Start with 2A modified for any base that has to carry weight. Then finish the walking surfaces with screenings and fines that pack firm underfoot.

Ground and Conditions in Lakeville

This is glaciated ground. Stony till sits on the uplands, and a dense layer often waits not far below the surface. Water perches above it from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet.

A thin base fails first here. It pumps, ruts and heaves once freeze-thaw cycles start working on wet soil. Frost depth runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality, so a skim coat of stone will not hold a driveway through a Wayne County winter.

The fix is a thicker compacted base and a clean drainage layer. Put 2A modified down in lifts and compact each one. Keep clean stone where water needs to move. Do not place base stone on frozen or muddy ground; snow and soft ground can last well into spring, so base work runs late spring into fall.

Snowmelt and heavy rain also scour roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives. Arm those spots before the next thaw cuts them deeper.

Materials for Lakeville Projects

Paths and walkways live or fail on their fines. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm and give you a smooth, stable surface for pavers, flagstone and plain garden paths. Use them as bedding under pavers and as the top layer on a walkway over a compacted base.

Pair screenings with the right base and edging stone. For a walkway that needs a finer, walkable surface, Walkway Gravel holds up well. Under patios and shed pads, 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard.

Where water has to drain, switch to clean stone. 2B Stone is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, so water moves through it instead of packing tight. Use it in French drains, behind retaining walls and under shed pads in wet areas.

For a small clean chip on walkways and decorative topping, #8 Crushed Stone, sold locally as 1B, stays put and looks tidy. Round out a planting bed or dry creek bed with River Rock.

Delivery to Lakeville and the Surrounding Area

Decide first whether you want tons or yards. Bulk stone is usually ordered by the ton; soils and sands are often ordered by the yard. Size the load with the calculator before you check out, so the truck brings what the job needs.

Then pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck arrives at your site in Lakeville and drops the load where you want it. Have the spot clear and reachable.

Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers across Wayne County, including Honesdale, Damascus, Sterling, Waymart and Hawley. If your driveway is tight or soft, say so when you order so the driver can plan the drop.
