Order 304 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Perry County, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Perry County, OH, and the ground here shapes every load we send out. Most of the county is unglaciated hill country, with thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Clayey slope debris sits on the hillsides, and the flat river bottoms hold sand, gravel and silt. That mix is why 304 limestone is the stone most Perry County buyers start with: it gives you a base that holds up where the ground under it does not.

Materials Delivered in Perry County

We stock the sizes Ohio suppliers sell by number, from coarse drainage stone down to fine bedding. Here is how the sizes run, coarsest to finest, and what each one is good for on Perry County ground.

304 limestone, the Ohio base stone

304 Aggregate Base, which buyers here call 304 limestone or #304 stone, is the standard Ohio base stone. Order it for a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base, or the base course under asphalt.

411 limestone and the clean stone sizes

411 Stone, or 411 limestone, is the topping for gravel drives and parking areas and the bedding under pavers. Stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines packs tight over a 304 base. For drainage you want clean stone instead: #57 limestone, #8, #4, and Drain Rock for French drains, downspout runs and foundation drains.

Sand, soil and decorative stone

For bedding and leveling, Mason Sand works for brick and block and paver joints, and Washed Sand handles leveling and base under slabs. Garden Soil fills raised beds, Fill Dirt raises low spots before a base goes down, and River Rock covers decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground Conditions Across Perry County

The working season runs from spring into late fall. Long wet spells saturate the hillsides and set off slips, so cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. If your site is on a hill, timing a delivery matters as much as the material itself.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys. That runoff scours ditches and culverts, low bottoms flood, and water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills. Plan a drainage layer and protect any slope you disturb.

Erosion here comes from landslides and slumps on steep hillsides of clayey slope debris and soft red shale after heavy or prolonged rain, plus stream bank scour in the narrow valleys. Rip rap and clean stone at outlets do real work. 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.

Choosing the Right Material

Ground next door is not the same as ground here, and that changes the material. Licking County sits in Central Ohio and spans more than one zone, from the glaciated plateau of northeast and east-central Ohio to the western and central Ohio till plains. Fairfield County, also Central Ohio, is glacial till of clay loam to silty clay over gently rolling ground, with low moraine ridges, flat wet swales between them, and sand and gravel in the larger river valleys. Both hold flatter, heavier ground than Perry County, so base depth and drainage are usually easier calls there.

Athens County is Southeast Ohio hill country and shares our ground zone: unglaciated hills, thin to moderately deep soils, clayey slope debris and river-bottom sand and gravel. The ground is similar, so compare typical projects instead. A driveway cut into a hillside takes the same 304 limestone base and the same clean stone drainage here as it does there.
