Fill Dirt Delivery for Madison, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Madison, OH, and most of the work here starts with fill and base. The ground on the glaciated plateau runs to silty clay loam till with a tight subsoil underneath, so low spots and soft pads need material brought in before anything gets built on top.

304 limestone is the base stone this market specifies. It goes under driveways, parking pads and shed floors, and it carries the asphalt base course. Fill first, then 304 over it, then your surface.

Delivery to Madison and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard, whichever you work in. The calculator sizes the load if you are unsure how much a pad or drive will take. Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site in Madison.

Madison sits in Lake County, and we deliver across the county, including Mentor, Willoughby, Painesville, Eastlake and Wickliffe. Bulk loads are dumped where the truck can reach, so think about where you want the pile before the truck arrives.

Materials for Madison Projects

Fill and sub-base do the heavy work on most jobs here. You raise grade with fill, then cap it with a compacted stone base that sheds water and holds a load. That order matters more than the material brand on the ticket.

• Fill Dirt for grading, leveling, backfill and raising low spots before a 304 base goes down.
• 304 Aggregate Base, the 304 limestone that acts as the standard Ohio base stone under drives and asphalt.
• 411 Stone, the 411 limestone topping that packs tight over a 304 base on gravel drives and parking areas.
• #57 Limestone for drainage, French drains and drive surfacing, the clean stone size Ohio suppliers stock most widely.
• Top Soil, sold screened or pulverized, for lawn and bed prep over heavy clay subsoil.

What to order by project

Ground and Conditions in Madison

The subsoil under a lot of this ground is dense and drains slowly. Water perches on that layer and collects in kettle hollows and poorly drained low spots. Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash drain freely, so two lots a mile apart can behave very differently.

An under-built base shows up fast on slow-draining clay. The stone punches down into soft ground and the surface ruts. Excavate to firm soil, bring grade up with fill where you need it, then compact the 304 in lifts before the topping goes on.

Erosion is another local factor. Stream and ravine banks scour on steep valley sides after heavy rain, and slide-prone clays turn up in places like the Cuyahoga Valley. Riprap armors culvert outlets and ditch banks against that runoff.

Winter sets the working calendar. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, and the season then runs into late fall. Freeze-thaw heaves wet till under drives and walks, and local building departments set footing depth from frost depth, which runs 36 inches or more in Cleveland.
