Screenings for Pathways in Cross Fork, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Cross Fork, PA, and the material most people here start with is 2A modified. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under a drive or a shed pad. Around Cross Fork the ground runs stony and the valleys are narrow, so what you put down has to shed water and stay put.

We stock the fines and clean stone that paths, walkways and driveways are built from, plus the sand, soil and mulch that finish the job.

Ground and Conditions in Cross Fork

Cross Fork sits on the north-central high plateau, where thin, stony soils cover sandstone, shale and old coal ground. Rain and snowmelt run fast off the steep valley sides and collect in ditches, culverts and low drives. That concentrated flow is what tears up a path or a drive that was built too thin.

A thin base shows itself first at the edges, where the stone ravels out and ruts form after a wet spell. The answer is more compacted depth and a drainage layer that lets water pass instead of ponding. Freeze-thaw does the rest: cold winters here bring repeated cycles, and higher ground runs cooler and wetter than most of the state.

Frost depth is commonly 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality, with the deeper figures in the mountains. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground, so plan base, driveway and paver work for the thawed, dry months from spring into fall.

Materials for Cross Fork Projects

For paths and walkways, the fines are the material that matters. Screenings, also called stone dust, are fine crushed stone under a quarter inch that packs firm. They are the standard bedding under pavers and flagstone and a good surfacing for a walkway that needs to stay tight underfoot.

Start the path on 2A modified and cap it with screenings or Walkway Gravel. Where a path crosses a wet spot, switch the base to clean stone so water moves through.

• Screenings: paver and flagstone bedding, walkway surfacing and pipe bedding.
• 2A Modified: the standard Pennsylvania base stone for drives, parking pads and shed bases.
• 2B Stone: clean 3/4 inch stone for French drains, wall backfill and wet drive bases.
• #89 Crushed Stone: small washed stone for joints and tight bedding.
• Top Soil: screened lawn and bed material for final grading.

For drainage, 2B and #57 Stone are the same clean size, and both let water through without packing. Pennsylvania yards sell riprap by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and the larger sizes for banks and streambanks. Decorative beds take River Rock or Natural Pea Gravel, which stays loose underfoot.
