Ligonier sits on high, stony ground, so the material under your path matters as much as the stone on top of it.

Ground and Conditions in Ligonier

A path fails from the bottom up. When the base is too thin, it holds water and softens, and the surface above it ruts and settles. That is what a thin base looks like after a hard winter here.

This part of Westmoreland County sits on the high plateau and Allegheny Mountains ground zone. Sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate lie under thin to moderately deep stony soils. Wide ridges drop into deep, steep-sided valleys.

Rain and snowmelt run fast off those valley sides. Concentrated flow reaches narrow valleys, roadside ditches, culverts and low drives, then gullies gravel roads and scours stream banks.

Winter snow and frozen ground push the work into the thawed, dry months from spring into fall. Never put base stone down on frozen or muddy ground.

Materials for Ligonier Projects

The pathway angle is fines. A walkable surface needs crushed stone that contains dust and small chips, because that blend compacts and locks. Clean washed stone stays loose underfoot and belongs in drainage, not underfoot.

Start with Screenings, also called stone dust. Fine crushed stone under a quarter inch packs firm, so it beds pavers and flagstone, surfaces walkways and beds pipe. It is the standard setting layer under a hard path.

Under that setting layer goes 2A Modified, the standard Pennsylvania base stone. Crushed stone with the fines left in compacts hard, which is why it carries driveways, parking pads and shed and patio bases. Buyers here ask for 2A modified by name.

Top the path with Walkway Gravel when you want a finer, walkable finish. For a rounded look, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel covers walkways, play areas and drainage, and it stays loose because it is natural stone rather than crushed.

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