Most jobs here start with 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in that compacts hard under a drive or a shed pad. In the folded ground around Claysburg, washed stone matters just as much.

Materials for Claysburg Projects

Folded bedrock and steep ridge slopes push a lot of water down into the valleys, so drainage stone earns its place on almost every job. Clean washed stone has no fines, so water moves through it instead of pooling. Here is the line-up by size, coarsest down to finest.

RipRap is the biggest material you will order, sold by R-number the way Pennsylvania yards do it. R-4 handles ditches and culvert outlets, while larger R-5 through R-7 sizes armor stream banks and slopes. It is what holds a bank when runoff cuts it back.

#4 Crushed Stone is large clean stone for construction entrances, underdrains and subgrade stabilization. It goes in wet, soft spots where you need open voids and strength rather than a tight surface.

2B Stone, also called 2B clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone, is the workhorse for French drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls. Shed pads and drive bases in wet areas take it too, because it will not pack hard and hold water.

#57 Stone and #67 Stone are the same clean family at slightly different sizes.

#8 Crushed Stone, known as 1B or #8 stone, is the half-inch-and-down chip for walkways, decorative topping and mixes. Screenings are the fine end: stone dust under a quarter inch that packs firm for paver and flagstone bedding.

On the compacting side, 2A modified is the standard base. 2A Modified takes a driveway, parking pad or patio base and locks up hard once it is watered and rolled.

Bulk delivery means a dump truck backs in and spreads the load where you point. Claysburg sits in Blair County, and we deliver through the county, including Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Tyrone, Roaring Spring and Bellwood.

Have the drop spot cleared before the truck arrives. Soft, muddy ground is the one thing that stops a delivery, and it is also the worst place to put base stone.

Ground and Conditions in Claysburg

Base, driveway and paver work here runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen, soft or muddy ground. It will not compact, and it will move later.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that heave and break up a thin base or one that holds water. Frost depth in this area is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality. That is the number your building official uses, and it is the reason a shallow base with poor drainage fails.

Valleys floored by limestone and dolomite weather to clay, and concentrated runoff from roofs, gutters and drives into that ground can open sinkholes. Keep roof water moving away from the building. A clean stone drainage layer under a downspout run or a French drain does that job.
