Bulk Aggregates for Patios in McConnelsville, OH

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in McConnelsville, OH and skip the trip. Ohio Rock Supply sells bulk material online by the ton or yard and drops it at your site. Start your patio with 304 limestone, the base stone this market specifies. Hillside ground here sheds water fast, so what sits under your pavers decides how they hold up.

Ground and Conditions in McConnelsville

Skip base depth and your patio tells on you. Pavers rock, joints open and edges sink within a season or two.

Mostly unglaciated hills carry thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Clayey slope debris sits on the hillsides. That clay holds water, and water under a thin bed softens it fast.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain into narrow valleys. Runoff scours ditches and culverts, and low bottoms flood. Seepage from hillsides softens cuts and fills. Landslides and slumps follow heavy or prolonged rain, along with stream bank scour in those valleys.

Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. The season runs spring into late fall. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.

Materials for McConnelsville Projects

Bedding is the whole game under pavers and flatwork. Pick the layer that packs and drains, and the surface above it stays put.

Lead with 304 Aggregate Base, the standard Ohio base stone. Contractors here call it 304 limestone, #304 stone or #304. It compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer that carries pavers, parking pads and shed bases, and it sits under asphalt as the base course.

Cap that base with 411 Stone, sold as 411 limestone. Stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines packs tight over a 304 base, which makes it a good topping for gravel drives and parking areas and a bedding layer under pavers.

Then lock the joints and level the surface.

• Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, run from about 1/4 inch down to dust. Use them for paver and patio bedding, leveling and firm path surfaces.
• Mason Sand fills brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.
• Washed Sand, or concrete sand, handles leveling, bedding and base under slabs.
• Garden Soil and Top Soil finish the beds and lawn around the patio. Screened topsoil matters over heavy clay subsoil.

Drainage stone belongs in the same order. #57 Limestone covers French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate, and it is the clean stone size Ohio suppliers stock most widely.
