#67 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Genesee, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Genesee, PA, and the ground here shapes what you should order. Much of Potter County sits on glacial deposits over shale, siltstone and sandstone, with a dense layer not far below the surface. Water perches above it from fall into late spring.

That is why 2A modified, the standard Pennsylvania base stone, compacts hard for drives and pads. Where water has nowhere to go, you want clean washed stone instead.

Materials for Genesee Projects

Wet ground is the theme on most jobs around here. Low spots, drive edges and footing trenches stay soft long after the snow melts, so drainage stone does more work than base stone on many sites. The materials below run coarsest to finest, with the washed stone first because that is what moves water.

• RipRap: heavy clean stone sold by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger sizes for stream banks and culvert outlets. Snowmelt and heavy rain scour those spots, so armoring them matters.
• #4 Crushed Stone: large clean stone for construction entrances, subgrade stabilization and underdrains.
• 2B Stone: clean washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, so water passes through. Pennsylvania yards call it 2B, 2B clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone.
• #57 Stone: the same size range as 2B.
• #67 Stone: a slightly smaller clean stone for drainage and concrete work.
• #8 Crushed Stone: the small clean chip Pennsylvania yards call 1B, about half an inch and down, for walkways and decorative topping.
• Screenings: fine stone dust and chips under a quarter inch that pack firm for paver and flagstone bedding.

For a French drain, a drywell or a downspout run, 2B is the usual answer. It is clean, so it does not pack hard and water keeps moving. Backfill behind a retaining wall works the same way, with clean stone against the wall and a way for the water to exit.

For the drive itself, 2A Modified is the base that compacts hard, with the fines left in. Driveway Gravel goes on top of a compacted base. Where a shed pad or drive sits in a wet area, a clean layer under the base helps more than extra thickness.

Delivery to Genesee and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose your quantity by the ton or yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. The load arrives by dump truck and is tipped at the site. A full load needs room to spread, so think about where the truck can reach and where you want the pile to sit.

Genesee sits in Potter County, and delivery covers the surrounding area as well, including Coudersport, Shinglehouse, Galeton, Roulette and Ulysses. If your site is on a road that gets soft in spring, say so when you schedule, because a loaded truck needs firm ground under it.

Ground and Conditions in Genesee

Timing matters more here than in most places. Snow and wet, soft ground can last well into spring, so base work waits until the ground has thawed and drained, then runs into fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground, because it will not compact and it will move later.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and soils that stay wet above the dense till layer are prone to frost heave under a thin base. Frost depth in this part of Pennsylvania is commonly 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality. That figure guides footings and buried lines, and it is also a reminder that a shallow base over wet ground will heave.

Drainage is the practical answer on most sites. A clean stone layer under a drive, a footing drain that daylight, or a drywell in the low corner all give perched water somewhere to go. Wetlands are common in this county, so check before you plan a discharge point.
