Screenings for Pathways in Stewart, OH

You are pricing out a path, a patio base or a new parking pad, and the material you pick decides how it holds up. Ohio Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Stewart, OH, from 304 limestone for base work to washed stone for drainage. In this county's thin, clayey hillside soils, a path on bare ground turns to ruts fast.

Most projects here start with the same three questions: what goes under it, what goes on top, and how much to order. That is what we will walk through.

Ground and Conditions in Stewart

A path laid straight onto clayey slope debris fails first at the edges. Rain sheets off these hills, the fines wash out, and the surface rutting starts where the water leaves. The base depth and the drainage are what stop that.

Steep slopes here shed heavy rain into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and softens cut ground. Plan a path with a fall away from the house and a clean stone edge drain, not a flat pad sitting in the wet.

If your path crosses a slope, cut and fill work goes best in drier weather. Long wet spells saturate hillsides, and driveways built into hillsides heave in freeze-thaw. Confirm any footing depth locally before you dig posts.

Materials for Stewart Projects

For paths and walkways, the surface layer does the work. Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, give you a fine crushed limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust. It packs tight and firm underfoot, which is why it is the go-to topping for Walkway Gravel and garden paths.

A path that sees a wheelbarrow or a mower needs a base under that topping. 304 Aggregate Base is the standard Ohio base stone. It is graded so it compacts into a hard, load-bearing layer for drives, parking pads and shed bases.

Where the path meets a downspout or a low corner, clean stone moves water instead of holding it. #57 Limestone is the size Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and it works for French drains and drive surfacing. #8 Crushed Stone is the finer clean option for pipe bedding and tight drainage.

Under pavers, you want Screenings for the bedding course and 411 Stone as the topping over a compacted base. The 411 packs tight because it carries fines with the stone.

Delivery to Stewart and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your site and drops it where you want it. The calculator on each product page sizes the load for you, so you are not guessing at square footage in your head.

Get the drop spot right before the truck shows up. Bulk stone needs a clear, firm approach and enough room to dump without hitting a fence, a low wire or a parked car.

We deliver across Athens County, including Athens, Nelsonville, The Plains, Glouster and Albany. Stewart sits in Athens County, and routes into the hills here can be tight, so tell us about a narrow lane or a soft shoulder when you schedule.
