Bulk Material Delivery in Jersey Shore, PA

What do you order when runoff keeps cutting your driveway and bank? For most jobs around here, the answer starts with clean, coarse stone. Pennsylvania Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Jersey Shore, PA, and the surrounding area, so you can order what the slope actually needs.

This part of Lycoming County sits on folded bedrock, with stony soils on the ridges and clay in the valleys. That shape drives the water, and the water decides your material. A compacting base like 2A modified holds a drive. Clean stone moves water away. You usually need both.

Materials for Jersey Shore Projects

On steep ridge ground, water is the whole problem. It scours roadside ditches, cuts culvert outlets, and chews at stream banks during heavy rain and snowmelt. The fix is coarse stone that stays open and lets flow through instead of over the top. Order by size, from the biggest armor down to the fines.

Start coarse when the water is moving. RipRap is the heavy armor for banks and swale work, sized by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger R-5 to R-7 for streambanks. Behind that, #4 Crushed Stone stabilizes soft subgrade and feeds underdrains.

For anything that has to drain but still look tidy, clean stone is the answer. 2B Stone is the washed 3/4 inch stone local yards also call 2B clean stone, with no fines, so water passes through.

Once the ground is dry and shaped, cap it with a base that packs. 2A Modified is crushed stone with the fines left in, the standard base across the state. It locks up under a driveway, parking pad, or shed base and sheds surface water when it is crowned.

Ground and Conditions in Jersey Shore

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. It will not compact, and it will move under the first load.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that heave and break up a thin base or one that holds water. Frost depth here is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so check with your code official on depth.

In the limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Spread that water out and let clean stone carry it away from the structure.

Questions About Stone in Jersey Shore

What stone should I use for drainage in Jersey Shore?

Use clean, washed stone that has no fines. 2B Stone (3/4 inch clean) is the usual pick for French drains, downspout runs and wall backfill. #57 Stone works the same way where a slightly different gradation is wanted, and #4 Crushed Stone handles underdrains and soft subgrade. Keep fines out, or the bed clogs and stops moving water.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Have the delivery spot cleared, marked and reachable, with room for the truck to pull in and dump. Clear low branches and any parked vehicles. If the ground is soft from rain or thaw, pick a firmer spot or wait, since a loaded truck can sink. Measure your quantity with the calculator first so the pile lands where you want it.
