Ground and Conditions in Martinsburg

A thin base shows itself fast on this ground. Pavers rock, joints open, and edges settle after a wet spring. The cause is usually the subsoil, not the stone.

Glaciated plateau ground runs to silty clay loam till with a dense layer underneath. Water perches on that layer and collects in low spots. Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash drain freely, so two sites a mile apart can behave differently.

Freeze-thaw works the same ground all winter. Wet till heaves under drives and walks and lifts anything set above the frost line. Frost depth runs 38 inches in Summit County and 36 inches or more in Cleveland, set by each local building department.

The working season follows the soil. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the ground drains, and the season then runs into late fall. Build the base for the drainage you have, and the patio holds.

Materials for Martinsburg Projects

Bedding is where a patio is won. Get the layers right and the surface stays flat for years.

Base and Bedding

Start with 304 Aggregate Base. It is the standard base stone for driveways, parking pads and shed bases, and the base course under asphalt. Compact it in lifts and it locks up hard.

Set pavers on Screenings. Limestone screenings run from about 1/4 inch down to dust, so they bed a paver and fill the joint. Use them for patio bedding, leveling and firm path surfaces.

For a sand bed, Mason Sand is the mason's choice. It beds brick and block, fills paver joints and doubles as play sand. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Where you want a coarser blend, Washed Sand mixes coarse sand and fine gravel for leveling and bedding.

Drainage and Edging

Clean stone by number handles water. #57 Limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and it suits French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate. #8 Crushed Stone works finer drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. #4 Crushed Stone takes heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.

Armor any bank that scours. RipRap holds stream and ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against storm runoff.
