Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Hummelstown, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Hummelstown, PA, with the materials local crews actually ask for by name. That starts with 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard under a drive. From there you can add clean stone, sand, topsoil and decorative rock to the same order.

Hummelstown sits in Dauphin County, where folded bedrock and limestone valleys shape how water moves once it leaves a roof or a drive. The right stone for the job depends on where that water ends up.

Materials for Hummelstown Projects

Base and driveway work leads here, because that is where most orders start. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, and it carries a driveway, a parking pad, a shed floor or a patio base once it is compacted. Local yards know it as modified stone, and it is the first thing to price on a new drive.

For the surface layer, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted base and refreshes a drive that has gone dusty and loose. If you want a finer, walkable finish on a path, Walkway Gravel is the better pick.

Clean stone handles drainage, and in this market that means 2B. 2B Stone is washed crushed stone with no fines, so water passes through instead of packing tight. Use it behind a retaining wall, in a French drain, or under a shed pad in a wet spot. #57 Stone is the same size class, and contractors here often specify it for drainage and concrete work. For tighter bedding, #89 Crushed Stone fills joints and small voids.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out an order. Mason Sand mixes mortar and sets paver joints, while Washed Sand beds pavers and slabs. Top Soil finishes a lawn or a bed after grading, and River Rock dresses beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Hummelstown

Rain and snowmelt run off the steep ridge slopes and collect in the valleys around Hummelstown. In the limestone and dolomite valleys, water concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes, so drainage is not a detail you skip.

That runoff also scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and it cuts stream banks during heavy rain and snowmelt. Clean stone is how you manage it. 2B and #57 Stone let water move instead of holding it against a wall or under a pad.

The ground here is folded bedrock, with thin stony soils on the ridges and shale or clay in the valleys. 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.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen, soft or muddy ground.
