Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Kersey, PA

If you are planning a driveway rebuild in Kersey, the material list usually starts with 2A modified. Pennsylvania Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Kersey, PA, and 2A modified is the base stone this market asks for by name. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under a truck. On Elk County ground, that hard, well-drained base is what keeps a drive from rutting after a wet spring.

Materials for Kersey Projects

Most jobs here come down to a base layer, a clean stone layer, and a finish. Base and driveway work leads the list because that is where the money and the labor go. Get the base right and the surface lasts.

2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone. It goes under driveways, parking pads, shed floors and patio bases, and it locks up tight once it is watered and rolled. Crusher Run does the same job with the same fines mixed in, and Pennsylvania buyers usually ask for 2A modified instead.

Clean stone handles water. 2B Stone is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, so water passes through instead of sitting. It is what goes in French drains, behind retaining walls, and under shed pads or drive bases in wet spots.

For a surface layer, Driveway Gravel tops a compacted 2A modified base and refreshes a drive that is already sound. #8 Crushed Stone, called 1B or #8 locally, is the small clean chip used on walkways and as a decorative topping.

Sand and soil round out most orders. Washed Sand is concrete sand for slabs and bedding, Mason Sand is for brick and block mortar and paver joints, and Top Soil is screened for lawns and beds. For decorative beds and dry creek work, River Rock and Large River Rock are the usual picks.

Ground and Conditions in Kersey

Kersey sits on the Western Pennsylvania plateau hills, where flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone and claystone have weathered into silty, clay-rich soils. The ground is hilly and cut by steep valleys. Heavy rain and snowmelt run down those hillsides fast.

That matters for where your water goes. Clay layers on a slope hold moisture, and water soaking into them is the main trigger for slumping and landslides around this region. So on a hillside lot, the question is not only what base stone you buy, it is where roof and drive runoff end up.

Send downspouts and drive runoff into a clean stone trench or a defined outlet instead of letting them sheet across a slope. That is where Drain Rock and 2B stone earn their place. Riprap armors ditch and culvert outlets where flow concentrates.

Winter works the base too. Freeze-thaw cycles repeat every winter, and clay-rich soils that stay wet soften and heave, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Frost depth here 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.

Delivery to Kersey and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck, so the drop site needs room. Have the spot cleared and marked before the truck gets there, with a clear path in and overhead clearance checked. A full load is heavy, and soft ground after a wet spell will not hold it.

You order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. If you are unsure how much 2A modified your drive takes, size the load with the calculator before checkout, then pick your delivery date. Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers across Kersey and the rest of Elk County, including St. Marys, Ridgway, Johnsonburg, Weedville and Byrnedale.
