Bulk Material Delivery in Fletcher, OH

Water is the problem in Fletcher. Clayey till drains slowly, so spring rain and snowmelt sit in the flat swales until a ditch or tile clears them. Ohio Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in Fletcher, OH to move that water where you want it.

Start with 304 limestone for a base, then add washed stone for drainage. Both come by the ton, dumped at your site.

Materials for Fletcher Projects

Drainage work starts with clean stone. No fines, no dust, nothing to hold water. Water runs through it and away. Match the stone size to the job, from coarsest to finest.

#4 crushed stone is the heavy end. Use it for construction entrances, trench bottoms and filter stone under rip rap. It moves a lot of water fast.

#57 limestone is the workhorse clean stone. Ohio suppliers stock it widely, and it suits French drains, downspout runs and drive surfacing. Pair it with drain rock where a run needs to stay open.

#8 crushed stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. It fits where #57 is too coarse to sit tight around a pipe or between stones. For a slightly smaller clean stone than #57, use #67 stone.

Drywells and downspout runs need stone that stays open under load. Clean washed stone does that. Fines clog a drain, so keep them out of the trench.

Base and surface work is a different job. 304 limestone, also called #304 limestone, is the standard Ohio base stone. It packs hard under a driveway, parking pad or shed base. Top it with 411 limestone for a tight gravel drive surface, or set pavers on screenings.

Ground and Conditions in Fletcher

Fletcher sits on the Western and central Ohio till plains. Glacial till of clay loam to silty clay rolls gently here, with low moraine ridges, flat wet swales between them, and sand and gravel in the larger river valleys. Clayey till drains slowly. Valley ground drains fast.

Timing matters. Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring, and runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so a load placed too early sits until it does.

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

Stream and ditch banks scour after heavy rain, and bare graded soil washes. Rip rap and large river rock armor those banks and culvert outlets.
