Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Pomeroy, OH

Setting up gravel and aggregate delivery in Pomeroy, OH starts with the load size, so run your numbers through the calculator before you pick a material. Ohio Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand, soil and fill across Meigs County. Most jobs around here start with 304 limestone. The hillsides above the river valleys shed water fast, so the base is what keeps a drive or pad from pumping out.

Delivery to Pomeroy and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard. The calculator sizes the load, then you pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings it to your site and drops it where you want it.

We run loads into Pomeroy, Middleport, Racine, Rutland, Langsville and Long Bottom. If the truck can reach the spot, we can put the pile there.

Loose fill and stone go down fast on a hillside lot, so have your pad marked before the truck arrives. Steep narrow drives are worth a look ahead of time.

Materials for Pomeroy Projects

Filling a low spot or building up a pad starts with the coarse material, not the pretty stuff. On ground that falls away, you raise the grade first, then top it with something that packs.

Raising Grade and Building Pads

Use Fill Dirt to bring a low corner up and level a yard before anything else goes down. Compact it in lifts, then cap it with 304 Aggregate Base, the 304 limestone that carries the load under asphalt, concrete or a shed slab. Skipping the cap is how pads settle.

Driveways and Parking Areas

A driveway gets a 304 limestone base capped with 411 Stone. The 411 limestone runs to about an inch with fines, so it knits together and stays put. For a drive that drains instead of packing, Driveway Gravel does the job.

Drainage and Stone

#57 Limestone is the clean stone Ohio yards stock for French drains and foundation work. Fine pipe bedding and paver joints call for #8 Crushed Stone. Both shed water instead of holding it.

Ground and Conditions in Pomeroy

This is Southeast and southern Ohio hill country: unglaciated slopes 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 clay is the reason an under-built base fails. Clay holds water, and wet clay pumps and shifts under a load, so a drive needs the right base depth and a drainage path for what collects.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain into narrow valleys, scouring ditches and culverts. Water seeping from a hillside softens cuts and fills, and clayey slope debris plus soft red shale can slump after long rain. Time your cut and fill work for drier weather, spring into late fall.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clay on cut slopes and drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.
