Duncannon sits where ridge runoff drops into the valley, so water is the first thing to plan for. Clean stone and a base that drains solve most of it.

Materials for Duncannon Projects

Water off the steep ridge slopes has to go somewhere. Every material below is listed coarsest to finest, so you can match the stone to the drainage job in front of you.

For drainage behind a retaining wall, a French drain or a drywell, you want clean washed stone with no fines. 2B Stone is the 3/4 inch clean stone Pennsylvania yards stock for that work, and it stays loose so water moves through.

Use it for retaining wall backfill, drainage beds and concrete aggregate. #67 Stone is a step smaller, good where tight drainage runs need a finer clean stone.

Downspout runs and shallow trench drains take a smaller clean chip. #8 Crushed Stone, called 1B in Pennsylvania, is about half an inch and down, and it also works as a walkway topping. #89 Crushed Stone is smaller still, for joints and tight bedding.

Where a run has to be compacted hard instead of draining, switch to 2A modified. 2A Modified is crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up as a driveway, parking pad or shed base. Crusher Run does the same job in mixed sizes.

For surface work, River Rock and Large River Rock handle dry creek beds and borders, while 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel stays loose underfoot on walkways and play areas. Finish graded ground with Top Soil or Garden Soil, and bed out plants with Shredded Mulch.

Ground and Conditions in Duncannon

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. 2A modified should not go down on frozen, soft or muddy ground. It will not compact, and it will move under the first load.

Cold winters here bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The frost depth is commonly about 36 inches and is set by each municipality. A thin base or one that holds water heaves and breaks up, so plan the drainage layer and the timing before the truck arrives.

The ground in this zone is folded bedrock: sandstone ridges with thin, stony soils, and valleys floored by shale or by limestone and dolomite that weather to clay. In the limestone valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes, so move roof water away from the foundation and the drive.

Runoff from the steep ridge slopes scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives. Stream banks cut back during heavy rain and snowmelt. Clean stone, rip rap and a base that drains take that water where it needs to go instead of leaving it in your drive.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Duncannon?

Start with 2A modified. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard and carries a driveway, parking pad or shed base. Where the drive stays wet, put clean 2B stone underneath as a drainage layer before the 2A modified goes down. Top an existing drive with driveway gravel.
