Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in North Lima, OH

What do you order when your building pad sits low and the ground stays soft? That is the job 304 limestone solves, and it is the material Ohio Rock Supply delivers most often for gravel and aggregate delivery in North Lima, OH.

This is glaciated ground, so the answer starts with fill and base, not with a thin layer of decorative stone.

Delivery to North Lima and the Surrounding Area

Order online and build the load yourself. Pick your material, choose a quantity by the ton or the yard, and use the calculator if you want the number checked before you commit.

Then choose your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your site in North Lima, which sits in Mahoning County, and drivers place it where the truck can safely reach.

We also deliver to Youngstown, Struthers, Campbell, Canfield and Sebring. If your project sits near a county line, order the material and set the drop where the work is.

Materials for North Lima Projects

Raising grade is the job here. If your pad, driveway or shed base sits low, start with Fill Dirt to bring the grade up to where it belongs.

Fill alone will not carry a truck or a slab. Cap it with 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone. It compacts hard and takes the weight.

Top 304 limestone with 411 Stone where you want a tighter, smoother drive surface. A paver patio wants Screenings for bedding, laid over a compacted base.

For drainage, order clean stone by number the way Ohio yards sell it. #57 Limestone handles French drains and drive surfacing, while #4 Crushed Stone goes in trench bottoms and construction entrances.

Ground and Conditions in North Lima

Start with the soil, because it decides how much base you need. This part of the state is silty clay loam till with a dense layer underneath that drains slowly.

Water perches on that layer and gathers in low spots, so a pad built straight on it will pump and rut. Excavate the soft material, bring the grade up with fill, then compact 304 limestone in lifts.

Some ground here drains freely instead. Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash shed water fast, and those sites often need less under the base.

Steep valley sides scour and slip after heavy rain, so armor ditch banks and culvert outlets with rip rap rather than bare soil.

Timing matters too. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, and the season runs into late fall. Freeze-thaw heaves wet till under drives and walks, so the base has to be built to take it.

What is the best base under pavers in North Lima?

Use 304 limestone compacted in lifts as the structural base, then bed the pavers in screenings. Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, run from about 1/4 inch down to dust and pack tight. Where the subsoil is heavy clay and stays wet, excavate the soft material first and bring the grade up with fill dirt before the 304 goes down.
