Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in South Solon, OH

What do you order to raise a low lot or build up a pad? For gravel and aggregate delivery in South Solon, OH, the answer starts with fill dirt to build grade, then 304 limestone as the base that carries the load. Ohio Rock Supply delivers both, plus sand, soil and decorative stone, across Madison County.

That order matters here. Glacial till clay loam sits under most of this ground, and it moves when it stays wet.

Materials for South Solon Projects

Most jobs here start below the surface. Raising grade and building pads is the work that decides whether everything above it holds. Order the fill and base first, then the finish material.

For a new building pad or a low spot that ponds, start with Fill Dirt to bring the grade up, then cap it with 304 Aggregate Base. The 304 limestone is the standard Ohio base stone, and it compacts into a firm layer that spreads load.

For a driveway, build the same 304 limestone base and top it with 411 Stone. The 411 limestone packs tight over the base and gives you a surface that stands up to plowing and spring thaw. If the drive only needs a fresh surface over a base that is already firm, Driveway Gravel covers it.

For a patio or paver walk, order Screenings for the bedding layer over a compacted base. Screenings run from about a quarter inch down to dust, so they level and lock under pavers. For a softer path, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable finish.

For drainage, #57 Limestone is the clean stone size Ohio suppliers stock most widely. It works in French drains and foundation drains where water needs to move, not sit.

Ground and Conditions in South Solon

This part of Ohio sits on the till plains, where clay loam and silty clay lie over gently rolling ground. Clayey till drains slowly. Water ponds in the flat swales and low spots after spring rain and snowmelt until ditches, tile or dry weather clear it.

That slow drainage is why an under-built base fails. A thin layer of 304 limestone over wet clay will not compact, and it will pump and rut as traffic crosses it. Build the base thick enough to bridge the soft ground, and put a clean stone drainage layer where water collects.

Frost is the other factor. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth is 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department, so footings and pads get planned around it.

Timing matters too. Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring, and runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well, so a load placed too early on wet ground costs you the base.

What is the best base under pavers in South Solon?

Start with 304 limestone. Then bed the pavers in screenings, which run from about a quarter inch down to dust and lock the units in place. On this clay ground, the base has to bridge soft spots, so do not skip it.
