Materials Delivered in Ross County
Start with 304 limestone, also called #304 limestone or #304 stone. It is the standard Ohio base stone. Order it for a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base, or the course under asphalt.
Layer 411 limestone on top. It packs tight over a 304 base and makes a firm driveway surface or paver bedding.
Fill the rest of the list with sand and decorative stone. Mason sand and washed sand handle brick work, paver joints and slab bedding. River rock, Natural Pea Gravel and shredded mulch finish beds and walkways.
Choosing the Right Material
Ground next door changes the base and drainage choice. Pickaway County sits in Central Ohio on western and central Ohio till plains, glacial till of clay loam to silty clay over gently rolling ground. Flat wet swales there hold water longer than Ross County hillsides, so drainage stone does more work.
Fayette County shares that same till plain ground. The ground is similar, so compare typical projects instead of soil. Upland pads there need a compacted 304 base, while Ross County work leans on slope drainage.
Highland County ground is old and deeply weathered, with a dense, slow-draining subsoil on the flat uplands. Clayey till and thin soils sit over soft shale and limestone on the steep hillsides. That dense subsoil calls for deeper clean stone under the base.
Ground Conditions Across Ross County
Most of Ross County is unglaciated hills, with thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Clayey slope debris covers the hillsides. Flat river bottoms hold sand, gravel and silt.
Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys. That runoff scours ditches and culverts, and low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides softens cuts and fills, so a base that drains poorly fails early. Fix it with clean stone under the base and a compacted 304 course on top.
Landslides and slumps move on steep hillsides of clayey slope debris and soft red shale after heavy rain. Stream banks scour in the narrow valleys. Armor banks with rip rap and keep water moving away from the cut.
Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips. Cut, fill and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. The season runs spring into late fall. Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that pries rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil 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.
