Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in New Bremen, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in New Bremen, OH, and the ground here shapes what you should order. The clay loam till that covers Auglaize County drains slowly and holds water in the flat spots, so 304 limestone and soil materials that shed or absorb moisture do most of the work.

You can order 304 limestone, topsoil, sand and clean stone by the ton or yard, size the load with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck drops it where you need it.

Materials for New Bremen Projects

Grading and bed prep start below the surface. Fill dirt raises low spots and levels a yard before anything else goes down, and screened topsoil rebuilds the growing layer over heavy clay subsoil once grading is done.

• Fill Dirt for grading, leveling and backfill before a base goes down.
• Top Soil for lawns and beds, sold screened or pulverized.
• Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.

From there the base and surface materials take over. 304 limestone is the standard Ohio base stone for a driveway, parking pad or shed base. 411 limestone, or #411, packs tight over that base as a driveway topping and as bedding under pavers.

Clean stone by number covers drainage and concrete work. #57 limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and #4 crushed stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. Screenings, also called stone dust, bed and level pavers.

Sand and decorative stone finish the list. Mason sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints, washed sand beds and levels under slabs, and Natural Pea Gravel covers play areas and walkways. River rock and large river rock work in dry creek beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in New Bremen

Water is the driver in the Western and central Ohio till plains. Clayey till drains slowly, so rain and snowmelt pond in flat swales and low spots until ditches, tile or dry weather clear them. Valley sand and gravel drain fast by comparison.

That means drainage layers matter. A French drain or downspout run needs clean stone that lets water move, so #57 limestone, #4 crushed stone or drain rock are the practical picks. Bedding with fines would clog the same trench.

Erosion shows up on stream and ditch banks after heavy rain and on bare graded soil before it is covered. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against that scour.

Timing matters too. Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring and runs into late fall, since frozen or saturated clay will not compact well. Cold winters also bring freeze-thaw that heaves wet clay under drives and patios.
