale and bank work

Start at the heavy end. RipRap armors stream banks, ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against storm runoff. Railroad Ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage where nothing finer will stay put. #4 Crushed Stone works for construction entrances, trench bottoms and filter stone under rip rap.

Clean stone by number, the way Ohio sells it

Ohio yards stock clean stone by number, not by inch. #57 Limestone is the size to reach for on French drains and drive surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone covers fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. For something between the two, #67 Stone sits in the middle.

Base, topping and bedding

304 limestone, also called #304 limestone, is the standard Ohio base stone. It goes under asphalt, driveways and shed pads. 304 Aggregate Base is that material. Over a compacted base, 411 Stone packs tight as drive topping and paver bedding.

Delivery to Coolville and the Surrounding Area

Order online when you know your material and quantity. You pick tons or yards, and you choose your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site.

Coolville sits in Athens County, and we cover the county, including Athens, Nelsonville, The Plains, Glouster and Albany.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck rolls. Bulk stone and soil come off the bed in one push, so the driver needs room to spread or tailgate where you want it. Keep vehicles and equipment out of that lane.

Ground and Conditions in Coolville

This is Southeast Ohio hill country, and it is mostly unglaciated. Soils are thin to moderate, weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Hillsides carry clayey slope debris, and the flat river bottoms hold sand, gravel and silt.

That ground drives the work. Water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills, and long wet spells saturate slopes and set off slips. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes go best in drier weather, so the season runs from spring into late fall. Time your delivery with that in mind.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes and on drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department. Confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Coolville

What stone should I use for drainage in Coolville?

Match the stone to the water. For French drains, downspout runs and foundation drains, #57 limestone is the usual pick, with #8 crushed stone for tighter work and pipe bedding. For heavy flow at a culvert outlet, a ditch bank or a slope toe, step up to #4 crushed stone or rip rap, which stay put when runoff comes fast off these hills.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear path and a marked drop spot. Decide where the pile goes or where you want the driver to tailgate and spread, and keep that area free of cars, tools and pets. If the ground is soft or the slope is steep, pick a firm approach so the truck can get in and out without trouble.
