Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Kensington, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Kensington, OH for two kinds of buyers: contractors building drives and pads, and homeowners fixing up a yard. Both start in the same place, with 304 limestone as the base stone and the right soil on top of it.

The ground here is silty clay loam till with a dense layer underneath, so water sits longer than most people expect. That shapes what you order and how deep it goes.

Materials for Kensington Projects

Grading and bed prep drive most orders here. Before anything else goes down, low spots get raised and the subgrade gets shaped so water has somewhere to go. That is where fill and soil come in, then the stone goes over it.

Fill Dirt levels ruts, backfills around posts and raises a yard before a base goes down. Top Soil comes screened, and a real layer of it matters over the heavy clay subsoil in this part of Ohio. For raised beds and planting areas, Garden Soil gives roots something loose to work in, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through the summer.

Under all of it, 304 limestone is the standard base stone. A 411 limestone top packs tight over that base and leaves a firm drive surface. For drainage, #57 limestone is the clean stone most Ohio suppliers stock, and #8 crushed stone works for pipe bedding and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Kensington

Start with water and where it goes. Rain and snowmelt perch on the dense subsoil layer and collect in kettle hollows and poorly drained low spots. Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash, by contrast, drain freely. Two lots a mile apart can need different answers.

On slow-draining ground, a compacted 304 limestone base needs a clean stone layer beside or under it so water has a path out. #57 limestone and #4 crushed stone both move water, and #4 handles heavier flow at trench bottoms and construction entrances.

Winter makes it harder. Freeze-thaw heaves wet till under drives and walks, and it lifts anything set above the frost line, which local building departments set at 36 inches or more. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, and the season then runs into late fall. Steep valley sides also scour after heavy rain, so bank work calls for rip rap.
