Do you deliver to Richland County?

Yes. Ohio Rock Supply delivers bulk gravel, stone, sand, topsoil and aggregates throughout Richland County, including Mansfield, Shelby, Bellville, Butler, Shiloh and Lucas. You order online, size your load by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the material to your site.

What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular and locks together when compacted, which is why 304 limestone and #57 limestone work as base and drainage stone. Natural Pea Gravel is small rounded natural stone that stays loose underfoot. It suits play areas, dog runs and walkways, but it will not hold a drive the way crushed stone does.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Both work. Stone, sand and gravel are often ordered by the ton, while soil, fill and mulch are commonly ordered by the cubic yard. The deciding factor is how you measure the job. Use the calculator on each product listing to convert your area and depth into a quantity, then order that figure.

Richland County 304 Limestone and Gravel Delivery, OH

If you are building a driveway, setting a parking pad, or running drainage in Richland County, OH, you need gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Richland County, OH that shows up ready to spread. Ohio Rock Supply stocks 304 limestone, the base stone Ohio crews build on.

Local ground is silty clay loam till with a dense, slow-draining layer underneath. Water perches on that layer and sits in low spots, so the base you put down matters more than it does on sand.

Ground Conditions Across Richland County

Rain, snowmelt and heavy summer storms all meet the same problem here: a dense subsoil layer that lets water sit instead of drain. On rolling to hilly glaciated ground, that water shows up as soft spots, spring heaving and rutted drives.

On sand and gravel knolls and in valley outwash, water drops away fast and a compacted base holds up well. On the clay till, plan for a drainage layer and compact in lifts so the base does not pump.

Steep valley sides scour and slip after heavy rain, and slide-prone clay shows up in places. Rock armor at the toe of a slope or a ditch bank holds better than bare soil.

Cold, snowy winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet till under drives and walks. Frost depth is 38 inches in Summit County and 36 inches or more in Cleveland, set by each local building department.

Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, and the season then runs into late fall. Late spring and early summer are the busiest stretch for driveway and pad work.

Materials Delivered in Richland County

We group the yard by material family: base stone, washed stone, sand, soil and decorative. Here is what each one is ordered for around Mansfield, Shelby, Bellville, Butler, Shiloh and Lucas.

Base Stone

304 Aggregate Base is the local standard, sold as 304 limestone or #304 stone. It compacts into a tight, load-bearing layer.

411 Stone, also called 411 limestone, is the topping. It packs tight over a 304 base and works as bedding under pavers. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive, and Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable finish.

Washed Stone

Clean stone drains. #57 Limestone handles French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate. #4 Crushed Stone takes heavy drainage and trench bottoms, and #8 Crushed Stone covers pipe bedding and paver joints.

#67 Stone for drainage and concrete where a slightly smaller clean stone is wanted
#89 Crushed Stone for joints, tight bedding and fine drainage
Drain Rock for downspout runs and foundation drains

Sand

Mason Sand goes into brick and block work and paver joints. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, and Washed Sand blends coarse sand with fine gravel for leveling.

Soil, Fill and Decorative

Heavy clay subsoil is common here, so a real layer of Top Soil matters for lawns and beds. Garden Soil fills raised beds, and Fill Dirt raises low spots before a 304 base goes down.

For beds and borders, River Rock and Large River Rock handle dry creek beds and erosion work. Natural Pea Gravel suits play areas and walkways, and RipRap armors ditch banks and culvert outlets.

Delivery Across Richland County

You order online, pick your material, and size the load by the ton or by the yard. The calculator on each product listing helps you land on a quantity without guessing at the math.

Then you choose a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck arrives at the site and tips the load where you want it.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck rolls in. Mark any septic lids, well heads or sprinkler lines, and keep overhead wires in mind. A firm, level patch of ground handles a full truck better than soft lawn.

We deliver across the county, including Mansfield, Shelby, Bellville, Butler, Shiloh and Lucas.

Choosing the Right Material

Ground changes as you cross county lines, so the right pick shifts with it. Huron County, Crawford County and Morrow County all sit on the western and central Ohio till plains: 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.

That ground drains differently from Richland County's glaciated plateau till. Wet swales there hold water the way our low spots do, so a drainage layer still earns its place. On the low moraine ridges, compaction is the bigger job.

Where the ground is similar, the choice comes down to the project. A driveway gets 304 limestone for the base and 411 limestone on top. A drainage run gets clean stone by number, #57 or #4. A patio gets screenings over a compacted base, and a bed gets soil or decorative rock.
