#57 Limestone and Bulk Aggregates for Shreve, OH

Where does the water go? That is the question behind most gravel and aggregate delivery in Shreve, OH, and it decides what you order. Ohio Rock Supply sells bulk stone, sand and soil across Wayne County. For a wet, slow-draining yard, the answer usually starts with 304 limestone for a firm base and clean washed stone for the drainage that carries water away.

Shreve sits on glaciated ground where water perches on a dense subsoil layer and collects in low spots. Order the base and the drainage stone together and you solve both halves of the job at once.

Materials for Shreve Projects

Drainage work drives most orders here. French drains, downspout runs and drywells all need clean stone with no fines, because fines pack tight and stop water moving. Order washed stone by number, the way Ohio suppliers sell it, and match the size to the pipe and the trench.

#4 crushed stone is the coarsest clean stone you will use for heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. #57 limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and it handles drainage, French drains and drive surfacing. #8 crushed stone is the fine end, used for pipe bedding and paver joints.

For a driveway, 304 limestone is the standard Ohio base stone. Cap it with 411 limestone, stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines, so it packs tight over the base. Screenings, the fine crushed limestone down to dust, bed pavers and patios.

Around the house, Drain Rock covers foundation drains and drainage behind walls. RipRap armors ditch banks and culvert outlets where runoff scours the ground. For beds and walkways, River Rock and Natural Pea Gravel finish the job.

Ground and Conditions in Shreve

Timing matters as much as material here. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, and the season then runs into late fall. Plan a delivery date that matches ground you can actually work.

The ground itself is silty clay loam till with a dense, slow-draining subsoil layer, so water perches instead of soaking away. That is why a clean stone drainage layer earns its place before you cap a drive. Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash drain freely, and shale or sandstone sits close to the surface on some hills.

Cold, snowy winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet till under drives and walks and lifts anything set above the frost line. Frost depth runs 36 inches or more in Cleveland and 38 inches in Summit County, set by each local building department. Steep valley sides also scour and slip after heavy rain, so bank work needs coarse stone rather than fill.
