Gravel and Aggregate Delivery in Ray, OH

Planning a driveway, a parking pad or a drainage run in Ray? Ohio Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Ray, OH by the ton, and most jobs here start with 304 limestone. It is the base stone Ohio crews build on, and it is what you want under a drive, a pad or a shed floor.

This is hill country, so the ground under that base matters as much as the stone on top. Get the base right and the surface lasts.

Materials for Ray Projects

Most work in Ray starts at the base and works up. 304 limestone is the standard Ohio base stone. It packs hard under driveways, parking pads and the asphalt layer above them, and it takes the weight that clay soil will not.

On top of a compacted 304 base, 411 limestone is the driveway topping. It runs up to about 1 inch with fines mixed in, so it locks together instead of scattering. Many Ray drives are 304 limestone for structure with 411 limestone over the top.

Water is the other half of the job. Clean stone by number handles it:

• #57 Limestone for French drains, drive surfacing and concrete work.
• #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances.
• #8 Crushed Stone for pipe bedding and paver joints.
• Drain Rock for downspout runs and drainage behind walls.

Beds and paths take different material. River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel cover decorative beds, walkways and dry creek beds. Screenings are the fine limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust, used for paver bedding and leveling. For lawns and beds, Top Soil goes over heavy clay subsoil before anything is planted.

Ground and Conditions in Ray

Ray sits in Vinton County, in the unglaciated hills of southeast Ohio. Soils here are thin to moderate, weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides and sand, gravel and silt down in the flat river bottoms.

That ground decides how water moves. Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts, low bottoms flood, and seepage from hillsides softens cuts and fills. Where a driveway crosses a slope, drainage is not an extra; it is the difference between a drive that holds and one that ruts.

Erosion follows the same pattern. After heavy or prolonged rain, clayey slope debris and soft red shale can slide or slump on steep hillsides, and stream banks scour in the narrow valleys. Cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather, and the working season runs from spring into late fall.

Winters add 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.

Delivery to Ray and the Surrounding Area

A dump truck brings your material straight to the site. Order online, choose your quantity by the ton or the yard, and size the load with the calculator so you get what the job needs. Pick your delivery date at checkout.

Have the drop spot ready before the truck arrives. That means a clear lane in, a firm place to dump, and a rough idea of where each pile should land, especially on a slope. If the ground is soft from a wet spell, the truck needs solid footing to get in and out.

Delivery covers Ray and the rest of Vinton County, including McArthur, Hamden, Wilkesville, Creola and New Plymouth.
