#57 Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for New Straitsville, OH

Steep hills shed heavy rain fast here, and that water has to go somewhere. Ohio Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate in New Straitsville, OH, and drainage stone is the core of what we send out. Start with 304 limestone for a stable base, then top it with clean washed stone that lets water pass instead of ponding against your foundation.

Run a French drain, a drywell or a downspout line and the right stone does the work. We stock the sizes Ohio crews specify, sold by the number.

Materials for New Straitsville Projects

Water is the first problem on these hillsides. Washed stone moves it. Here are the sizes we deliver, ordered coarsest to finest, with what each one does.

For a French drain or a drywell, line the trench with Drain Rock and keep the fines out so water keeps moving. A downspout run that ends in a drywell needs the same clean stone, not a mix that packs solid.

Set the base first. 304 limestone compacts hard under a drive or a pad, and 411 Stone tops it for a tight surface. Around a foundation, switch to RipRap where runoff hits a bank or a culvert outlet at speed.

Ground and Conditions in New Straitsville

This is unglaciated hill country. Soils are thin to moderately deep over 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 rain fast into narrow valleys. Runoff scours ditches and culverts, low bottoms flood, and water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills. Heavy or prolonged rain sets off slides and slumps on clayey slopes and soft red shale.

Time your delivery for dry weather. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes go best when the ground is not saturated, and the season runs from spring into late fall.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. That cycle 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 you dig footings or posts.
