Materials for Folcroft Projects

Grading and bed prep drive most orders here. Topsoil, garden soil and fill do the finish work, while base stone and washed stone carry the load underneath.

Set grade with Fill Dirt before anything else goes down. Build a compacted base with 2A Modified. Cap it with Top Soil for a lawn or Garden Soil for raised beds.

Base and compacting stone

2A modified is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Crusher run does the same job; most buyers here ask for 2A modified instead.

Washed stone for drainage

Clean stone has no fines, so water moves through it. Use 2B Stone in French drains and behind retaining walls, or #57 Stone, which is the same size many yards sell as 2B.

Sand and bedding

Bedding sand and paver base set the finish grade. Mason Sand handles mortar and joints; Washed Sand beds slabs and pavers. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under flagstone and walkways.

Soil, fill and decorative stone

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots. Topsoil and Garden Soil finish lawns and beds once grading is done. For a finished look, River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel cover beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Folcroft

Start with water. Heavy summer storms and spring rain run off built-up ground, and municipal stormwater rules govern where that runoff goes. Roofs, gutters and drives concentrate it fast.

Folcroft sits on mixed Piedmont ground. Uplands are loamy soils weathered from schist and gneiss, with red shale and sandstone in the lowlands and limestone valleys that weather to heavy clay.

That runoff scours stream banks and washes out ditches, culvert outlets and sloped gravel drives. Clean stone keeps those paths open where fines would seal them.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles. A thin or poorly drained base can heave and break up, even though frost does not reach as deep here as in most of the state. Build base work from spring into late fall, once ground has thawed and dried. Do not place base stone on frozen, soft or muddy ground.
