Edon sits on clay loam and silty clay till, so what goes under a patio matters as much as what sits on top of it. Start with the right bedding and the flatwork stays flat.

Ground and Conditions in Edon

Clayey till drains slowly here. Water ponds in flat swales and low spots after spring rain and snowmelt until ditches or tile clear it. Valley sand and gravel drain fast, but most lots in Edon sit on the tight stuff.

Under a patio, that shows up as a thin base. A shallow lift of bedding over wet clay pumps, shifts and settles, and the pavers rock within a season or two. Freeze-thaw makes it worse. Cold winters heave wet clay under drives and patios and lift shallow posts and pads.

Fix the base before you set a single paver. Excavate deep enough to carry a compacted lift of 304 limestone, then bed your pavers on screenings. Compact in lifts and keep the subgrade from staying saturated. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so start once the ground thaws and the flats dry in spring, and push work into late fall.

Materials for Edon Projects

Bedding is the material that decides how a patio performs. Get that right and the rest of the order falls into place.

Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, are the standard paver and patio bedding in Ohio. Fine crushed limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust. Screed it level, set the pavers, and sweep the joints. It locks tight and gives you a firm, walkable surface.

Below the bedding, 304 Aggregate Base does the structural work. Ohio contractors know it as 304 limestone or #304 stone. It is the standard base stone for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and the base course under asphalt. It compacts hard and carries the load.

For a patio that needs a firmer setting bed, Mason Sand works for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, handles leveling, bedding and base under slabs.

Around the edges and in the drainage details, clean stone by number is what Ohio suppliers stock. #57 Limestone covers drainage, French drains and drive surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.

Questions About Gravel and Bedding in Edon

What gravel is best for a driveway in Edon?

Start with 304 limestone for the base. It is the standard Ohio base stone, and it compacts hard over the clay till here. Top it with 411 limestone, which packs tight over a 304 base and gives you a smooth driving surface. If the drive needs drainage, add clean #57 limestone along the edges.

How much material will my project need?

Use the calculator on the order page. Enter your project details and it returns the quantity in tons or yards, so you can order the right amount the first time. Have your measurements ready before you start. If you are bedding pavers, order the screenings and the base stone together so both arrive for the same work window.
