Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Pleasantville, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pleasantville, OH, and we stock the materials this part of Fairfield County actually asks for by name. That starts with 304 limestone.

The ground here is glacial till, clay loam over gently rolling land, so what you put under a drive or a pad matters as much as what you put on top.

Materials for Pleasantville Projects

Most orders here start with a base. 304 limestone is the standard Ohio base stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed floors and the asphalt layer itself. It packs hard because the fines bind the stone together. Order 304 Aggregate Base when you are building up from bare ground or fixing a drive that has gone soft.

On top of that base, 411 limestone is the driveway topping most local buyers want. It runs up to about 1 inch with fines mixed in, so it locks together over a compacted 304 layer and leaves a tight surface. That is 411 Stone, and it is also the bedding layer under pavers.

Where water has to move instead of sit, you want clean stone sold by number. #57 limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and it handles French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate. #57 Limestone is the usual pick for a drainage trench or a gravel drive that needs to shed water.

Smaller clean stone covers the tighter work. #8 crushed stone goes into pipe bedding, paver joints and fine drainage, and #4 crushed stone takes the heavy end: construction entrances, trench bottoms and filter stone under rip rap.

Sand and soil round out the order. Mason sand works brick and block joints and play areas, washed sand beds and levels under slabs, and screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone. Topsoil and garden soil cover lawn and bed prep, and fill dirt levels low spots before a 304 base goes down. Decorative work runs to river rock, large river rock and Natural Pea Gravel for beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Pleasantville

Western and central Ohio sits on till plains, and the clayey till here drains slowly. After spring rain and snowmelt, water ponds in the flat swales and low spots until ditches or tile carry it off. Valley ground with sand and gravel drains quickly by comparison.

That shapes what you order. A drive or pad over slow clay needs a base that will not pump when it is wet, which is why 304 limestone goes down first and 411 limestone tops it. Where water collects, a clean stone drainage layer of #57 or #4 gives it somewhere to go.

Timing matters too. Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring, then runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact, so material placed too early just moves later.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and frost depth runs 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department. Wet clay under a drive or patio heaves, and shallow posts and pads lift with it. Rip rap along a ditch or stream bank holds that ground against scour after heavy rain, and against slumping on steep valley sides.

Delivery to Pleasantville and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck. You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or yard, and size the load with the calculator before checkout. Then you choose a delivery date and the truck comes to the site.

Have the drop spot ready. A clear, firm area the truck can reach, with room to raise the bed and tailgate the load out, keeps the delivery clean. If you are staging a build, tell us where the pile should land so you are not moving stone twice.
