Bulk Gravel Delivery to Hillsboro, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hillsboro, OH, from 304 limestone to topsoil and decorative stone. The local name for the base stone here is 304 limestone, and it is what most drive, pad and shed work starts with. Around Hillsboro you are working on old, deeply weathered silty soils over a dense subsoil, so what goes under a patio matters as much as what sits on top.

Ground and Conditions in Hillsboro

A patio, walkway or driveway that is built thin over the wrong base shows it fast in this part of Highland County. Water perches on the dense subsoil of the flat uplands, so seasonal wetness and ponding sit under a slab or paver field long after the rain stops.

The practical consequence is that bedding alone will not carry flatwork. You need a compacted base course under the bedding, and you need the subgrade to drain. On the steep hillsides toward the river valleys, runoff sheds fast and clayey till or thin soil over soft shale moves during long wet spells.

Timing matters too. Extended wet weather saturates both the flat uplands and the hillsides, so base and fill work goes best once the ground has drained. Hillside cuts carry the most risk after a long rainy stretch. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet, poorly drained drives and pads, and frost depth runs 30 inches in Cincinnati and Clermont County, set by each local building department.

Materials for Hillsboro Projects

Bedding is where patio and flatwork jobs are won, and the material you bed on depends on what sits above it. Fine, angular limestone packs tight and holds a paver or slab level, while clean stone lets water move instead of trapping it.

Start with 304 Aggregate Base. 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 and slabs something that will not settle.

Over that base, set bedding. Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, run from about 1/4 inch down to dust. That is the material for paver and patio bedding, leveling and firm path surfaces.

Under pavers and around a slab edge, Mason Sand fills joints and beds brick and block. Where a slab or patio needs leveling and bedding over a prepared base, Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, is the choice.

Give the water somewhere to go. #57 Limestone is clean stone for drainage, French drains, gravel drive surfacing and concrete aggregate. For a slightly smaller clean stone, #8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.
