Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in West Lafayette, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in West Lafayette, OH, and 304 limestone is the stone most local projects start with. It is the base course under asphalt and the working surface under a driveway, parking pad or shed. In Coshocton County the ground is mostly unglaciated hills with clayey slope debris, so a base that is not built right will move.

You order online, pick your quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for West Lafayette Projects

Decorative rock and ground cover do a lot of work on West Lafayette yards, especially on slopes where bare soil will not hold. The local stone names are the ones to use when you order, so here is what each one does.

Beds, borders and dry creek beds

River rock covers beds, borders and walkways, and large river rock builds dry creek beds and heavier erosion work. On a hillside lot, a dry creek bed of large river rock gives storm runoff a path instead of letting it cut a gully. Natural Pea Gravel is the choice for play areas, dog runs and walkways.

Driveways and parking pads

Start with 304 limestone as the base. Top it with 411 limestone, which packs tight over a 304 base, or use driveway gravel to surface an existing drive. The clayey hillside soils here soften when wet, so an under-built base shows up fast.

Drains, patio bedding and fine work

For drainage, #57 limestone is the clean stone Ohio suppliers stock most widely, and #8 crushed stone handles pipe bedding and paver joints. Screenings bed pavers and patios and make firm path surfaces. Mason sand and washed sand cover block work, paver joints and leveling under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in West Lafayette

This part of Ohio is Southeast and southern Ohio hill country: 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.

That ground decides how a base performs. Clayey soil holds water and loses strength when saturated, so a thin base on a hillside drive will rut and pump. Cut into a slope and water seeping from the hillside softens the cut. Proper compaction and enough base depth are what carry the load.

Steep slopes shed heavy rain fast into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches and culverts while low bottoms flood. Rip rap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges. 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, so confirm the local figure before digging footings or posts.

Long wet spells saturate hillsides and set off slips, so cutting, filling and driveway work on slopes goes best in drier weather. The season runs from spring into late fall.
