Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Lewisville, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lewisville, OH for two kinds of buyers. Contractors working hillside sites order 304 limestone by the load, and homeowners doing a drive, a bed or a low spot order the same materials in smaller amounts. Both groups face the same ground here.

Monroe County sits in unglaciated hill country, where thin soils over sandstone and shale change how a base has to be built. The material choice matters as much as the tonnage.

Materials for Lewisville Projects

Most work in this county starts with grading and bed prep, so soil and fill come first. Get the subgrade right and every layer above it behaves better.

Fill Dirt raises low spots and brings a pad or a driveway up to grade before any stone goes down. On a sloped lot, that step decides how much base you need. Top Soil goes down last for lawns and beds, and screened or pulverized topsoil is worth asking for over heavy clay subsoil. Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas where a lawn mix will not do.

Base stone comes next. 304 Aggregate Base is the local 304 limestone. It locks up under a driveway, a parking pad or a shed floor. 411 Stone tops a compacted 304 base on a gravel drive, and its fines help it pack tight.

Washed stone handles water. #57 Limestone is the clean size Ohio suppliers stock most for French drains and drive surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone suits pipe bedding and paver joints, and #4 Crushed Stone takes on heavy drainage and trench bottoms.

For bedding and finish work, Mason Sand and Washed Sand cover block work, paver joints and leveling under slabs, while Screenings firm up a path or a patio base. Decorative beds take River Rock or Natural Pea Gravel.

Ground and Conditions in Lewisville

Start with where the water goes. Steep hillsides shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts and low bottoms flood. Water seeping out of a hillside softens cuts and fills from underneath.

That shapes drainage choices. Clean stone like #57 limestone or #8 crushed stone lets water move instead of trapping it, so a French drain or a downspout run stays useful. Rip rap armors a ditch bank or a culvert outlet where fast water does the damage.

The soils are clayey slope debris and soft red shale. After long wet spells, hillsides slip and slump, and stream banks scour. Frost adds to it: repeated freeze-thaw pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes and on drives built into hillsides.

Timing matters as much as material. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes go best in drier weather, and the working season runs from spring into late fall. Build on wet clay and you compact trouble into the subgrade.

For footings and posts, frost depth is set by each local building department. Confirm the local figure before you dig.

Clean stone is the right call here. #57 limestone is the common choice for French drains and drive surfacing, with #8 crushed stone for pipe bedding and tighter work.
