Materials for Delphos Projects

Most work here starts with stone, but the finish work is where decorative rock and bedding material earn their keep. Here is what to order for the job in front of you.

Beds, borders and dry creek beds

For planting beds, River Rock and Large River Rock hold up as ground cover and edge a bed clean. Large river rock goes into dry creek beds, where it moves water without washing out.

Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas, dog runs and walkways, a small rounded stone that stays easy underfoot. Top beds with Shredded Mulch to hold moisture through summer.

Driveways, patios and drainage

A driveway starts with 304 Aggregate Base, the local 304 limestone. It packs hard and carries the load. Top it with 411 Stone, which packs tight over that base as a running surface.

For a patio, bed pavers on Screenings, the limestone screenings that level and lock a setting bed. For drainage, #57 Limestone is the clean stone for French drains and downspout runs.

Ground and Conditions in Delphos

This part of the state sits on glacial till, clay loam to silty clay over gently rolling ground. Clayey till drains slowly, so water ponds in the flat swales after spring rain and snowmelt until ditches or tile move it along.

That slow drainage is why an under-built base fails. Put 304 limestone down over soft, wet clay and it pumps and rutts instead of compacting. Cut out the soft spots, add fill dirt where the grade is low, and compact in lifts.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios. Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry in spring and runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact. Where a footing or post depth matters, frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department.
