What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone has angular, broken faces, so it locks together and compacts. That makes 304 limestone, #57 limestone and #8 crushed stone the choice for bases, drives and drainage. Natural Pea Gravel is small rounded natural stone. It stays loose underfoot, which suits play areas, dog runs, pipe backfill and walkways, but it will not carry a drive the way crushed stone does.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work, and it depends on how you measured the job. Sand, soil and mulch are often easier to figure by the yard, while crushed stone and gravel are commonly ordered by the ton. If you are unsure, enter your measurements in the calculator and it converts the load for you, so you can order the quantity you need.

For gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Logan County, OH, Ohio Rock Supply stocks the materials local crews ask for by name. Start with 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone for drives, pads and pavement sub-base. The ground here is glacial till, clay loam over gently rolling land with low moraine ridges, so what you put under a drive matters as much as what you put on top.

Alongside 304 limestone we carry clean stone by number, sand, soil, fill and decorative rock. Order online, size the load by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials Delivered in Logan County

Most orders here start with a base course, then a clean stone or sand for drainage and bedding, then soil or decorative rock to finish. Here is how the families break down.

304 limestone is the one to order first on most jobs. It is a crushed limestone blend with fines that compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer. Order it for a new drive, a parking pad, a shed base, or the base course under asphalt.

Above that base, 411 limestone works as a gravel drive topping, and clean stone like #67 Stone, #89 Crushed Stone and Drain Rock handles water where it needs to move. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, and RipRap armors banks where runoff hits hard.

Ground Conditions Across Logan County

Water is the driver here. Clayey till drains slowly, so after spring rain and snowmelt, water ponds in flat swales and low spots until ditches, tile or dry weather clears it. That shapes what you order and when you can build.

Plan on a base that sheds water, not one that traps it. Clean stone under and around a structure moves water away, and 304 limestone compacts into a firm base only when the subgrade under it is not saturated. On low, flat ground, drainage stone is part of the job, not an extra.

Valley sand and gravel drain quickly, while stream and ditch banks scour after heavy rain. Bare graded soil washes, and steep river valley sides slump. Rip rap and larger stone armor those banks and culvert outlets.

Timing matters too. 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 load dropped on wet ground often waits.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department. That figure is a footing depth set by the building official, not a gravel base rule.

Choosing the Right Material

The right material shifts as you cross into neighboring counties. Union County to the south sits in Central Ohio, in the same till plains ground zone as Logan County, so the ground is similar and the material choices tend to match. The difference is usually the project mix rather than the soil.

Shelby County and Auglaize County share that same till plains zone as well, with clay loam over rolling ground, moraine ridges and wet swales between them. Where the ground is the same, the base and drainage answer is the same: a compacted 304 limestone base with clean stone for water.

So the comparison comes down to what you are building. A new drive in Bellefontaine gets 304 limestone topped with 411 limestone or driveway gravel, the same as a drive in a neighboring county on similar ground. A low, wet swale calls for drainage stone and a base that stays firm. A steep valley bank calls for rip rap. Match the material to the water and the load, and the county line rarely changes the answer.
