Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Jefferson County, OH. Start with the calculator to size your load, then pick the material. Most jobs here begin with 304 limestone.

At checkout you pick a delivery date that works for your schedule. A dump truck then brings the material to your site and drops it where you want it. That covers Steubenville, Toronto, Mingo Junction, Tiltonsville, Brilliant, Dillonvale, Richmond, Bergholz, Yorkville, Adena, Rayland, Amsterdam, Irondale and Bloomingdale.
Bulk delivery suits drive builds, drainage runs, paver patios and grading jobs. If you are working a steep lot, tell us where the truck should drop so the pile stays usable.

Stone is sold here by number, the way Ohio suppliers do it. Sizes run from coarse base stone down to fine bedding material. Here is what each one is good for.
304 limestone carries the most weight on local jobs. It is a mix of stone and fines that compacts into a hard, stable base. Contractors here order it for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and the course under asphalt.
411 limestone is the topping. It runs up to about 1 inch with fines, so it packs tight over a 304 base. Use it on gravel drives and parking areas, or as bedding under pavers. For clean stone, #57 limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and #8 and #4 cover finer and heavier drainage work. Screenings and topsoil round out most orders.
Ground conditions across Jefferson County
This is hill country. Soils are thin to moderately deep, weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides. The flat river bottoms hold sand, gravel and silt instead.
Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys. That runoff scours ditches and culverts, and the low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides also softens cuts and fills, which is where a clean drainage layer earns its place.
Landslides and slumps happen on steep hillsides of clayey slope debris and soft red shale after heavy or prolonged rain. Stream bank scour follows in the narrow valleys. RipRap on banks and culvert outlets helps hold those edges.
Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather, so 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
Belmont and Carroll counties share this ground zone, mostly unglaciated hills with thin to moderately deep soils and clayey slope debris. The same base and drainage choices carry over. Typical projects there look like the ones here: drive builds, drainage runs and slope work.
Columbiana County spans more than one zone. Part of it sits in the glaciated plateau of northeast and east-central Ohio, and part in this same hill country. On the glaciated side, ground is often less steep, so a straightforward 304 limestone base and a standard drainage layer may cover the job. On the hill side, plan for slope runoff the way you would here.
Match the material to the job. Use 304 limestone under anything paved or parked on. Top it with 411 limestone on a gravel drive. Reach for #57 limestone or #4 crushed stone where water has to move, and screenings where you need a firm, fine surface under pavers.
