Order 304 Limestone and Crushed Stone in Stark County, OH
Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Stark County, OH, and the material most Stark County buyers start with is 304 limestone. It is the base stone behind most drives, parking pads and shed floors here. Ground across the county is rolling to hilly glaciated land, silty clay loam till over a dense layer that drains slowly, with sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash that drain freely. That mix decides how much base a job needs.
Ground Conditions Across Stark County
Start with where the water goes. Rain, snowmelt and summer storms perch on the dense subsoil and collect in wetlands, kettle hollows and low spots. On sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash, water moves through instead of sitting.
That difference sets your base depth and drainage layer. Wet till under a drive or walk heaves in repeated freeze-thaw, and frost depth here runs 36 inches or more, set by each local building department. Base work waits for wet spring ground to drain, then runs into late fall.
Storm runoff also scours stream and ravine banks on steep valley sides, with slide-prone clays in places such as the Cuyahoga Valley. Culvert outlets, ditch banks and pond edges take armor stone for that reason.
Materials Delivered in Stark County
Item 304 is the aggregate base course used under drives, pads and pavement, and Item 411 is stabilized crushed aggregate, a compacted crushed course sold as driveway topping. Sizes such as #57.
304 limestone carries the most weight in most orders here. It is ordered for driveways, parking pads, shed bases and the base course under asphalt, and it compacts into a firm, load-bearing layer over prepared ground. Order 304 Aggregate Base when the job needs a base, and 411 Stone when you want a tight topping over it.
Around it sit the clean stone sizes: #57 Limestone for drainage and drive surfacing, #67 Stone where a slightly smaller clean stone is wanted, #8 Crushed Stone for pipe bedding and paver joints, #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage and construction entrances, and #89 Crushed Stone for joints and tight bedding.
Sand, soil and decorative material round out the load. Mason sand, washed sand, gravel sand, topsoil, garden soil, fill dirt and shredded mulch cover bedding, leveling and planting, while river rock, large river rock and Natural Pea Gravel handle beds, borders, dry creek beds and play areas.
Delivery Across Stark County
Order online, choose a quantity by the ton or yard, size the load with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then delivers to the site.
Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk material is dumped, so the pile needs open ground where it will not block a drive, bury a walk or sit in a low spot that holds water. If the drop sits on soft spring ground, it can sink, so pick a firm spot or a gravel pad.
Coverage runs across the county, including Canton, Massillon, Alliance, North Canton, Louisville, Uniontown, Paris, Canal Fulton, Hartville, Brewster, Navarre, Minerva, East Canton and Waynesburg.
Choosing the Right Material
Stark County sits in the glaciated plateau of northeast and east-central Ohio, so the base reasoning here starts with slow-draining till and freeze-thaw. Neighboring counties to the south and east sit in the unglaciated hill country of southeast and southern Ohio, with thin to moderately deep soils weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock, clayey slope debris on the hillsides, and sand, gravel and silt in the flat river bottoms.
That shift changes the material choice. On Stark County's dense subsoil, a 304 limestone base with a clean drainage layer matters most. In Tuscarawas County, Holmes County and Carroll County, hillside clayey slope debris and thinner soils put more weight on slope protection and drainage behind walls, so rip rap, drain rock and #4 stone carry more of the job.
Typical work stays similar on both sides: drives, parking pads, patios, drainage runs and stream bank armor. Match the stone to the ground under it, and order by the size and item number your job is specified by.
