Large River Rock and Bulk Aggregates for Atlantic, PA

Water moves fast here. Snowmelt and heavy rain run off slow-draining ground and cut into ditches, culvert outlets and stream banks. Gravel and aggregate delivery in Atlantic, PA starts with the stone that answers that water. Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers 2A modified, clean stone and coarse armor by the ton.

Start with 2A modified for anything that has to compact hard. Move to clean stone where water has to pass through instead of sit.

Materials for Atlantic Projects

Erosion work runs on coarse stone. Line the ditch, armor the bank, then build the drive. Match the size to the water you are fighting.

RipRap is the armor. Use it on stream banks, ditch bottoms, culvert outlets and slopes that keep washing out. R-4 suits ditches, and larger R-5 sizes hold banks.

#4 Crushed Stone is the big clean stone for construction entrances, underdrains and soft subgrade. Water runs through it and it stays put under load.

Railroad Ballast is heavy, coarse and clean. Use it for hard standing, track beds and spots that need severe drainage.

Work down the sizes. 2B Stone, also called 2B clean stone, is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines. It drains behind retaining walls and in French drains, and it will not pack hard.

2A Modified is the Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard. It goes under driveways, parking pads and shed bases once the ground is dry and stable.

Finish with the fine end. Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone, and RipRap holds the water's edge.

Ground and Conditions in Atlantic

This is glaciated ground. Glacial deposits sit over shale, siltstone and sandstone, with stony till on the uplands and sand and gravel in many valleys.

Not far down, a dense layer slows drainage. Water perches above it from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet. Snowmelt and heavy rain add to the load.

That timing sets the season. Snow and soft ground can last well into spring. Base work waits until the ground has thawed and drained, then runs into fall.

Do not put base stone on frozen or muddy ground. It pumps, it never locks up, and the drive fails.

Freeze-thaw is the other half. Ground that stays wet above the dense till layer heaves under a thin base, and frost depth runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality.
