Most yards here sit on clayey slope debris, so what goes under the stone matters as much as the stone. Size the load first, then choose the material.

Delivery to Minford and the Surrounding Area

Order online and set your quantity by the ton or by the yard. The calculator does the sizing for you, so you are not guessing at a number when the truck is already booked.

Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the load to your site. Bulk stone, sand, soil and mulch all arrive the same way, dumped where you want it worked from. Ohio Rock Supply serves Minford in Scioto County, along with Portsmouth, Wheelersburg, West Portsmouth, Franklin Furnace and Lucasville.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. A drive, a pad or a cleared lawn edge all work, as long as the truck can reach it and get back out.

Materials for Minford Projects

Decorative rock and bed material carry a lot of the work around here, and the choices are straightforward once you know what each one does.

River Rock is the standard for decorative beds, borders and walkways. It is rounded, it stays put, and it does not break down underfoot. For dry creek beds, Large River Rock handles the heavier water and holds the shape of the channel.

Natural Pea Gravel is the small rounded stone for play areas, dog runs, walkways and pipe backfill. It drains well and it is easy on bare feet, which is why it turns up under swing sets so often.

Beds and tree rings want Shredded Mulch. It holds moisture through summer heat and knits together so it does not blow out of an open bed.

Under the decorative layer, the base still has to be right. 304 Aggregate Base, the 304 limestone Ohio yards specify, is the standard base stone for a drive, a parking pad or a shed pad. It packs hard and takes the load.

Ground and Conditions in Minford

This is unglaciated hill country. Soils are thin to moderate over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides. Under-build the base and that clay moves.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys. Runoff scours ditches and culverts, and water seeping from a hillside softens cuts and fills. On slopes, that means a drainage layer and real compaction, not just stone spread thin.

Landslides and slumps on clayey slope debris and soft red shale follow heavy or prolonged rain. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes go best in drier weather, and 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 drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.
