Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Nashport, OH

Wondering what to put down on a slope that keeps washing out? If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Nashport, OH, Ohio Rock Supply stocks the materials that hold up on this ground. Start with 304 limestone for any base that has to stay put. It is the standard base stone here, and on these hillsides a soft, under-built base shows up fast.

Delivery to Nashport and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. If you are not sure how much a job takes, the calculator sizes the load for you before you check out. Then choose a delivery date and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Nashport sits in Muskingum County, and we deliver across the county, including Zanesville, Hopewell, New Concord, Dresden and Duncan Falls. Give the driver a clear spot to dump, since a full load needs room to spread out and a slope to shed water away from the pile.

Materials for Nashport Projects

Most of the work around here is landscape work: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover. That means decorative stone and clean drainage rock carry the load, with a base under anything that sees traffic. Match the material to the job and the pile will last.

For a driveway or parking pad, start with 304 Aggregate Base and top it with 411 Stone, which packs tight over a compacted base. For a patio or paver walk, bed the pavers in Screenings, a fine crushed limestone that levels and locks up hard.

For beds and borders, River Rock covers ground and holds its color. Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and heavier decorative and erosion work along a swale. For a play area or a dog run, Natural Pea Gravel gives a small rounded surface that stays easy underfoot.

For a French drain, a downspout run or drainage behind a wall, Drain Rock and #57 Limestone both move water. On a ditch bank or around a culvert outlet, RipRap armors the edge against storm runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Nashport

This is Southeast and southern Ohio hill country. Most of it is unglaciated hills with thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. The hillsides carry clayey slope debris, while the flat river bottoms hold sand, gravel and silt.

That ground decides how much base you need. Clayey soil stays wet and moves under a load, so a thin layer of 304 limestone will pump and rut instead of bridging. Build the base deep enough to spread the weight, and compact it in lifts so the stone knits together.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts while low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills, and clayey slope debris and soft red shale can slip after heavy or prolonged rain. Bank scour follows in the narrow valleys.

Long wet spells saturate hillsides, so cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. 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 on drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.
