Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Moscow, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Moscow, OH, from 304 limestone to screened topsoil. This is river hills and old till country, where the flat uplands hold water on a dense subsoil. That shapes what you order for a drive, a pad, or a new bed, and it is why we stock the materials local crews ask for by name.

Order online, pick your quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for Moscow Projects

Most work around Moscow starts with the ground under it. That means grading and bed prep before anything else goes down, so soil and fill carry the load on a lot here. Topsoil and garden soil go in after the grade is set.

For a rough lawn or graded yard, top soil is screened and spreadable over heavy clay subsoil. Raised beds and planting areas take garden soil, which holds moisture better in a bed. Low spots and backfill come up to grade with fill dirt before any base stone goes down.

Topping a compacted base is 411 Stone, the 411 limestone that packs tight because it carries fines.

Clean stone by number covers the drainage side. #57 Limestone and #8 Crushed Stone handle French drains and pipe bedding, and Screenings bed pavers and firm up a path.

Ground and Conditions in Moscow

Water is the driver here. On the flat uplands it perches on the dense subsoil and sits after rain, so a pad or drive can stay soft long after the storm passes. On the steep valley sides toward the Ohio River, runoff sheds fast and finds the low spots.

That split changes what you order. A wet, slow-draining pad wants clean stone underneath so water can move, which is where #57 limestone or #8 stone earns its place. A drive that stays firm wants 304 limestone compacted in lifts over drained ground.

Erosion runs the other way on the hillsides. Steep slopes over soft shale or clayey till can slide after long wet spells, and creek banks wash out in storms. Riprap and large river rock armor those banks and culvert outlets against runoff.

Timing matters too. Extended wet weather saturates both the uplands and the hillsides, so base and fill work goes best once the ground has drained. Hillside cuts are riskiest after a long rainy stretch.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet, poorly drained drives and pads, though frost does not reach as deep here as it does in northern Ohio. Frost depth in Clermont County is 30 inches, set by each local building department.
