Pea Gravel and Bulk Aggregates for Glouster, OH

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Glouster, OH, start by sizing the load with the calculator on each product page. Punch in your area and depth, and it gives you the tonnage. Then pick the material, whether that is 304 limestone for a base or washed stone for a drain. Ohio Rock Supply delivers bulk loads across Athens County and the surrounding hills.

Materials for Glouster Projects

Wet ground is the job here. Hillsides shed rain fast into the valleys, so most work starts with moving water away from a building or a drive. That means washed stone and clean stone, not material that packs solid and traps water.

Listed coarsest to finest, here is what we stock and what each size does.

For a French drain or a drywell, #57 limestone is the workhorse. It is clean, so water runs through the voids instead of sitting in fines. Downspout runs and footing drains take the same stone, or drain rock if you want a coarser mix for a longer run.

Where a trench bottom needs something heavier, or you are armoring a culvert outlet against fast runoff, step up to #4 Crushed Stone. For tight bedding around pipe and joints, drop down to #8 Crushed Stone or screenings.

Under all of it goes 304 Aggregate Base, the standard Ohio base stone. It compacts hard and carries the load above it.

Delivery to Glouster and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. The calculator on each product page gets you close, then choose a delivery date at checkout that matches when you can take the truck.

A dump truck backs to your site and drops the load where you want it. Give some thought to where that is before the truck arrives, especially on a narrow drive or a slope. We deliver throughout Athens County, including Athens, Nelsonville, The Plains, Albany and Coolville.

If your site sits up a hill or off a gravel lane, tell us what the access looks like at checkout. It helps the driver place the pile where you can work from it.

Ground and Conditions in Glouster

This is unglaciated hill country. Soils are thin to moderately deep, weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides and sand and gravel down in the river bottoms. That ground behaves differently from flat farmland.

Heavy rain on steep slopes scours ditches and culverts and softens cuts and fills. Clayey slope debris and soft red shale slide after long wet spells. So cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather, roughly spring into late fall.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes and on drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before you dig footings or posts.

Plan drain work and slope work for the dry window, and build your drainage layer so water leaves the site instead of soaking into the fill.
