Bulk Aggregates for Patios in New Paris, OH

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in New Paris, OH online. Ohio Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck drops it at your site. Start with 304 limestone for the base and build up from there. Glacial till clay sits under most of Preble County, so what goes below the pavers matters as much as the pavers.

Ground and Conditions in New Paris

Skip the base and the patio tells you. Pavers rock, joints open, and edges sink after a wet spring. Clay loam and silty clay drain slowly here, so water sits in flat swales until ditches or tile move it.

The fix is a compacted, well-draining base under the whole slab, not just the high spots. 304 limestone packs into a firm layer that spreads the load and lets water pass.

Freeze-thaw works the same ground all winter. Frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department. That number drives footing and post depth, and it is why a shallow base heaves.

Time the work right. Base, drive and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry in spring, then runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact.

Drainage is the other half. Water that ponds in a low swale needs a path away from the patio, and clean stone gives it one. In the river valleys, sand and gravel drain fast, so the ground behaves differently a few miles out.

Materials for New Paris Projects

Patio and flatwork jobs stand or fall on bedding. Bedding sets the paver height, carries the load, and moves water. Get it wrong and the surface never settles flat.

Start with Screenings for paver and patio bedding and leveling. Fine limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust packs tight and screeds smooth under a straightedge. It also firms up garden paths.

Under that, 304 Aggregate Base is the standard Ohio base stone. It goes under pavers, asphalt and parking pads.

Wet ground needs clean stone. #57 Limestone handles French drains, downspout runs and drive surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone suits pipe bedding and tighter drainage work.

Set pavers on sand, not on dust alone. Mason Sand fills joints and beds brick and block. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.

For the ground beside the patio, Top Soil resets a lawn over heavy clay, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through summer.
