Bulk Gravel Delivery to Hicksville, OH

Planning gravel and aggregate delivery in Hicksville, OH means watching the ground, not just the calendar. The clay flats here stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground drains and firms. Ohio Rock Supply delivers 304 limestone and the rest of your order by the ton, and the season then runs into late fall.

Ground and Conditions in Hicksville

Hicksville sits in Defiance County on the Lake Erie lake plain, a flat former lake bed of heavy, sticky clay and silt. That ground holds water close to the surface, and it heaves poorly drained drives and pads through repeated freeze-thaw.

A thin base shows its weakness fast here. The pad pumps, ruts form at the edges, and pavers rock out of line after a wet spring. The fix is a thicker compacted base and a drainage layer that moves water away instead of trapping it.

Because the plain is so flat, spring rain and snowmelt sit on the clay until ditches and field tile carry them off. Sandier ridges nearby drain faster. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before you set anything shallow.

Materials for Hicksville Projects

Patio and flatwork work starts under the surface. Bedding material decides whether pavers stay flat, and on this clay the bedding only performs over a base that drains.

Start with 304 Aggregate Base, the local 304 limestone. It is the standard Ohio base stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and the base course under asphalt. Compacted in lifts, it gives pavers something that will not move.

Over that base, 411 Stone is the usual bedding. This is 411 limestone, stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines, so it packs tight and holds a screeded bed for pavers and a topping for gravel drives.

For a finer bed, Screenings are limestone screenings from about 1/4 inch down to dust. They are the standard choice for paver and patio bedding, leveling, and firm path surfaces.

Sand bedding is common too. Mason Sand works for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand, while Washed Sand handles leveling and bedding under slabs.

Drainage behind the work matters as much as the bedding. #57 Limestone is the clean stone Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and it suits French drains, driveway surfacing and concrete aggregate. Where a slightly smaller clean stone is wanted, #67 Stone covers drainage and concrete work.
