#67 Stone Delivery for Easton, PA

What do you need under the slab, the pad or the drive? For most jobs in Easton, PA, gravel and aggregate delivery starts with 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in that compacts hard. Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers it, along with #67 stone, fill dirt and sand, across Northampton County.

This is folded bedrock country. Sandstone ridges stand above valleys floored by shale or by limestone that weathers to clay, so a base has to suit the ground it sits on.

Delivery to Easton and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your material, then choose a quantity by the ton or the yard. The calculator sizes the load if you are unsure how much the job needs. Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Bulk loads go to driveways, backyards and job sites throughout the city and the towns around it, including Bethlehem, Northampton, Hellertown, Nazareth and Bangor. Easton sits in Northampton County, and deliveries cover the county.

Think about where the truck can reach before you order. A pile set close to the work saves moving stone twice, and a driveway that stays firm in wet weather takes a full load without trouble.

Materials for Easton Projects

Raising grade and building pads is the work here. Fill dirt does the heavy lifting, and a compacted base goes over it. Match the material to the job and the base holds.

• Fill Dirt raises grade, fills low spots and backfills before a base or topsoil goes down.
• 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone for driveways, parking pads and shed or patio bases.
• 2B Stone is clean, washed stone with no fines, so water moves through it in wet areas.
• #67 Stone is clean stone slightly smaller than #57, used for drainage and concrete work.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone tops a compacted base and handles fine drainage.

For drainage behind a wall or a French drain, buyers ask for 2B. For paver bedding, order screenings, also called stone dust, which packs firm under the pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Easton

Start with the soil. Valleys here are floored by shale or by limestone and dolomite that weather to clay, and clay moves when it gets wet. A thin base over that ground breaks up fast, so the fill and sub-base have to go in first.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, and that cycle heaves a base that holds water. Base stone should not go down on frozen, soft or muddy ground.

Runoff from steep ridge slopes scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives. That is why clean stone such as 2B and #67 drains well, and why R-4 rip rap suits a ditch while larger sizes armor banks and culvert outlets.

In limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Moving water away from the foundation with a clean drainage layer is worth planning for.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall.
