Materials for Lucinda Projects

Coarse stone does the heavy work on slopes, swales and banks. Start big, then work down to the fines.

RipRap armors stream banks, ditch lines and culvert outlets. Pennsylvania yards sell it by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and the larger sizes for banks. Heavy water needs heavy stone.

#4 Crushed Stone is the large clean stone for construction entrances, underdrains and subgrade stabilization. Water moves through it and it does not pack.

Railroad Ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage where nothing finer will hold.

2B Stone, also called 2B clean stone or 3/4 inch clean stone, is the size most yards recommend for a French drain or drainage behind a retaining wall. It is washed, so no fines remain to seal it up.

Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under pavers and flagstone. Use them above a compacted base, never as the drainage layer.

For a drive, top a compacted 2A modified base with Driveway Gravel. For beds and borders, River Rock and larger stone hold a dry creek bed in place.

Ground and Conditions in Lucinda

Lucinda sits in the Western Pennsylvania plateau hills. Shale, sandstone and coal beds have weathered into silty, clay-rich soils on hilly ground cut by steep valleys. Many communities here sit over old underground coal mines.

That clay holds water. On a slope, saturated clay is the main trigger for slumping and landslides, so where roof and drive runoff goes matters. Send it to a swale or a stone-filled trench, not down the hill.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Long wet spells and rain on snow are when hillside ground is most likely to move.

Winter brings repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Clay soil that stays wet softens and heaves, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Build it thick and drain it. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality.

Questions About Stone in Lucinda

What stone should I use for drainage in Lucinda?

Use clean stone that water passes through. 2B Stone, also called 2B clean stone, is the usual pick for French drains and wall backfill. For ditch lines, culvert outlets and stream banks, step up to RipRap by R-number. 2A modified is a base stone and packs tight, so keep it out of the drainage layer.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the drop spot and mark anything the truck could hit, such as wires, pipes or a low branch. The driver needs firm ground and room to raise the bed. Know where you want the pile so it does not block the drive. If the ground is soft from rain, pick a dry stretch or move the drop point.
