Bulk Material Delivery in Beaver Falls, PA

Ordering gravel and aggregate delivery in Beaver Falls, PA starts with a number. Run your measurements through the calculator, get your tons or yards, then pick the material that does the job. Pennsylvania Rock Supply sells bulk 2A modified, washed stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock, delivered by dump truck.

On the hills around here, water is usually the reason a job gets ordered. Clay-rich ground sheds roof and drive runoff down the slope, so the material that moves that water matters as much as the base under it.

Drainage work is what most hillside jobs in this area come down to. A French drain, a drywell or a downspout run only works if the stone is clean, meaning washed with the fines taken out. Clean stone lets water pass; stone with fines in it packs tight and holds the water you were trying to move. We list these coarsest to finest so you can match the size to the job.

• 2B Stone, also called 2B clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone, is the standard for French drains, drainage behind retaining walls and shed pads on wet ground.
• #57 Stone is the same size many yards call 2B, and it handles drainage, retaining wall backfill and concrete aggregate.
• #8 Crushed Stone, sold locally as 1B, is the small clean chip for walkways, decorative topping and asphalt and concrete mixes.
• #89 Crushed Stone is the small washed stone for tight joints and bedding where a bigger chip will not fit.
• Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm for paver and flagstone bedding and pipe bedding.

For the base under a drive, parking pad or patio, 2A modified is the Pennsylvania standard. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard and stays put. 2A Modified carries driveways and pads, and Driveway Gravel tops an existing drive or a compacted 2A modified base.

Decorative and planting work runs on different material. River Rock and Large River Rock handle beds, borders and dry creek beds, while Top Soil and Garden Soil cover lawns, final grading and raised beds.

Delivery to Beaver Falls and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your site in Beaver Falls and across Beaver County, including Aliquippa, Ambridge, New Brighton, Monaca and Beaver.

Size the load with the calculator before you check out. It takes your area and depth and returns the quantity, so you can order bulk stone, sand or soil with the number already settled instead of guessing at the pile.

Think about where the truck can reach. A load of 2A modified or washed stone gets dumped where you point it, so a firm, clear spot near the work saves you moving material twice on a tight lot.

Ground and Conditions in Beaver Falls

Base, driveway and paver work here runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Long wet spells and rain on snow are when hillside ground is most likely to move, so timing a delivery around that window matters.

The ground in this part of the state is flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone and coal beds weathered into silty, clay-rich soils, on hilly ground cut by steep valleys. Water soaking into clay layers on slopes is the main trigger for slumping, which is why where roof and drive runoff is sent matters on a hillside lot.

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles every winter work on those same clay soils. Ground that stays wet softens and heaves, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Put a clean drainage layer where the water collects, and get the base compacted before the wet season arrives.
