Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Hartville, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hartville, OH for driveways, pads and drainage work. The base stone most jobs here start with is 304 limestone, also called #304 limestone. It goes under asphalt and under any driveway or shed pad you build. Hartville sits in Stark County, on glaciated ground where the subsoil drains slowly and the grade often needs lifting first.

Materials for Hartville Projects

Raising grade and building a pad is the work that starts most Hartville jobs. Fill dirt, also called fill, goes down first to level low spots and build the pad up. Then 304 limestone caps it as the sub-base. That order matters, because a base stone spread over soft, low ground will not hold.

Once the pad is set, the material you order depends on the project:

• Driveway: 304 limestone for the base, then 411 limestone as topping. 411 limestone packs tight and gives a firm surface, and 304 Aggregate Base carries the load underneath. 411 Stone also beds pavers.
• Patio or walkway: Screenings for bedding and leveling over a compacted base, with Walkway Gravel for the path surface.
• Drainage: #57 Limestone in French drains and behind walls, with #4 Crushed Stone for heavier trench bottoms and construction entrances.
• Beds and borders: River Rock and Shredded Mulch for cover that holds moisture through summer.

For lawns and beds, Top Soil goes over the heavy clay subsoil common on this ground. A good layer of screened topsoil gives roots something to work in.

Ground and Conditions in Hartville

The ground here is rolling to hilly glaciated terrain. It is silty clay loam till with a dense, slow-draining subsoil layer. Water perches on that layer and collects in low spots, kettle hollows and wetlands. Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash drain freely, but not every lot sits on one.

That is why grade and sub-base come first here. Fill dirt raises low, wet spots so the 304 limestone sits on firm ground instead of pumping. In wet areas, a clean stone drainage layer under the base helps water move.

Cold, snowy winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet till under drives and walks. Local building departments set footing depths, and frost depth runs 38 inches in Summit County and 36 inches or more in Cleveland. Spring ground stays wet until it drains, so base work waits for that, then runs into late fall.

Questions from Hartville Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Hartville?

Start with 304 limestone as the sub-base, compacted, then bed the pavers in screenings. Screenings are fine crushed limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust, and they level and lock the pavers in place. On this ground, get the fill and grade right first so the base sits on firm soil, not wet till.

Do you supply contractors working in Hartville?

Yes. Contractors order online the same way homeowners do, by the ton or the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Materials arrive by dump truck to the site. For pad and sub-base work, 304 limestone and fill dirt cover most jobs, with 411 limestone as the driveway topping and #57 limestone for drainage.
