Start with 304 limestone for base. Medina sits on glaciated ground, so plan for slow-draining subsoil under your patio.

Ground and Conditions in Medina

Thin base shows fast here. Set pavers on too little stone and the edges sink, joints open, and water pools in the dips.

Medina sits on glaciated ground in northeast Ohio. Silty clay loam till sits over a dense subsoil that drains slowly. Water perches on that layer and collects in low spots.

Fix it with depth and drainage. Cut out the soft till, bring in compacted 304 limestone, and let water leave the base. Poly sand or open joints finish it.

Freeze-thaw works the same way. Wet till heaves under drives and walks, and lifts anything set above the frost line. Local building departments set frost depth at 38 inches in Summit County and 36 inches or more in Cleveland. Check with Medina officials for your footing depth.

Timing matters too. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains. The season then runs into late fall.

Materials for Medina Projects

Patio bedding is where most homeowners start, and the wrong material shows up first. Set pavers on the right bed and the surface stays flat.

Screenings are the go-to bedding under pavers and patio slabs. Fine crushed limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust packs tight and levels clean. Screened topsoil comes later for the beds around the edge.

Mason sand works for brick and block work, paver joints, and play sand. Its grains are uniform, so joints fill evenly and stay put.

Washed sand beds and levels under slabs. Use it for a level plane before concrete or large-format pavers go down.

Every patio needs a base under the bedding. 304 Aggregate Base, the local term for 304 limestone, is the standard Ohio base stone. It compacts hard and carries the load.

#57 Limestone handles drainage and French drains. It is clean stone, so water moves through instead of sitting.

#8 Crushed Stone fills paver joints and pipe bedding. Smaller clean stone for tight spots and fine drainage.
