Bulk Gravel Delivery to Harrison, OH

If you are building a patio, setting pavers, or laying flatwork, gravel and aggregate delivery in Harrison, OH starts with one thing: what goes under the stone. The ground here is old, deeply weathered silty soil with a dense subsoil that holds water, so a paver base has to be built to shed it. Ohio Rock Supply delivers 304 limestone and the bedding and drainage stone that goes with it, by the ton, straight to your site.

Ground and Conditions in Harrison

On the flat uplands, water perches on that dense subsoil and sits there after rain. A thin base over wet ground shows it fast: rutting, pumping, and pavers that rock a season later. The cure is a thicker compacted lift of 304 limestone over a drainage layer, not a skim of stone.

The steep valley sides shed water fast, so cuts there behave differently. Clayey till and thin soils sit over soft shale, and hillside ground is riskiest after long wet spells. That is also when stream banks give way, which is why rip rap gets used along creeks and culvert outlets.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet, poorly drained drives and pads. Frost depth runs to roughly 30 inches in Cincinnati and Clermont County, set by each local building department. Base and fill work goes best once the ground has drained.

Materials for Harrison Projects

For a paver patio or walkway, bedding is where the job is won or lost. Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, are the fine material from about 1/4 inch down to dust. Screened over a compacted base, they lock pavers flat and hold a firm edge.

Under the bedding goes the structural layer. 304 limestone, also called #304 limestone or #304 stone, is the standard Ohio base stone. It packs tight and carries the load for a patio, parking pad, or the base course under asphalt. Fill dirt, also called fill, handles grading and backfill first, raising low spots before any base stone goes down.

A few more that show up on the same jobs:

• 304 Aggregate Base for the compacted base under pavers, pads, and driveways.
• Screenings for paver and patio bedding, leveling, and firm path surfaces.
• 411 Stone, also called 411 limestone, as topping for gravel drives and bedding under pavers.
• #57 Limestone for drainage, French drains, and drive surfacing, the clean stone size Ohio yards stock most widely.
• Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, for leveling, bedding, and base under slabs.
• RipRap for stream and ditch banks, culvert outlets, and pond edges.

Clean stone is sold by number here, so ask for #57 limestone, #8, or #4, not by inch size. Sand matters too: mason sand for brick and block work and paver joints, gravel sand for leveling and bedding, and washed sand under slabs.
