Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Sycamore, OH

Water sits where the ground cannot take it. Clayey till across Wyandot County drains slowly, so flat swales hold spring rain and snowmelt until ditches or tile move it along. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Sycamore, OH starts with that problem. Ohio Rock Supply stocks 304 limestone.

Materials for Sycamore Projects

Most jobs here start below grade. Raising a low pad, leveling a yard or rebuilding a drive means fill first, then a compacted base, then a surface. Match the material to the job.

Building pads and grade

Set your pad height with fill dirt before anything structural goes down. It grades, levels and backfills, and it lifts low spots so your base sits above the wet swale instead of in it.

Driveways and parking

Build the base with 304 limestone, the standard Ohio base stone, then top it with 411 limestone. The 411 packs tight over a 304 course and takes tire traffic.

Drains and wet ground

Move water with clean stone. #57 limestone handles French drains and downspout runs, while drain rock works behind walls and around foundations.

Patios and pavers

Bed pavers on screenings over a compacted base. The fine limestone from about 1/4 inch down to dust levels hard and locks the units in place.

Ground and Conditions in Sycamore

Start with the soil, not the stone. Glacial till of clay loam to silty clay covers gently rolling ground here, with low moraine ridges and flat wet swales between them. Sand and gravel sit in the larger river valleys and drain fast. Clay does not.

An under-built base fails on that clay. Water ponds in low spots after spring rain and snowmelt, and saturated clay will not compact. Strip the soft material, raise grade with fill, then place 304 limestone in lifts and compact each one.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which heaves wet clay under drives and patios and lifts shallow posts and pads. Frost depth runs 32 inches in Columbus and Dayton, set by each local building department.

Stream and ditch banks scour after heavy rain, bare graded soil washes, and steep valley sides slump. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and pond edges, and clean stone keeps water moving where it would otherwise stand.

Base, driveway and paver work starts once the ground thaws and the flats dry out in spring, then runs into late fall. Frozen or saturated clay will not compact well.
