Rip Rap and Bulk Aggregates for Yorkville, OH

If you need gravel and aggregate delivery in Yorkville, OH, the ground here shapes what you order. Hillsides of clayey slope debris and soft shale shed water fast, so base depth and drainage stone matter more than they do on flat ground. Ohio Rock Supply delivers 304 limestone, clean stone and rip rap by the ton to sites across Jefferson County.

The standard Ohio base stone is 304 limestone. It packs into a firm base for drives, parking pads and shed floors, and it holds up under the wet clay soils common on these slopes.

Materials for Yorkville Projects

Steep slopes shed heavy rain into narrow valleys, so runoff scours ditches, culverts and stream banks. Coarse stone is how you armor those spots and keep water moving instead of cutting. Here are the sizes that do that work, from coarsest to finest.

RipRap is the heavy armor for stream and ditch banks, culvert outlets and pond edges. It stands up to storm runoff and wave action where smaller stone washes out.

Railroad Ballast is a heavy coarse stone for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where you need mass and open voids.

#4 Crushed Stone, called #4 stone here, works for heavy drainage, construction entrances, trench bottoms and filter stone under rip rap.

#57 Limestone, or 57 stone, is the clean stone Ohio suppliers stock most widely. Use it for drainage, French drains, drive surfacing and concrete aggregate.

Screenings, also called limestone screenings or stone dust, run from about 1/4 inch down to dust. They make a firm surface for pavers, patios and paths.

Ground and Conditions in Yorkville

This is Southeast and southern Ohio hill country: mostly unglaciated hills with thin to moderately deep soils, clayey slope debris on the hillsides, and sand, gravel and silt in the flat river bottoms.

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

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.

What stone should I use for drainage in Yorkville?

Start with the water, not the stone. For a French drain or downspout run, #57 limestone or Drain Rock gives you open voids that carry water away. For heavy flow at a culvert outlet or along a scoured ditch bank, step up to #4 Crushed Stone or RipRap. Around pipe bedding and paver joints, finer #8 Crushed Stone fits tighter spaces.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have a clear, firm spot for the truck to back in and dump, with no overhead wires or low branches in the way. Mark any septic lids, utilities or sprinkler lines you do not want covered. If you are staging material on a slope, pick a level pad so the pile does not slide. Knowing where you want the pile dropped saves you moving stone twice.
