Materials for Brookhaven Projects

Most jobs here start with the ground under the surface. Grading and bed prep come first, then the stone goes down on top of a firm, dry subgrade. These are the materials Brookhaven buyers order for that work.

• Fill dirt. Raises grade, fills low spots and backfills before a base or topsoil goes down. Fill Dirt
• Topsoil. Screened to take out stones and roots, for lawns, final grading and bed prep. Top Soil
• Garden soil. Blended for raised beds and planting areas. Garden Soil
• 2A modified. The standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard. Use it under driveways, parking pads, sheds and patios. 2A Modified

Washed stone and sand round out the list. 2B stone is Crushed Stone with no fines, so water moves through it. Use it for French drains, drainage behind retaining walls and shed pads in wet areas. 2B Stone Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone, and mason sand sets brick and block mortar. Screenings

Ground and Conditions in Brookhaven

Start with water and where it goes. This part of Delaware County gets heavy summer storms and spring rain, and a lot of that rain runs off roofs, gutters and paved ground. Under municipal stormwater rules, that runoff has to be managed on the lot. Over limestone valleys, concentrated runoff can open sinkholes.

Ground here is mixed. Uplands are loamy soils weathered from schist and gneiss. Lowlands carry red shale and sandstone. Limestone valley soils weather to heavy clay, and a narrow strip along the Delaware River is loose sand and gravel instead of rock. That mix decides how deep your base needs to be and how well it drains.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches and is set by each municipality. A thin or poorly drained base can heave and break up, so keep base stone off frozen, soft or muddy ground and build on a compacted, drained subgrade.

Storm runoff also scours stream banks and washes out ditches, culvert outlets and sloped gravel drives. Riprap sold by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger R-5 to R-7 sizes for banks, armors those spots. RipRap

Questions Brookhaven Buyers Ask

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in Brookhaven?

Yes. You can order by the ton or by the yard. Set your material, enter the quantity, and use the calculator to size the load before you check out. Then pick your delivery date and a dump truck brings it to your site in Brookhaven.

What stone should I use for drainage in Brookhaven?

Use clean stone, which means crushed stone with the fines washed out so water passes through. In Pennsylvania yards that is 2B stone, the 3/4 inch clean stone. Both work for French drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls. Screenings and finer chips are for bedding, not drainage.
