Screenings for Patios in Hyde Park, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply stocks gravel and aggregate delivery in Hyde Park, PA, from 2A modified to topsoil, all sold in bulk. If you are bedding pavers or building up flatwork, you are in the right place. This part of Westmoreland County sits on clay-rich ground, and what you put under a paver matters more than what you see on top.

Order online, pick your ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Ground and Conditions in Hyde Park

A thin base is easy to spot after a wet winter here. The pavers rock, joints open, and low corners hold water. The ground under Hyde Park is silty and clay-rich, weathered from shale, siltstone and sandstone, and it sits on hilly ground cut by steep valleys.

Clay that stays wet softens and heaves through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so a base that is thin or poorly drained breaks up.

The other local factor is water. Heavy rain and snowmelt run down steep hillsides, and water soaking into clay layers on slopes is the main landslide trigger. On a hillside lot, where roof and drive runoff is sent matters as much as the base itself.

Materials for Hyde Park Projects

For patios and flatwork, the bedding layer is the decision that carries the job. Screenings, also called stone dust, are fine crushed stone dust and chips under a quarter inch that pack firm. They are the standard bedding under pavers and flagstone, and they also surface walkways and bed pipes. See Screenings.

Under the bedding, you want a base that compacts hard. That is 2A modified, the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in. Local yards also call it modified stone. It goes under patios, driveways, parking pads and shed bases. See 2A Modified.

Where water needs to move instead of pack, switch to clean stone. 2B stone, also called 2B clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone, is washed with no fines, so it drains. Use it in French drains, behind retaining walls, and under shed pads on wet ground. See 2B Stone.

For the joints between pavers and tight bedding, 1B stone, also called #8 stone, is the small clean chip that Pennsylvania yards sell for walkways and decorative topping. See #8 Crushed Stone.

Finish the edges and beds with River Rock for decorative borders and dry creek beds, or hold moisture in planting beds with Shredded Mulch.

Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers across Westmoreland County, including Murrysville, Greensburg, New Kensington, Jeannette and Latrobe. Hyde Park lots on steep ground are worth a thought before the truck arrives. Pick a drop spot the driver can reach and where the pile will not sit in a runoff path.
