Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Lockbourne, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Lockbourne, OH. Spring is the busiest window here. Base and driveway work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out, then runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so timing matters as much as the material. Most projects start with 304 limestone, the standard base stone in this part of Ohio.

Materials for Lockbourne Projects

Driveways and parking pads are the bulk of the work around Lockbourne, and they are built in layers. A base course goes down first, then a topping that packs tight on top of it.

• 304 Aggregate Base, known locally as 304 limestone or #304 stone. This is the base course under asphalt and the structural layer under a drive or shed pad.
• 411 Stone, also called 411 limestone. Stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines, used as a topping over a 304 base and as bedding under pavers.
• #57 Limestone. Clean stone for drainage, French drains and drive surfacing. Ohio suppliers stock this size heavily.
• Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust. Fine crushed limestone for paver and patio bedding, leveling and firm path surfaces.
• Top Soil. Screened or pulverized, for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay subsoil.

For a hard-wearing drive, the usual pairing is 304 limestone as the base and 411 limestone as the top. Clean stone such as #8 Crushed Stone or #4 Crushed Stone goes where water has to move rather than where a surface has to carry a truck.

Ground and Conditions in Lockbourne

Lockbourne sits on the Western and central Ohio till plains. The ground is glacial till, clay loam to silty clay, over gently rolling land with low moraine ridges and flat wet swales between them.

Clayey till drains slowly. After spring rain and snowmelt, water sits in those flat swales and low spots until ditches, tile or dry weather clears it. That is the first thing to plan around on a drive or pad. Water that stays under a base softens it and the surface moves.

Sand and gravel in the larger river valleys drain quickly, so ground near the valleys behaves differently from the flats. Heavy rain also scours stream and ditch banks and washes bare graded soil, and steep valley sides can slump. Rip rap and clean stone are how those edges get held.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth in this region runs to 32 inches, and each local building department sets it. Base work also has to wait for thawed, dry ground.
