Laura sits on clayey till that drains slowly, so a lot of the work here is moving water away from a building or a drive.

Materials for Laura Projects

Drainage is the job in this part of Miami County. Clay holds spring rain and snowmelt in the flat swales, so washed stone and clean stone by number do the heavy lifting. Here are the sizes we stock, coarsest to finest.

Coarse stone for heavy drainage

#4 Crushed Stone is the big clean stone for trench bottoms, construction entrances and filter stone under rip rap. Railroad Ballast goes in where drainage has to be severe, like hard standing or a track bed.

#57 Limestone is the clean stone Ohio yards stock most widely, and it is the standard pick for French drains, downspout runs and driveway surfacing. #67 Stone does the same work where a slightly smaller clean stone fits better.

Fine clean stone and bedding

#8 Crushed Stone handles fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. Drain Rock is the general-purpose choice for foundation drains and drainage behind a wall.

For a drywell or a downspout run, clean washed stone lets water move instead of sitting. #89 Crushed Stone is the small clean stone for tight bedding and fine drainage.

Base, topping and decorative

411 Stone, or 411 limestone, is the topping that packs tight over it.

Screenings bed pavers and firm up a path. Natural Pea Gravel and River Rock finish beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Laura

Timing matters more than anything else here. Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring, and it runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so a load dumped on wet ground in February often sits until it dries.

That slow-draining till is also why drainage stone earns its place on the order. Water ponds in the low spots after spring rain and snowmelt until a ditch, tile or drywell clears it, while the sand and gravel in the river valleys drain quickly on their own.

Erosion shows up on stream and ditch banks after heavy rain, and on bare graded soil before anything is planted. Rip rap armors a bank or culvert outlet, and a dry creek bed of river rock moves runoff without scouring.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth runs 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department, so check with yours before you set footings.

Questions from Laura Buyers

Do you deliver 304 limestone to Laura, OH?

Yes. Ohio Rock Supply delivers 304 limestone. Order online, enter your quantity by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. It is the standard base stone for a driveway, parking pad, shed base or the base course under asphalt.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Laura?

Start with 304 limestone for the base, since it compacts into a firm layer over the clayey till here. Top it with 411 limestone, which packs tight and sheds water off the surface. If the drive needs drainage instead of a wearing course, #57 limestone in a French drain or along the edge moves water away.
