Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Goshen, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Goshen, OH for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads all season, and homeowners fixing one wet, rutted lane. Most jobs here start with 304 limestone. It is the standard Ohio base stone, and it sets the grade everything else sits on.

Goshen sits in Clermont County, where the flat uplands hold old silty soils over a dense subsoil that drains slowly after rain.

Driveways drive most of the orders here, and a drive is a base decision before it is a surface decision. Start with 304 limestone, also called #304 stone, packed in lifts and compacted. It carries the load under asphalt and under any gravel surface.

From there, the topping depends on what you want the drive to do. A tight, dust-free surface calls for 411 limestone, stone up to about an inch mixed with fines, so it locks over a 304 base. If the drive needs to shed water instead, clean stone is the better answer.

• 304 Aggregate Base: 304 limestone for driveway and parking pad base, shed pads and the base course under asphalt.
• 411 Stone: 411 limestone topping for gravel drives and bedding under pavers.
• #57 Limestone: clean stone for French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate.
• Driveway Gravel: surfacing for an existing drive or a compacted base.
• Screenings: limestone screenings for paver bedding, leveling and firm paths.

Around the house, Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints, while Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs. For lawns and beds, Top Soil and Garden Soil do different jobs: one preps a lawn over heavy clay, the other fills raised beds.

Ground and Conditions in Goshen

Water is the thing to plan around. On the flat uplands, rain and snowmelt perch on the dense subsoil and sit there, so drives and pads stay soft and pond after a storm. On the steep valley sides toward the Ohio River, the same rain sheds fast over clayey till and soft shale.

That split shapes material choice. A flat, slow-draining drive wants a compacted 304 limestone base with clean stone or a drainage layer worked in at the edges, so water has somewhere to go. A hillside drive wants the runoff controlled before it cuts the surface loose.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet, poorly drained drives and pads, though frost does not reach as deep here as it does in northern Ohio. Frost depth is 30 inches in Cincinnati and Clermont County, set by each local building department. Base and fill work goes best once the ground has drained after long wet spells, and hillside cuts are riskiest right after them.

Delivery to Goshen and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or yard, size the load with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout. The truck needs a clear path and a firm spot to dump, and the pile needs somewhere it will not block a drive or sit in a drainage swale.

Have the drop area staked or marked before the truck arrives, and keep overhead lines and soft ground in mind. Delivery covers Goshen and the rest of Clermont County, including Amelia, Milford, New Richmond, Bethel and Batavia.
