Fill and Base Material Delivered in Hammondsville, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hammondsville, OH, and the ground here sets the plan before anything else does. Hillsides carry clayey slope debris and thin soil over sandstone and shale, and the flat river bottoms run to sand, gravel and silt. On that kind of ground, 304 limestone placed at the right depth is what keeps a pad from moving.

Most material around here goes to raising grade and building pads. Fill dirt brings a low spot up first, then 304 limestone goes over it as a compacted base.

Delivery to Hammondsville and the Surrounding Area

You order online and choose a quantity by the ton or the yard. The material calculator sizes the load if you are unsure, and you pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then delivers to your site in Hammondsville or anywhere in Jefferson County.

Steep ground is the common snag. If your drive or pad sits on a slope, tell us where the truck can turn around and where you want the pile dropped. We also deliver to Steubenville, Toronto, Mingo Junction, Tiltonsville and Brilliant.

Materials for Hammondsville Projects

Fill and base work is where most local projects start, because a low pad or a soft cut has to be built up before anything sits on it. Fill dirt does the raising and leveling. Then 304 limestone goes down as the base course under asphalt, a driveway or a shed pad.

• Fill Dirt: grading, backfill and raising low spots before a 304 base goes down.
• 304 Aggregate Base: the standard Ohio base stone for driveways and the base course under asphalt.
• 411 Stone: topping for a gravel drive over a compacted 304 base, and bedding under pavers.

For drainage on these hillsides, clean stone by number is the usual answer. #57 Limestone handles French drains and drive surfacing, and #4 Crushed Stone takes heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.

Finishing work runs to finer material. Screenings bed pavers and patios and firm up a path, and RipRap armors a ditch bank or culvert outlet where runoff scours hardest.

Ground and Conditions in Hammondsville

This is unglaciated hill country. Soils are thin to moderately deep over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides and sand, gravel and silt in the river bottoms. That mix is why an under-built base shows up fast here.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain quickly into narrow valleys. Runoff scours ditches and culverts, low bottoms flood, and water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills. Clayey slope debris and soft red shale slump after prolonged rain, so base depth and drainage matter on any pad near a slope.

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 digging footings or posts.

Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather, and the working season runs from spring into late fall.
