Why these aggregates work in Stark County
Local soil profiles in Stark County include silty loam and clay loam with areas of glacial till. These soils can hold water in low spots and heave during freeze-thaw cycles. Proper aggregate selection and placement improves drainage, stabilizes surfaces, and reduces maintenance in rural drives and farm lanes.
Driveway, Road & Base Materials
For roads, farm lanes, and driveways across Stark County we supply aggregates selected for load-bearing, drainage, and compaction.
Primary driveway solutions
- Driveway Gravel from our mix provides a durable wearing course and resists rutting on rural lanes.
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone compacts to a solid base and locks with crusher fines.
- Crusher Run is used as a compacting sub-base that retains stability through freeze-thaw cycles.
Road base and heavy use
Road Base and Crushed Concrete offer economical options for long stretches of rural road or heavy equipment access. Properly compacted road base reduces sediment runoff into local creeks and helps protect bridges and culverts during spring runoff.
- Road base is ideal for townships and municipal projects.
- Crushed Concrete gives recycled strength suitable for agricultural yards.
- Regular grading and a compacted sub-base extend pavement life.
Decorative Rock, Garden, & Drainage Aggregates
From decorative beds in Toulon front yards to drainage projects around barns, we carry a range of rock sizes and finishes.
Decorative and functional rock
- River Rock - natural texture and color for beds and accents
- Pea Gravel - comfortable underfoot and great for patios
- Walkway Gravel - fine-grained for stable paths
- Decomposed Granite - natural-looking, compacted surfaces
Drainage solutions
Drain Rock and #57 Stone are commonly used for French drains and foundation drainage in areas with heavy clay subsoils. Proper drainage materials reduce standing water and protect structures from frost heave and erosion.
- Drain Rock - high flow aggregate for efficient drainage
- #57 Stone - pairs well with perforated pipe for long-life drains

Local Conditions & Why Aggregate Choice Matters in Stark County
Stark County experiences a humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Freeze-thaw cycles and spring runoff make proper drainage essential. Many properties sit on silty loam or clay loam, so selecting aggregates that prevent water retention and support compaction is critical.
Regional soil and geology
The county’s soils include fertile topsoil over layers of glacial till and clayey subsoils. This means standing water can be common in low-lying areas and where flow paths are restricted. Aggregates with good permeability—like #57 stone and drain rock—help keep structures dry.
Local landmarks and proximity
Stark County’s rural landscape includes agricultural fields and small river valleys. We serve customers across the county including the Toulon area, the Wyoming community, and farmland out toward Bradford and Lafayette. We frequently supply aggregates for farmstead access roads, township road repair, erosion control near lowlands, and residential landscape projects.
Project Types We Serve
Our aggregates are used across many local projects:
- Driveway construction and resurfacing — aggregate solutions for year-round access
- French drains, curtain drains, and foundation drainage — materials to reduce water intrusion
- Garden beds, xeriscaping, and decorative rock placement
- Road base for rural road repair and township projects
- Playground surfacing and paver bedding
