Bulk Aggregates for Drainage in Jenera, OH

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Jenera, OH, Ohio Rock Supply stocks the stone this part of Hancock County actually uses. The base stone here is 304 limestone. On flat, heavy clay ground, though, the work that decides how a driveway holds up is drainage. That is where washed stone comes in.

Materials for Jenera Projects

Drainage is the first problem on most lots in Jenera. The ground is flat former lake bed, so spring rain and snowmelt sit on the clay until a ditch or field tile takes them away. A French drain, a drywell or a buried downspout run gives that water somewhere to go before it reaches your base.

Those jobs call for clean, washed stone. It has no fines to pack solid, so water moves through the void space instead of pooling on top. Here are the sizes we stock, from coarsest to finest, and what each one does.

• #4 Crushed Stone is the heaviest clean stone we carry. Use it in trench bottoms, construction entrances and as filter stone under rip rap.
• #57 Limestone is the standard drainage stone. It suits French drains, drywells, downspout runs and drive surfacing.
• #8 Crushed Stone is the finer clean stone. It works for pipe bedding, paver joints and tight drainage runs.
• Drain Rock is sized for foundation drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls.
• Screenings are the fine end, from about 1/4 inch down to dust, for paver bedding and leveling.

For a solid base under all of that, start with 304 Aggregate Base. It compacts hard and carries the load. Top a drive with 411 Stone, which packs tight because it carries fines.

Ground and Conditions in Jenera

Timing matters here more than in most places. The clay flats stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground has drained and firmed. Once it does, the season runs into late fall.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. Wet clay holds water close to the surface, so it heaves poorly drained drives, pads and anything set too shallow. That is the case for getting water off the subgrade first. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before you pour or set posts.

Drainage cuts both ways in the northwest part of the state. Spring rain and snowmelt sit on the clay, and heavy rain slumps creek and ditch banks. On sandy beach ridges the ground drains faster, so a drive there needs less undercut work. Send water to a ditch or a drywell, and the base on top of it will last.
