Bulk Gravel and Stone Delivery in Fulton County, PA
Base, driveway and paver work in Fulton County runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Order your gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Fulton County, PA early in that window. Pennsylvania Rock Supply sells bulk material online, and a dump truck brings it to your site.
Most buyers here start with 2A modified for a drive, pad or shed base. It is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard.
Materials Delivered in Fulton County
Material is grouped below by family, so you can match the job to the right stone, sand or soil.
Base stone
2A modified is the trade name for a 2A-type base with extra fines added. Local yards still use the older Pennsylvania names alongside those numbers.
Order 2A Modified for driveways, parking pads, shed and patio bases. Crusher Run does the same compacting work when the mix suits your site. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills before either base goes down.
Washed and clean stone
For tight bedding and joints, order Screenings. For French drains and downspout runs, Drain Rock covers the job, though local yards usually sell clean 2B for it.
Sand
Mason Sand goes into brick and block mortar and paver joints. Washed Sand is the concrete and bedding sand under pavers and slabs. Washed Sand is a coarse blend for leveling.
Soil, fill and decorative
Top Soil is screened for lawns and final grading. Garden Soil fills raised beds and planting areas. For beds and borders, River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel stay loose underfoot.

Ground Conditions Across Fulton County
This county sits in folded bedrock: long sandstone ridges with thin, stony soils, and valleys floored by shale or by limestone and dolomite that weather to clay. Rain and snowmelt run off steep ridge slopes into those valleys.
That runoff scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and it cuts stream banks during heavy rain and snowmelt. Riprap and clean stone armor those spots better than a fine material that washes.
In limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Route water away from the house and spread it out before it soaks in at one point. In the anthracite coal fields the ground is broken up by old strip mines and waste piles.
Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that heave and break up a thin base or one that holds water. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality. Do not put base stone down on frozen, soft or muddy ground.
Choosing the Right Material
Franklin County shares this county's ground zone, so the base and drainage choices are similar there, and the same 2A modified and clean stone work well. Huntingdon County shares the zone too, so the ground is similar and the projects are much the same: drives, pads and drainage on folded bedrock.
Bedford County spans more than one zone, including the North-central high plateau and Allegheny Mountains. Where the ground turns to plateau, drainage and base depth matter more, so clean stone and a well-compacted base carry more of the work.
Match the stone to the job first. Use 2A modified where you need a hard, compacted base. Use 2B, #57 or drain rock where water has to pass through. Use riprap where runoff is scouring a bank or ditch.
