Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Elmore, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Elmore, OH, and 304 limestone leads the list. The ground here is flat former lake bed, heavy clay that holds spring water, so what you put under a drive matters as much as what you see.

Materials for Elmore Projects

Driveway work starts with the base. 304 Aggregate Base, sold here as 304 limestone or #304 stone, is the compacted layer that carries the load under asphalt and under any gravel surface. It is the stone to order first.

Over that base, 411 Stone packs tight as a top course on a drive or parking area, and it also beds pavers.

Washed stone covers the drainage side of a job. #57 Limestone is the clean stone Ohio suppliers stock most widely, good for French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate. #8 Crushed Stone goes finer, for pipe bedding, paver joints and tight drainage. #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances.

Sand and soil round out a typical order. Mason Sand for block work and paver joints, Washed Sand for bedding and base under slabs. Top Soil for lawns and beds, and Fill Dirt for raising low spots before a base goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Elmore

Rain and snowmelt are the drivers here. The land is so flat that water sits on the clay until ditches and field tile move it, and the sandier beach ridges drain faster. That changes what you order.

On a wet clay lot, a drive needs a drainage layer of clean stone like #57 or #8 stone so water has somewhere to go. Compact the 304 limestone in lifts, and the surface stays put instead of rutting.

Clay flats also stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground drains and firms. The season then runs into late fall.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and wet clay holds water close to the surface, which heaves poorly drained drives and pads. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure.

Delivery to Elmore and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck. You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or yard, and size the load with the calculator before checkout. Then you choose a delivery date that fits your schedule.

Have the drop spot ready before the truck arrives. A clear, firm area with room for the bed to raise and pull away keeps the load where you want it. On soft spring ground, a spot near the driveway edge works better than a lawn.

Elmore sits in Ottawa County, and delivery covers Port Clinton, Oak Harbor, Genoa, Graytown and Isle St. George along with the city itself.
