Rip Rap and Bulk Aggregates for Midland, OH

Ohio Rock Supply offers gravel and aggregate delivery in Midland, OH. If you are building a drive, a pad or a drainage run, you will want 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone. It is also called #304 limestone or #304 stone. The clay loam and silty clay here holds water, so the right stone and the right timing matter.

Order online, size your load with the calculator, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for Midland Projects

Water is the real problem on Midland ground. Clayey till drains slowly, so runoff sits in low spots and cuts at banks and swales. Coarse stone is how you slow that water down and hold a slope in place.

Start with RipRap for stream banks, ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges. It is heavy enough to stay put when a storm sends water through. Railroad Ballast works the same way in hard standing and severe drainage, and #4 Crushed Stone goes under it as filter stone and lines trench bottoms and construction entrances.

For the drainage itself, #57 Limestone is the clean stone Ohio suppliers stock most widely. It feeds French drains, drive surfacing and concrete work. Drain Rock suits downspout runs and foundation drains, and #8 Crushed Stone handles pipe bedding and paver joints where the stone has to be fine.

Once a base is compacted, the finer material finishes the job. 411 Stone tops a drive, Screenings bed pavers and patios, and Top Soil covers the lawn and beds afterward.

Delivery to Midland and the Surrounding Area

Ohio Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Midland and the rest of Clinton County. That includes Wilmington, Blanchester, Sabina, New Vienna and Clarksville. You order online and pick a delivery date at checkout that fits your schedule.

Choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, and use the calculator to size the load before you check out. A dump truck then brings the stone to your site and places it where you want the pile.

Have the drop spot clear and reachable before the truck arrives. Keep it off soft ground, away from overhead lines, and wide enough for the truck to turn around and leave.

Ground and Conditions in Midland

Most base, driveway and paver work here starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring, and it runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so a load placed too early can sit until the site dries.

Plan a delivery date around that window. If a low spot holds water, scrape it out and bring in Fill Dirt to raise and level it before a 304 base goes down. The same slow drainage is why a drainage layer matters under a drive or patio.

Cold winters also bring repeated freeze-thaw. That heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department.

Questions From Midland Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Midland?

For a French drain, downspout run or foundation drain, use clean stone such as #57 limestone, #8 crushed stone or drain rock. Where a bank, swale or culvert outlet has to take fast storm runoff, step up to rip rap or railroad ballast. In a clayey till zone, the clean stone lets water pass instead of ponding.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the drop spot clear, firm and reachable, with room for the truck to turn around. Keep it clear of overhead lines and soft ground. If you ordered several materials, mark where each pile should go so the driver can place them in order.
