Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Washington County, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Washington County, OH. The base material here is 304 limestone, also called #304 stone. It goes under drives, parking pads and shed bases, and under asphalt as the base course. Local ground is mostly unglaciated hills with clayey slope debris on the hillsides, so a compacted base does a lot of work.

You order by the ton or yard, size the load with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings it to your site.

Ground Conditions Across Washington County

The working season runs from spring into late fall. Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips, so cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. Time a delivery for a dry stretch when you can.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys. That runoff scours ditches and culverts, and low bottoms flood. Water seeping from hillsides also softens cuts and fills.

Soils here are thin to moderately deep and weathered from sandstone, shale and coal-bearing rock. Clayey slope debris sits on the hillsides, and sand, gravel and silt sit in the flat river bottoms. Erosion shows up as landslides and slumps on steep hillsides and as stream bank scour in the valleys.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, which pries weathered rock apart and heaves wet clayey soil on cut slopes and on drives built into hillsides. Frost depth is set by each local building department. Confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.

304 Aggregate Base deserves the most attention. Buyers order 304 limestone for a driveway, a parking pad, a shed base, and the base course under asphalt. It packs down tight and carries load across a soft, clayey subgrade.

411 Stone is the topping. Ohio suppliers sell stabilized crushed aggregate under Item 411, a compacted crushed course used as driveway topping. Stone up to about 1 inch mixed with fines packs tight over a 304 base. It also beds pavers.

For drainage, #67 Stone is a slightly smaller clean stone than #57. Drain Rock suits French drains, downspout runs and foundation drains. For clean sand, Mason Sand handles brick and block work, paver joints and play sand, while Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs.

Choosing the Right Material

Washington County sits in Southeast and southern Ohio hill country. Athens, Noble and Morgan counties sit in the same region and the same ground zone. Their ground is similar: unglaciated hills, 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. So the material choice is close, and the difference usually comes down to the project.

On a slope, the base still starts with 304 limestone. Add clean stone for drainage and rip rap where runoff hits a bank or culvert outlet. On a flat river-bottom lot, drainage matters less and a firm base matters more.

For a driveway, use 304 Aggregate Base under 411 Stone or Driveway Gravel. For a patio or paver walk, use Screenings over a compacted base. For wet ground, use #57 Limestone or Drain Rock so water moves instead of sitting in clay.
