Materials for Mingo Junction Projects

Water is the driver on these hillsides. Clayey slope debris and soft shale saturate, then move. Coarse stone is how you armor the places water leaves fast. Start with the biggest sizes and work down.

Below the coarse sizes, the base work takes over. 304 Aggregate Base is the standard Ohio base stone for a driveway, a parking pad or the course under asphalt. Cap it with 411 Stone, the 411 limestone that packs tight over a 304 base and gives a drive its running surface.

For bedding and leveling, Screenings pack firm under pavers and patios. Top Soil and Fill Dirt handle the ground before any stone goes down, and Shredded Mulch finishes the beds.

Bulk loads are heavy. Check that the route in can carry a loaded truck, and keep the drop spot clear of parked cars and low wires.

Ground and Conditions in Mingo Junction

This is Southeast and southern Ohio hill country. Soils are thin to moderate, weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides and sand, gravel and silt in the river bottoms.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain into narrow valleys. Runoff scours ditches and culverts, low bottoms flood, and seepage from hillsides softens cuts and fills. That is why coarse stone belongs at the outlet and along the bank, not just at the top of the slope.

Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather, so 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.

Questions About Stone and Delivery in Mingo Junction

What stone should I use for drainage in Mingo Junction?

Match the stone to the water. Use #57 limestone for French drains and downspout runs, #4 crushed stone for heavy drainage and trench bottoms, and rip rap where a stream bank, ditch bank or culvert outlet needs armoring. For fine drainage and pipe bedding, drop to #8 crushed stone. Keep the clean stone clean, since fines clog a drain.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear drop spot and a clear route in. Mark any septic lids, sprinkler lines or buried utilities, and move parked cars out of the way. Point out where you want the pile and how far the truck can back in. If the ground is soft from rain, say so before the driver commits to a wet slope.
