Order 304 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Erie County, OH
Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Erie County, OH, and 304 limestone leads the list. Washed stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock round out the order.
Ground here is flat former lake bed, heavy clay and silt that holds spring rain until ditches and field tile move it. That shapes what you put down and when you put it down.
Materials Delivered in Erie County
Base stone comes first. 304 Aggregate Base, which buyers here call 304 limestone or #304 stone, is crushed limestone with fines that compacts into a firm, load-bearing course.
411 Stone, or 411 limestone, is the topping. Stone up to about an inch mixed with fines packs tight over a 304 base, and it also beds pavers. For a finished drive surface, Driveway Gravel and Walkway Gravel cover the finer, walkable end.
Delivery Across Erie County
You order online, pick your material, and set the quantity by the ton or the yard. If you are unsure how much a job takes, size the load with the calculator before you check out, then choose a delivery date that works.
A dump truck brings bulk material to the site and drops it where you point. Have the drop spot clear and reachable, with room for the truck to pull in and out. Mark any sprinkler heads, shallow lines or soft edges you want avoided. Sandusky, Huron, Vermilion, Milan, Castalia and Berlin Heights are all covered.
Ground Conditions Across Erie County
Rain and snowmelt land on flat clay and sit there until ditches and field tile carry the water away. Low sandy beach ridges and sand plains drain faster, so two lots a mile apart can behave very differently. Where water stands, you need a drainage layer, not just more stone.
Clay flats stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground has drained and firmed. 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.
Erosion shows up as bank slumping and scour along rivers, creeks and drainage ditches after heavy rain. On lots fronting Lake Erie or its bays, wave erosion is worst in early spring storms, and rip rap along the edge is the usual answer.
Choosing the Right Material
Huron County sits on western and central Ohio till plains, clay loam to silty clay over gently rolling ground with low moraine ridges and flat wet swales between them. That rolling shape sheds water better than Erie County's flat lake plain, so a drive there often needs less drainage stone under it.
Lorain and Sandusky counties share Erie County's ground zone, the same flat former lake bed of heavy clay and silt with sandy beach ridges. Ground is similar, so the material choices are similar too. Compare projects instead: a driveway, a patio base or a drainage run calls for the same 304 limestone and clean stone here as next door.
