Materials for Lakeville Projects

Erosion control drives most orders here. Coarse stone armors slopes, swales and banks before the next storm. We stock the sizes that do that work, from heaviest to finest.

• RipRap for stream and ditch banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and shoreline protection against storm runoff and wave action.
• Railroad Ballast for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where water moves fast.
• #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage, construction entrances, trench bottoms and filter stone under rip rap.
• #57 Limestone for French drains, gravel drive surfacing and concrete aggregate. Clean stone, no fines.
• 304 Aggregate Base.

Below that, 411 Stone tops a compacted 304 base and beds pavers. Fine work calls for Screenings on patios and paths. Decorative beds take River Rock or Large River Rock.

Delivery to Lakeville and the Surrounding Area

Ohio Rock Supply delivers bulk aggregate across Holmes County. That covers Lakeville plus Millersburg, Killbuck, Glenmont, Holmesville and Baltic. A dump truck backs to your site and drops the load where you point it.

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. If you are unsure how much a base, swale or bed needs, run the numbers through the calculator first. Then pick a delivery date at checkout that matches when your crew or equipment is on site.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Loose ground, low wires and parked vehicles all slow the unload.

Ground and Conditions in Lakeville

Start with the working season. Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips, so cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. The season runs from spring into late fall.

The ground is mostly unglaciated hills with thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Clayey slope debris covers the hillsides. Sand, gravel and silt sit in the flat river bottoms. Steep slopes push rain into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts while low bottoms flood.

Landslides and slumps on clayey slope debris and soft red shale follow heavy or prolonged rain. Stream bank scour works the narrow valleys. That is why coarse stone, not fines, belongs on a slope, in a swale or along a bank. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes and drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.

Questions About Stone in Lakeville

What stone should I use for drainage in Lakeville?

Match the stone to the water. Use #57 limestone for French drains and downspout runs, and #4 crushed stone for heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances. RipRap armors stream banks, ditch banks and culvert outlets. Railroad Ballast handles severe drainage and hard standing. All of these are clean stone, so water passes through instead of pooling.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and mark anything the driver should avoid, such as low wires, septic covers and parked vehicles. Point out the exact spot you want the load. Firm ground helps the truck unload cleanly. If the site is soft from rain, say so when you order.
