Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Lindsey, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lindsey, OH, and most orders here start with dirt work. You are leveling a low spot, building up a bed, or prepping ground for a driveway, and that takes fill dirt and topsoil before any 304 limestone shows up. This is flat former lake bed ground, so the grading plan matters as much as the stone.

Materials for Lindsey Projects

The soil side comes first on most jobs in this county. Fill dirt raises low spots and backfills before a base goes down, and screened topsoil goes on top for lawns and beds. On heavy clay subsoil, a real layer of topsoil is what gets roots started.

For planting areas, garden soil fills raised beds and keeps them workable through a wet spring. Shredded mulch holds moisture in beds and around tree rings when summer heat sets in.

Base and washed stone carry the rest of the work. 304 limestone is the standard Ohio base stone for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. On top of a compacted 304 base, 411 limestone packs tight as a driveway topping and as bedding under pavers.

Clean stone by number handles water. #57 limestone, #8 crushed stone and #4 crushed stone cover drainage runs, pipe bedding and construction entrances. For bedding under pavers and firm path surfaces, screenings are the fine crushed limestone that levels and locks in.

• Fill Dirt for grading, leveling and backfill before a base.
• Top Soil for lawn and bed prep over clay subsoil.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.
• 304 Aggregate Base, the standard base course under drives and pads.
• #57 Limestone for drainage, French drains and drive surfacing.

Ground and Conditions in Lindsey

Sandusky County sits on flat former lake bed, and the soil is heavy, sticky clay and silt. Spring rain and snowmelt sit on that clay until ditches and field tile move the water along, and the low sandy beach ridges drain faster than the flats around them.

That changes how you build. A driveway or pad over wet clay needs a base that sheds water instead of holding it, which is why 304 limestone and a clean drainage stone like #57 limestone work together here. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and wet clay holds water close to the surface, so poorly drained drives and pads heave. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure.

Clay flats stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground has drained and firmed. The season then runs into late fall. Along the creeks, ditches and drainage channels, heavy rain drives bank slumping and scour, and rip rap armors those banks, culvert outlets and pond edges.

What stone should I use for drainage in Lindsey?

Use clean stone by number, not a base stone with fines. #57 limestone is the size most Ohio suppliers stock for French drains, downspout runs and drive surfacing, and #4 crushed stone handles heavy drainage and trench bottoms. For pipe bedding and paver joints, #8 crushed stone is the finer clean option. Rip rap armors ditch banks and culvert outlets where runoff scours.
