Fill Dirt Delivery for Ravenna, OH

Ohio Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Ravenna, OH to homeowners and contractors who need to raise grade before anything gets built. The ground here is glaciated silty clay loam till, and the subsoil below it drains slowly and holds water. That is why 304 limestone earns its place on so many jobs around Portage County: it goes down over a drained, compacted subgrade and gives you a base that stays put.

Delivery to Ravenna and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick your material, and choose a quantity by the ton or the yard. If you are not sure how much a pad or a driveway will take, run your measurements through the calculator before checkout so you are not short or long.

From there you choose a delivery date that fits your schedule, and a dump truck brings the load out to your site in Ravenna. We also deliver to Kent, Streetsboro, Aurora, Rootstown, and Deerfield, so a job just outside the city is no problem.

Think about where the truck can back in and where you want the pile set down. Spreading the material yourself is fine, but a clean drop point saves a lot of wheelbarrow work later.

Materials for Ravenna Projects

Most jobs around here start with grade. If your yard holds water or your proposed pad sits low, fill dirt is the first load, and it is what brings a building pad or a driveway up to the height you want before any stone goes down.

Once the grade is right, 304 limestone is the standard Ohio base stone. It goes under asphalt, under a parking pad, and under a shed floor. On top of it, 411 limestone packs tight for a driveway or parking area surface, and screenings bed pavers and patios.

Where water needs to move, clean stone by number does the work. #57 limestone handles French drains and drive surfacing, and #8 crushed stone fits finer drainage, pipe bedding and paver joints. For a decorative bed or a dry creek, river rock and Natural Pea Gravel finish the job.

Ground and Conditions in Ravenna

Ravenna sits on the Glaciated plateau of northeast and east-central Ohio. That means rolling ground of silty clay loam till with a dense layer underneath that water perches on, plus sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash that drain freely.

The practical read is that an under-built base fails here. Water sitting on the slow-draining subsoil works its way up into the stone, and the surface above it moves. Drained, compacted grade before the stone matters more than the thickness of the stone itself.

Erosion shows up on stream and ravine banks and steep valley sides after heavy rain, where rip rap armors the soil against scour. Cold, snowy winters also bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet till under drives and walks. Frost depth runs 38 inches in Summit County and 36 inches or more in Cleveland, set by each local building department.

Timing counts too. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, and the season then runs into late fall. Plan your stone and fill loads around that window.

Questions Ravenna Buyers Ask

What is the best base under pavers in Ravenna?

Start with a drained, compacted subgrade, then build up with 304 limestone as the structural base. Over that, screenings bed and level the pavers, since the fine crushed limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust locks together and holds a flat surface. On slow-draining till, getting the subgrade right is what keeps the pavers from shifting after a wet season.

Do you supply contractors working in Ravenna?

Yes. Ohio Rock Supply delivers bulk aggregate, sand and soil to Ravenna job sites, and contractors order the same way homeowners do: online, by the ton or yard, with a delivery date chosen at checkout. Materials like 304 limestone, #57 limestone, fill dirt and washed sand cover the base, drainage and bedding work on most builds around Portage County.
