Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Tallmadge, OH

Looking for gravel and aggregate delivery in Tallmadge, OH? Ohio Rock Supply delivers bulk stone, sand and soil to jobs across Summit County. If your grade is low or your pad is soft, start with fill dirt and 304 limestone. That pair does the heavy lifting before any finish material goes down.

Tallmadge sits on glaciated ground where silty clay loam till holds water on a dense subsoil layer. Building on that without a proper sub-base is how drives and pads settle. Order the base course first, then finish on top of it.

Delivery to Tallmadge and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. The site calculator sizes the load for the area you are covering, so you know what to request before checkout. Then choose a delivery date and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Give the driver a clear drop spot. Bulk loads need room to spread, and a firm, dry approach keeps the truck from rutting a soft lawn or a fresh grade.

We deliver throughout Tallmadge and the rest of Summit County, including Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Barberton and Hudson. One order can cover a driveway rebuild, a building pad and the beds around it.

Materials for Tallmadge Projects

Most Tallmadge jobs start under the surface. Raising grade, leveling a low spot or building up a pad is where the budget really goes, and the right fill and base stone makes everything above it last. Match the material to the job:

For a driveway, build up with fill dirt if the grade is low, compact 304 limestone over it, then top with 411 limestone or Driveway Gravel. For a patio, set pavers on Screenings over a compacted base. For a drain, use clean stone. #57 Limestone and #4 Crushed Stone both move water, with #4 for heavier runs and trench bottoms.

Around the yard, Top Soil feeds lawn and bed prep over heavy clay, and Shredded Mulch holds moisture through summer heat. Both are worth adding to a bulk order while a truck is already coming.

Ground and Conditions in Tallmadge

The ground here is rolling glaciated terrain of silty clay loam till with a dense, slow-draining subsoil layer. Water perches on that layer and collects in low spots, so an under-built base stays wet and moves. Sand and gravel knolls and valley outwash drain freely, but you cannot count on that under every drive.

That is why base depth and drainage matter more than the finish stone. Compact 304 limestone in lifts, and give the water a clean stone path out so it does not sit against the sub-base.

Erosion shows up on stream and ravine banks and steep valley sides after heavy rain, and slide-prone clays appear in places such as the Cuyahoga Valley. RipRap armors those banks, culvert outlets and pond edges against runoff.

Timing matters too. Snow cover and wet spring ground hold back base work until the soil drains, then the season runs into late fall. Cold, snowy winters bring repeated freeze-thaw that heaves wet till under drives and walks. Summit County frost depth is 38 inches, set by each local building department.
