Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Middleport, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Middleport, OH for two kinds of buyers: contractors who build driveways and pads all season, and homeowners fixing one lane or one low spot. Both usually start with 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone. In hill country, the ground under the drive matters as much as the stone on it.

Materials for Middleport Projects

Most work here starts at the base, and 304 limestone is where that begins. Build the base right and the surface on top stays put.

On top of that base, 411 limestone is the usual driveway topping. It carries stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines, so it packs tight instead of rolling loose under tires. Many drives get a 304 base with a 411 surface.

Where water needs to move, clean stone does the work. #57 Limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, good for French drains and drive surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone suits pipe bedding and paver joints, and #4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage and construction entrances.

Sand and soil cover the rest. Mason Sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Screened Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over heavy clay subsoil.

Ground and Conditions in Middleport

Start with where the water goes. Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts while low bottoms flood. Water seeping out of hillsides softens cuts and fills, and that is what moves a driveway.

The ground is mostly unglaciated hills with thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Hillsides carry clayey slope debris, and the flat river bottoms hold sand, gravel and silt. Plan drainage before you plan the surface.

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

One practical rule follows: keep the base well drained and compacted, and give the water a path away from the drive. On a slope, a clean stone drainage layer under the surface solves more problems than extra stone on top.

Delivery to Middleport and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or the yard, and size the load with the calculator before checkout. Pick a delivery date that works, and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Bulk delivery means the truck has to get in and get out. Have the drop spot clear and reachable, and tell us where the pile should land. On a narrow hillside drive, the truck needs room to turn around or a safe place to dump and pull forward.

Ohio Rock Supply delivers across Middleport and Meigs County, including Pomeroy, Racine, Rutland, Langsville and Long Bottom. If your site sits off a tight lane, plan the drop before the truck arrives.
