Fill and Base Material Delivered in South Bloomingville, OH

Ohio Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in South Bloomingville, OH to hillside drives and building pads across Hocking County. The standard base stone here is 304 limestone. It packs hard under asphalt and carries a driveway, a parking pad or a shed base. On these unglaciated hills, the soil under that base is often thin or clayey, so the fill below matters as much as the stone on top.

Materials for South Bloomingville Projects

Most jobs here start with fill and sub-base for raising grade and building pads. That is the layer buyers underestimate. On a sloped lot, you build the pad up first, then cap it with the right stone.

Fill Dirt raises low spots and levels a site before any base goes down. 304 Aggregate Base is the 304 limestone that sits on top of it, and it is what a drive or a pad is built on. On softer ground, a clean stone layer under the fill helps water move.

For the surface, match the stone to the job:

• 411 Stone, or 411 limestone, tops a gravel drive and beds pavers. It packs tight over a 304 base.
• Driveway Gravel resurfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.
• #57 Limestone handles drainage, French drains and construction entrances.
• Screenings, also called limestone screenings, bed pavers and patios and firm up a path.
• RipRap armors a ditch bank or a culvert outlet where runoff hits hard.

For planting, Top Soil and Shredded Mulch finish the beds after the grading is done.

Ground and Conditions in South Bloomingville

This is Southeast and southern Ohio hill country. Soils are thin to moderately deep over sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, with clayey slope debris on the hillsides and sand, gravel and silt in the flat bottoms. An under-built base on that ground fails fast.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain into narrow valleys. Runoff scours ditches and culverts, and water seeping from a hillside softens cuts and fills. Wet clayey soil also heaves on cut slopes and on drives built into hillsides through repeated freeze-thaw.

Landslides and slumps on steep slopes of clayey debris and soft red shale follow heavy or prolonged rain. Cuts, fills and driveway work on slopes go best in drier weather, and the season runs from spring into late fall. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.

Questions from South Bloomingville Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in South Bloomingville?

Start with 304 limestone. It is the standard Ohio base stone, and it compacts into a firm, stable layer. Over that, use 411 limestone to bed the pavers, or screenings where you want a finer leveling course. On the clayey hillside soils here, a base that drains and packs well matters more than the paver itself.

Do you supply contractors working in South Bloomingville?

Yes. Contractors order the same way homeowners do: pick the material, set the quantity by the ton or yard, and choose a delivery date at checkout. Bulk loads go to job sites in South Bloomingville and to Logan, Laurelville and Rockbridge. The calculator helps size each load before you order.
