Fill Dirt Delivery for McClure, OH

How do you raise a low, wet lot in McClure so a shed or driveway actually holds up? You build the grade with fill dirt first, then cap it with 304 limestone. Ohio Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in McClure, OH to that kind of job, and the local ground tells you why it matters.

This part of Henry County is flat former lake bed, heavy clay and silt that holds spring water until the ditches take it. Fill and base are how you get a pad above that.

Materials for McClure Projects

Most work here starts below the surface. A lot that sits low, or one where the clay never dries, needs fill and compacted base before anything decorative goes on top. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills, and 304 limestone, also called #304 limestone, is the base course that carries the load over it.

• Fill Dirt: grading, leveling, backfill and raising low spots before a 304 base goes down.
• 304 Aggregate Base: the 304 limestone base course under a driveway, parking pad or asphalt.
• 411 Stone: 411 limestone topping for a gravel drive or bedding under pavers.
• #57 Limestone: clean stone up to about the size Ohio suppliers call #57, for drainage and drive surfacing.
• Top Soil: screened topsoil for lawns and beds once the grade is where you want it.

For a driveway, build the pad with fill, compact 304 limestone over it, then top with 411 limestone. For a patio, 304 limestone base followed by screenings as the bedding layer. For drainage, #57 limestone or #4 stone in the trench.

Ground and Conditions in McClure

Heavy, sticky clay and silt under a flat former lake bed is the whole story here. Rain and snowmelt sit on the surface until ditches and field tile move them along. That is why an under-built base fails: the water has nowhere to go, and the stone sinks into soft ground.

Build the base to spread the load, and give water a path out of the pad. On the sandier beach ridges the ground drains faster, but the clay flats are the ones that catch people out.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and wet clay holds water close to the surface, so it heaves poorly drained drives and pads. Set footing depth to the figure your local building department gives you. Clay flats stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground firms up, then runs into late fall.

Along rivers, creeks and drainage ditches, heavy rain causes bank slumping and scour. Rip rap armors those banks and culvert outlets.

Questions McClure Buyers Ask

What is the best base under pavers in McClure?

Compacted 304 limestone is the base course that carries the load over the clay. Bed the pavers themselves in screenings, which pack tight and level. Building on bare clay without that base is what leads to settling, so put the depth of base in before the bedding layer.

Yes. Contractors order the same way, online, by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. Bulk loads arrive by dump truck to the site in McClure and the rest of Henry County. The calculator on each product sizes the load so your crew is not short mid-job.
