Buy 304 Limestone in Lewistown, OH

If you are planning a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base in Lewistown, OH, the load starts with 304 limestone. Ohio Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Lewistown, OH by the ton, and 304 is the base stone most of Logan County is built on.

Clay loam ground makes the base course matter here. Get the 304 right and the stone above it stays put.

Materials for Lewistown Projects

Most drives around Lewistown are built in two lifts. A compacted lift of 304 Aggregate Base carries the load, then a finer stone on top gives you the running surface.

For that top course, 411 limestone is the standard Ohio choice. Stone up to about an inch mixed with fines packs tight over a 304 base. Order it as 411 Stone for driveway and parking area topping, or as bedding under pavers.

Where water has to move instead of sit, clean stone by number is what Ohio yards stock. #57 Limestone handles drainage, French drains and drive surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone is the finer clean stone for pipe bedding and paver joints.

Bedding and finishing material rounds out a job. Screenings, mason sand and washed sand each do a different part of the work.

Decorative work is the same yard, different pile. River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel cover beds and walkways, and shredded mulch holds moisture through summer heat.

Ground and Conditions in Lewistown

This part of Ohio sits on glacial till, clay loam to silty clay over gently rolling ground. The bigger valleys hold sand and gravel that drain fast; the flats between the low moraine ridges do not.

That clayey till drains slowly. After spring rain and snowmelt, water ponds in flat swales and low spots until a ditch, tile or dry weather clears it. A drive built on saturated clay will not compact, and it will pump and rut the first wet spring.

So the base work is about getting water off the pad. A compacted 304 lift on dry ground, with a clean stone drainage edge where the grade allows, keeps the surface intact.

Cold winters add repeated freeze-thaw. Wet clay heaves under drives and patios, and it lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth runs 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring and runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so a March driveway pour is usually a waste of stone.

Erosion is the other local driver. Stream and ditch banks scour after heavy rain, bare graded soil washes, and steep river valley sides slump. Rip rap and large river rock armor those banks and culvert outlets.
