Screenings for Pathways in Eldorado, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Eldorado, OH, and the material buyers here ask for first is 304 limestone. It is the base stone this part of Preble County is built on. Around it we stock the fines and clean stone that finish a project.

Ground here is glacial till, clay loam over gently rolling land, so what you put down and how it drains both matter.

Ground and Conditions in Eldorado

A thin base is the mistake that shows up first on drives and pads around Eldorado. Clayey till sheds water slowly, so a base that is too shallow or too narrow pumps, ruts and shifts under a truck tire.

The cure is a thicker, wider layer of 304 limestone over a graded, compacted subgrade. Water that has somewhere to go stops working on the stone.

Spring is the hard season. Snowmelt and rain sit in the flat swales between the low moraine ridges until ditches or tile carry it off, so saturated clay will not compact well. Base, driveway and paver work runs best once the ground thaws and the flats dry, then on into late fall.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department.

Materials for Eldorado Projects

Paths and walkways are where fines earn their place. Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, pack into a firm, walkable surface that locks together instead of scattering underfoot.

For a path that carries a wheelbarrow or a mower, start with 304 limestone as the structural layer, then cap it with screenings for a smooth finish. For a lighter garden path, screenings over a compacted subgrade often do the job on their own.

Where a path meets a downspout or a low spot, switch to clean stone so water moves instead of pooling. Here are the materials we stock for this work.

• Screenings: paver and patio bedding, leveling, and firm path surfaces.
• Walkway Gravel: walkways and garden paths that need a finer, walkable surface.
• 304 Aggregate Base: driveway, parking pad and shed base, and the base course under asphalt.
• 411 Stone: topping for gravel drives and parking areas, and bedding under pavers.
• #57 Limestone: drainage, French drains, gravel drive surfacing and concrete aggregate.

Decorative and soil materials round out most orders, including River Rock for dry creek beds and borders, Top Soil for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay, and Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings.

Ordering is done online. You pick the material, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and size the load with the calculator before checkout. Then you choose a delivery date and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Bulk delivery means the truck has to reach the drop point, so think about where the pile should land and whether the driver can get in and out. A clear, firm approach keeps the drop clean.
