Materials for Hollsopple Projects

Most jobs here start below the surface. You raise grade, build a pad, then cap it. Fill and sub-base carry the load, so get that layer right before anything goes on top.

Start with Fill Dirt to raise low ground and backfill. It brings a site up to grade before a base or topsoil goes down. Then compact 2A Modified over it for driveways, parking pads, shed floors and patio bases. Crushed stone with the fines left in, it locks up hard. Buyers around here also call it modified stone.

For drainage, switch to clean stone. 2B Stone has no fines, so water moves through it. Use it in French drains, behind retaining walls, under shed pads and in wet drive bases. #4 Crushed Stone handles underdrains and subgrade stabilization.

Finer work takes finer material. Screenings bed pavers and flagstone and pack firm underfoot. For lawns and beds, Top Soil finishes the grade after the base is set.

Ground and Conditions in Hollsopple

Sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate sit under thin to moderately deep, stony soils on the uplands and ridges. Deep, steep-sided valleys cut through, and coal beds and old mine ground show up in parts of the zone.

That ground does two things to a base. Water sheds fast off the slopes and loads your ditches, culverts and low drives. And stony, uneven subgrade gives a thin base nothing to lock onto, so it shifts and pumps.

Frost matters here too. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the higher ground runs cooler and wetter than most of the state. A thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Municipalities in this zone commonly set frost depth at 36 to 42 inches, with the deeper figures in the mountains. Set base stone in the thawed, dry months from spring into fall. Do not put it down on frozen or muddy ground.
