River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Whitehouse, OH

Ohio Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Whitehouse, OH, and 304 limestone is the stone most local jobs start with. It is the standard Ohio base material, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, shed bases and asphalt.

Whitehouse sits in Lucas County on flat former lake bed ground, where heavy clay and silt hold water after every storm. That makes drainage stone the second half of most orders.

Water is the problem on this ground. The clay and silt let almost nothing through, so spring rain and snowmelt sit until ditches and field tile take them away. Washed stone is how you move that water instead of fighting it.

Order washed sizes for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. The clean stone has no fines, so water passes through freely.

• #57 Limestone is the clean stone Ohio suppliers stock most widely. Use it in French drains, downspout runs and drive surfacing.
• #4 Crushed Stone is the heavy grade. It works for trench bottoms, construction entrances and filter stone under rip rap.
• #8 Crushed Stone is the fine grade for pipe bedding, paver joints and tight drainage work.
• Drain Rock covers foundation drains and drainage behind walls.

Under any of those, the base course is 304 limestone. It packs tight and carries the load above it.

411 limestone tops a gravel drive or beds pavers over the 304 base, since the mix of stone and fines packs tight. Above the base, RipRap armors ditch banks and culvert outlets, and River Rock handles decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Whitehouse

Start with timing, because this ground sets the schedule. The lake plain clay flats stay saturated well into spring, so base and driveway work waits until the ground has drained and firmed. The season then runs into late fall.

Plan the drainage layer before you plan the surface. On wet clay, a clean stone trench or downspout run has to carry water away from the base, or the base will not hold. The low sandy ridges around the area drain faster, but the flat ground between them does not.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw. Wet clay holds water close to the surface, so poorly drained drives and pads heave, and anything set too shallow moves with them. Frost depth is set by each local building department, so confirm the local figure.

Where a ditch or creek bank slumps after heavy rain, rip rap on the bank slows the scour. Lots that front Lake Erie or its bays take wave erosion that is worst in early spring storms.
