Screenings for Pathways in Millfield, OH

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Millfield, OH online. Ohio Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site. Start with 304 limestone. In this part of Athens County, hillsides shed rain fast, so what sits under a path matters as much as what you see.

Ground and Conditions in Millfield

Skip the base and a path tells you quickly. Screenings spread over bare ground pump, rut, and mix with the clay below. The surface never locks up.

This is Southeast Ohio hill country. Soils here are thin to moderately deep, weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Clayey slope debris sits on the hillsides, and the flat river bottoms hold sand, gravel and silt.

Steep slopes push heavy rain into narrow valleys fast. Runoff scours ditches and culverts, and low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills, and clayey slope debris and soft red shale slip after long wet spells.

So build the path on a compacted 304 limestone base, then cap it with fines. That keeps the walking surface out of the mud and off the clay. On slopes, cut, fill and driveway work go best in drier weather, and the season runs from spring into late fall.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. That 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.

Materials for Millfield Projects

Paths and walkways live on fines. Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, run from about 1/4 inch down to dust. Spread over a compacted base, they bind tight and give you a firm, walkable surface. Use Screenings for garden paths, patio bedding and paver leveling.

Under that, the base does the structural work. 304 Aggregate Base, sold here as 304 limestone or #304 stone, is the standard Ohio base stone. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and asphalt. Compact it in lifts and the screenings on top stay put.

For a finished drive, cap the base with 411 Stone, also called 411 limestone. Stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines packs tight over 304. For a looser, finer walkable surface, use Walkway Gravel.

Where water has to move, go clean. #57 Limestone handles drainage, French drains and drive surfacing, and it is the clean stone size Ohio suppliers stock most widely. #8 Crushed Stone covers fine drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints.
