Order 304 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Medina County, OH

For gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Medina County, OH, start with the load calculator and size your tonnage before you pick a material. Ohio Rock Supply runs bulk trucks to Brunswick, Medina, Wadsworth and the rest of the county. Most jobs here begin with 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone, because the ground under it is rolling glaciated till with a dense, slow-draining subsoil layer.

Figure your square footage, choose a depth, and the calculator turns it into tons. From there you pick the stone and a delivery date at checkout.

Ground conditions across Medina County

Plan around the working season first. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, and the season then runs into late fall. That window shapes when you schedule a delivery.

The soil is silty clay loam till with a dense layer underneath that water perches on. Low spots, kettle hollows and wetlands stay wet long after a rain, so a drainage layer matters as much as the base itself.

Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash drain freely, which is why two jobs a mile apart can call for different prep. On the hills, shale or sandstone sits close to the surface.

Erosion runs with the terrain. Stream and ravine banks scour and slip on steep valley sides after heavy rain, and slide-prone clays show up in places such as the Cuyahoga Valley. Cold, snowy winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet till 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.

Materials delivered in Medina County

Materials are organized coarsest to finest below, with what each size is good for.

304 limestone is the one to start with. It is crushed stone with fines that compacts into a tight, stable layer. Order it for a driveway base, a parking pad, a shed base, or the course under asphalt.

411 limestone is the topping that goes over that base. Stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines, so it packs tight. Use it on gravel drives and parking areas and for bedding under pavers.

Choosing the right material

Start with the ground under the job, then pick the stone. Lorain County sits on the Lake Erie lake plain, a flat former lake bed of heavy, sticky clay and silt. Base work there needs more attention to what drains, so clean stone such as #57 limestone does more of the work and a compacted base holds moisture longer.

Ashland County shares the glaciated plateau ground of Medina County. The ground is similar, so the choice is usually about the project: rural drives and long lanes lean on 304 limestone base with a 411 limestone topping, while barn pads and track beds call for coarser stone.

Cuyahoga County shares the same glaciated plateau ground as well. The ground is similar, and the difference is the job type, with tighter urban lots and more paver and patio work, where screenings and washed sand under a compacted base carry the load.

Within Medina County, match the stone to the site. Wet, slow-draining low spots want #57 limestone or #4 crushed stone underneath. Driveways want a 304 limestone base with 411 limestone on top. Paver patios want a compacted base, then screenings. Steep valley banks want rip rap.

Delivery across Medina County

Order online, size the load by the ton or yard with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the material to your site and places it where you want it dropped.

Coverage runs across the county, including Brunswick, Medina, Wadsworth, Hinckley, Litchfield, Lodi, Seville, Chippewa Lake, Valley City, Spencer and Homerville. If your work sits on a gravel knoll or in a wet hollow, say so when you schedule, since it helps with where the truck can place the load.

Choose a date that fits the season. Once the spring ground drains, the working window runs into late fall, so plan base and drainage work around the wet stretches and the freeze-thaw months.
