Materials for Lincoln University Projects

Around here a lot of the work is decorative and finish grade: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover. Those jobs want stone that looks right and drains right, on top of a base that does not move.

For beds and borders, river rock is the standard choice. It stays put, sheds rain and does not break down the way crushed stone does underfoot.

For a dry creek bed, large river rock handles the heavier water and the erosion work at the bottom of a slope. Line the bed first so water moves instead of pooling.

For walkways and garden paths, walkway gravel gives a finer, walkable surface. 1B stone is the small clean chip that works as a decorative topping over a compacted base.

Every one of those sits on a base. For a shed pad, a patio base or a drive, 2A modified is the Pennsylvania base stone, and it is what most of these jobs are built on.

Ground and Conditions in Lincoln University

This is mixed Piedmont ground. The uplands are loamy soils weathered from schist and gneiss, the lowlands run to red shale and sandstone, and the limestone valleys weather to heavy clay.

That mix is why an under-built base shows up so fast. Heavy clay holds water, a thin base stone layer over it moves under load, and a patio or drive starts to rut and settle.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, so a poorly drained base can heave and break up. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches, set by each municipality.

Summer storms and spring rain push runoff off built-up ground, and stormwater rules govern how it is managed. That runoff scours stream banks and washes out ditches, culvert outlets and sloped gravel drives, so plan for drainage instead of patching it later.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Skip base stone on frozen, soft or muddy ground.
