Why Choose Our Aggregates
Aggregates from Gravel Monkey are selected for strength, drainage, and consistency. We test materials for proper gradation so your project performs in the variable Ross County climate.

- Locally sourced options to minimize delivery time
Driveway & Road Materials
Ross County roads and rural driveways face seasonal freeze-thaw, clay zones, and heavy rainfall. Choosing the right aggregates is essential for a durable surface that drains properly and resists potholes.
Driveway Solutions
For long-lasting driveways we recommend properly layered aggregates: a compacted road base, a layer of crusher run, and a wearing surface such as 3/4 inch crushed stone or driveway gravel.
- Road Base and Crusher Run create a stable, compactable foundation
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone and Driveway Gravel provide a durable wearing course
- Use geotextile fabric where clay soils or poor subgrade is present to prevent contamination
Recommended Products for Driveways
Common build-up for a rural Ross County driveway:
- Road Base for subgrade stabilization
- Crusher Run for compacted base
- 3/4 inch Crushed Stone or Driveway Gravel as the top layer
Note: Each of the products above is available in bulk and delivered free across Ross County.
Drainage & Erosion Control
Drainage is a top concern in Ross County, which has clay-rich soils and seasonal heavy rains that can cause pooling and erosion. Proper aggregates for drainage can protect foundations and landscape beds.
Drainage Products
- Drain Rock for French drains and footing drains
- #57 Stone for underdrains and bioswales
- Crushed Concrete as a cost-effective, permeable base
Best Practices for Ross County Conditions
Because many Ross County parcels sit on clay or silty soils, we recommend:
- Placing a layer of washed sand or washed bedding sand under planting beds to improve drainage
- Using drain rock and perforated pipe for footing and surface drainage
- Adding topsoil and proper grading to move water away from structures
Landscape & Decorative Rock
Decorative aggregates add curb appeal and practical benefits like weed suppression and moisture control. Our decorative rock choices handle local vegetation and seasonal moisture well.
Decorative Options
- River Rock for dry creek beds and accent borders
- Pea Gravel for patios and kid-friendly play areas
- Decomposed Granite for compactable walkways and xeriscape applications
Benefits of Decorative Aggregates
- Long-lasting color and texture that complement native plantings
- Low maintenance compared with mulch
- Improved drainage at plant beds and around patios
Soil, Fill, and Planting Materials
Preparing beds, repairing yards after construction, and installing lawns require quality soil and fill. Ross County’s native soils can be clay-heavy, so bringing in screened topsoil helps ensure plant success.
Soil and Fill Products
- Topsoil - Screened and blended for turf and beds
- Fill Dirt - Good for rough grading and building pads
When to Use Which
Use fill dirt for bulk grading and when compaction is required; use topsoil for the final planting layer where roots need nutrients and good structure. For slopes and erosion control, combine topsoil with drain rock and native plant selection.
Sand, Bedding, and Masonry Aggregates
Construction and masonry projects across Ross County need clean sands and bedding materials for consistent results.
Sand Products
- Mason Sand for mortar and bedding pavers
- Washed Sand for concrete mixes and bedding
- Playground Sand for soft play surfaces
Uses and Tips
Always use clean mason sand for masonry to avoid impurities that weaken mortar. For play areas choose washed playground sand to reduce dust and fines.

Local Considerations for Ross County Projects
Understanding Ross County geology and climate improves project outcomes. The county features pockets of clay, glacial deposits, and river valleys along the Scioto River. Winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and summers can be humid — factors that influence material selection and drainage design.
Soil and Geology Notes
- Many yards have heavy clay subsoils that hold water and shrink/expand seasonally
- Areas near the Scioto River and tributaries may have deeper topsoil and alluvial deposits
- Gravel and crushed stone help stabilize top layers and improve drainage on clay sites
Climate Considerations
Use free-draining aggregates like #57 stone for areas that see standing water. For driveways, a robust road base with adequate pitch will reduce water infiltration and pothole formation.
Nearby Counties
