Bulk Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Ohio

Ohio Rock Supply handles bulk gravel and aggregate delivery across Ohio, and the stone most Ohio jobs start with is 304 limestone. It is the standard base stone here, and it goes under drives, parking pads, shed floors and asphalt. Ohio ground makes that base matter. Much of the state sits on heavy clay and slow-draining till, so an under-built base holds water and moves. Order the right stone the first time.

Materials Delivered Across Ohio

Order by project type. A driveway, a patio and a drain each call for different material, and the local names below are the ones Ohio suppliers and crews use.

304 limestone is the Ohio base course. It is a mix of crushed limestone and fines that compacts hard. Order it first for any job that carries weight.

411 limestone is stabilized crushed aggregate. It packs tight over a 304 base and works as a driveway topping or as bedding under pavers. Clean stone is sold by number here, the way Ohio suppliers do it. #67 Stone, #89 Crushed Stone and Drain Rock cover the rest of the drainage work, from French drains to downspout runs. For sand, Mason Sand handles brick and block work and paver joints, and Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. On top of that, Fill Dirt raises low spots before a 304 base goes down.

Ground and Climate Across Ohio

Ohio ground changes a lot from one corner to the next, and the base depth you plan has to follow the soil under it.

• Lake Erie lake plain (Toledo to Lorain). Flat former lake bed of heavy, sticky clay and silt, including the old Great Black Swamp country in Northwest Ohio, broken in places by low sandy beach ridges and sand plains. Water stands longest here.
• Western and central Ohio till plains. Glacial till of clay loam to silty clay over gently rolling ground, with low moraine ridges, flat wet swales between them, and sand and gravel in the larger river valleys.
• Glaciated plateau of northeast and east-central Ohio. Rolling to hilly glaciated ground of silty clay loam till with a dense, slow-draining subsoil layer, sand and gravel knolls and outwash in many valleys, and shale or sandstone close to the surface on some hills.
• Southeast and southern Ohio hill country. Mostly unglaciated hills with thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, clayey slope debris on the hillsides, and sand, gravel and silt in the flat river bottoms.
• Southwest Ohio river hills and old till uplands. Old, deeply weathered silty glacial soils with a dense, slow-draining subsoil on the flat uplands, and clayey till or thin soils over soft shale and limestone on the steep hillsides toward the Ohio River.

Drainage is the reason 304 limestone and clean stone matter so much in Central Ohio, the Miami Valley and the till plains, where water perches on dense subsoil. In Northwest Ohio, flat clay flats hold spring water and push work back after the thaw, and lake-effect snow does the same in Northeast Ohio. In Southeast Ohio, the risk runs the other way: steep slopes shed water fast into narrow valleys, and long wet spells can move ground. Frost depth is set by each local building department. It runs deepest in the north and northeast, at 36 inches in Lucas County and 38 in Summit County, 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, and 30 inches around Cincinnati. Confirm the local figure before you dig footings or posts.
