Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Croton, OH

Water is the problem on most Croton jobs. It perches on the dense subsoil and pools in low spots, so gravel and aggregate delivery in Croton, OH starts with stone that drains. Ohio Rock Supply stocks 304 limestone for the base and washed stone for the water.

Materials for Croton Projects

Drainage drives the material list here. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need clean, washed stone, because fines clog the voids and stop water moving. Start coarse and work down.

#4 Crushed Stone is the heavy end. Use it in trench bottoms, construction entrances and filter stone under rip rap. #57 Limestone is the workhorse for French drains and driveway surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone handles pipe bedding and paver joints.

For a downspout run or a drywell, Drain Rock keeps water moving underground. #89 Crushed Stone suits tight bedding and fine drainage.

Then the base and surface layers. 304 Aggregate Base is the standard Ohio base stone under asphalt and under a drive. 411 Stone tops a compacted base and beds pavers. Screenings level patios and firm up paths.

Finish beds with River Rock or Natural Pea Gravel. Both shed water and hold up in wet ground.

Wet spring ground is the one thing that can slow a drop. If your site is soft, plan the delivery for a stretch when the ground has drained.

Ground and Conditions in Croton

Croton sits on the Glaciated plateau of northeast and east-central Ohio. The ground is rolling to hilly silty clay loam till with a dense, slow-draining subsoil layer. Water perches on that layer and collects in kettle hollows and poorly drained low spots.

Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash drain freely, so two properties a mile apart can behave differently. Check your own ground before you set base depth.

Steep valley sides scour and slip after heavy rain, which is where rip rap earns its place on ditch banks and culvert outlets. Cold, snowy winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet till under drives and walks.

Timing matters as much as material. Wet spring ground holds back base work until the soil drains, and the season then runs into late fall. Build your drainage layer first, then compact your base in lifts.
