Materials for Locust Gap Projects

Soil and fill do the heavy lifting on most jobs here. Raise grade, fill low spots, and backfill before any base or seed goes down. Build the grade first, then pick the surface.

• Fill Dirt: raising grade, filling low spots and backfilling before a 2A modified base or topsoil goes down.
• Top Soil: lawns, final grading and bed prep, screened to take out stones and roots.
• Garden Soil: raised beds and planting areas.
• 2A Modified: the standard Pennsylvania base stone, with the fines left in so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases.
• Screenings: paver and flagstone bedding, walkway surfacing and pipe bedding. Stone dust and chips that pack firm.

Sand follows the same logic. Use Mason Sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and play sand. Use Washed Sand for concrete and bedding under pavers and slabs.

For drainage, reach for clean stone. 2B Stone handles French drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls. It is washed, so water moves through it and it will not pack hard.

Ground and Conditions in Locust Gap

Rain and snowmelt run off the steep ridge slopes and drop into the valleys. Where that water lands decides how a job holds up. Send it somewhere on purpose.

Valley ground here is floored by shale or by limestone and dolomite that weathers to clay. Clay holds water, so a base laid on it stays soft. Stone ridges above carry thin, stony soils instead.

In the anthracite coal fields, old strip mines and waste piles break up the ground. Expect uneven subgrade and plan for it before you order.

In limestone and dolomite valleys, concentrated runoff from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Route water away from the structure and spread it out.

Runoff scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives. It cuts stream banks during heavy rain and snowmelt. Line those spots with RipRap or slow the flow first.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles. That heaves and breaks up a thin base or one that holds water. Frost depth 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. Do not put base stone down on frozen, soft or muddy ground.
