Order 304 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Jackson County, OH
Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Jackson County, OH for two kinds of buyers. Contractors order 304 limestone by the load for drives, pads and pavement base. Homeowners order a few tons of the same stone for a shed base or a muddy lane.
This is hill country, with thin soils over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock and clayey slope debris on the hillsides. That ground shapes what you order and how deep it goes.
Ground conditions across Jackson County
Rain and snowmelt run off steep slopes fast and drop into narrow valleys. That runoff scours ditches and culverts, and the flat river bottoms flood when the water stacks up.
Water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills, so a drive built into a slope can settle. Clayey slope debris and soft red shale slide after heavy or prolonged rain. Stream banks scour in the narrow valleys.
So drainage comes before surface. A clean stone layer under and beside a base moves water off the subgrade instead of letting it sit.
Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts. 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.
Materials delivered in Jackson County
You will see base stone, clean stone, sand and soil sold under local names here.
304 limestone is the one to understand first. It is crushed limestone with fines, so it compacts into a firm, tight base rather than staying loose.
Order it for a new drive build, a parking pad, a shed base, or the layer under asphalt. Where a drive meets a slope, the base and the drainage around it decide how the surface holds up.
Delivery across Jackson County
Bulk material arrives by dump truck and is tipped at the site. You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout.
Size the load with the calculator before you order. It takes your area and depth and turns that into a quantity, which is easier than guessing at the pile you need.
Have the drop spot ready. Pick ground that is firm enough to carry a loaded truck, clear of wires, low branches and parked vehicles, and close to where the material will be worked. If the only access is a slope or a soft lane, say so at checkout so the driver knows what to expect.
Delivery covers Jackson, Wellston, Oak Hill and the surrounding parts of the county. If your site sits at the end of a long gravel lane or on a hillside cut, the same note applies: tell us the access so the drop goes where you want it.
Choosing the right material
Start with what the ground does with water. On a hillside, water arrives fast and leaves fast, so a clean stone drainage layer under the base does more work than a thicker surface. In the flat river bottoms, water sits, so drainage stone and a raised base matter more.
Ross County shares this ground: unglaciated hills, thin to moderately deep soils over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, clayey slope debris on the hillsides, and sand, gravel and silt in the flat bottoms. The material choice is much the same as here. The projects differ, with more driveway topping and bank work around the hill cuts.
Scioto County sits in the same zone, so the ground is similar and the base and drainage logic carries over. Expect the same mix of hillside drives and bottomland pads.
Lawrence County is in the same hill country zone too. Same soils, same clayey slope debris, same sand and gravel in the bottoms. If you know what worked on a drive there, it will translate here.
Within the county, the split is simpler. A new drive or pad needs 304 limestone as the base with 411 limestone on top. A wet spot needs clean stone, so #57 limestone, #8 crushed stone or #4 crushed stone depending on the gap you are filling.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?
Crushed stone is angular and locks together when it compacts, which is why 304 limestone and #57 limestone work as base and drainage layers. Natural Pea Gravel is small rounded natural stone.
Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?
Either works, and the calculator handles the conversion for you. Enter the area and depth of your project and it returns a quantity you can order in tons or yards. That is the safest way to size a load, because it uses your real measurements instead of a guess.
