304 Limestone, Sand and Gravel Delivery in Hocking County, OH
Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Hocking County, OH. If you are building a driveway up a hillside, setting a patio base, or running a drainage line, it starts with 304 limestone. This is unglaciated hill country, so thin soil sits over sandstone and shale and clayey slope debris. That ground moves when it stays wet, and it decides what goes under your project.
Order online, pick your ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to the site on the date you choose.
Materials Delivered in Hocking County
Start with 304 limestone, also called #304 limestone, #304 stone. It is the standard Ohio base stone: crushed limestone with fines that compacts into a firm, tight layer. It is what you order under asphalt, under a parking pad, and under a shed.
On top of that base. Stone up to about an inch mixes with fines so it packs tight over 304.
Sand and soil round out most orders. Washed sand beds and levels under slabs, mason sand goes into brick, block and paver joints, and top soil rebuilds a lawn or bed after the digging is done.
Delivery Across Hocking County
You order online and size the load yourself. Decide whether tons or yards make more sense for the job, then run the numbers through the calculator on the product page. That keeps the load matched to the area you are covering instead of guessing high or short.
At checkout you pick a delivery date, and a dump truck brings the material to the site. Bulk delivery means a truck has to reach the pile spot, so think about where it can turn around and whether the ground will hold it. We deliver across the county, including Logan, Laurelville, Rockbridge and South Bloomingville.
Ground Conditions Across Hocking County
Steep slopes here shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys. That runoff scours ditches and culverts, and the low river bottoms flood and stay soft. Water also seeps out of hillsides, softening cuts and fills. A thin base shows it first: ruts, pumping, and edges that give way after a wet stretch.
The fix is a compacted 304 limestone base built to the depth your job needs, plus a drainage layer where water wants to sit. On hillsides, put clean stone to work. #4 crushed stone handles trench bottoms and heavy drainage, and rip rap armors the ditch and stream banks that take the scouring.
Landslides and slumps are a real risk on steep clayey slopes and soft red shale after heavy or prolonged rain. Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips, so cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. The working season runs from spring into late fall. 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.
Choosing the Right Material
Next door in Fairfield County and Pickaway County, the ground is glacial till over gently rolling plains, with low moraine ridges, flat wet swales and sand and gravel in the larger river valleys. There the base and drainage work is often about wet, flat pockets and soft swales. In Hocking County you are working slopes, thin soil and runoff, so base depth and drainage carry more of the load.
Athens County shares this county's ground zone: unglaciated hills, thin to moderately deep soils, clayey slope debris and river-bottom sand and gravel. The ground is similar, so the comparison comes down to typical projects. A hillside drive or a drainage run into a narrow valley takes the same 304 limestone base, the same clean stone for drainage, and the same rip rap on the banks.
