Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Coshocton, OH

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Coshocton, OH runs best from spring into late fall. Long wet spells saturate the hillsides, so slope work and driveway building wait for drier weather. Ohio Rock Supply delivers 304 limestone, soil, sand and clean stone to Coshocton and the rest of Coshocton County.

Start with the ground under the project. Most of this county is unglaciated hill country, with clayey slope debris on the hills and sand, gravel and silt in the river bottoms. That ground decides what goes on top of it.

Materials for Coshocton Projects

Soil and fill come first on most jobs here. Lawn and bed prep starts with Top Soil, screened so it spreads and roots easily. On heavy clay subsoil, a good layer of it is what gets seed to take. Raised beds and planting areas do better with Garden Soil, which holds moisture through a dry August.

Grading and leveling come before any base stone. Fill Dirt raises low spots and backfills so a pad sits level and drains away from the house. Once the grade is right, base stone goes down.

304 Aggregate Base, known around here as 304 limestone, is the standard Ohio base stone. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed floors and asphalt. 411 Stone, or 411 limestone, tops a compacted 304 base on gravel drives and beds pavers.

Clean stone handles water. #57 Limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, used for French drains, drive surfacing and concrete. Smaller sizes go where the work is tighter.

Sand and decorative stone round out a job. Mason Sand works into brick and block joints and paver bedding, and Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs. For beds and borders, River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel finish the surface.

Ground and Conditions in Coshocton

Water drives everything here. Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts and low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides also softens cuts and fills, which is why a slope that looks solid in July can move after a wet spring.

The erosion risk is real. Landslides and slumps happen on steep hillsides of clayey slope debris and soft red shale after heavy or prolonged rain, and stream banks scour in the narrow valleys. Armor those spots with RipRap at culvert outlets and ditch banks, and let clean stone carry water away from a foundation.

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, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts. On hillside drives, plan on stone that packs tight rather than stone that shifts.

What stone should I use for drainage in Coshocton?

Clean stone is the right choice, because fines in the mix hold water instead of letting it pass. #57 limestone is the size used most for French drains and drive surfacing here. For heavier drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms, #4 crushed stone works well. Fine drainage and pipe bedding call for #8 crushed stone.
