Bulk Material Delivery in Markleysburg, PA

Rain and snowmelt move fast here, off steep valley sides and into narrow valleys, roadside ditches, culverts and low drives. That concentrated flow is what tears up banks and driveways. Pennsylvania Rock Supply sells gravel and aggregate delivery in Markleysburg, PA, with 2A modified as the base stone most jobs start with.

Above that base, coarse clean stone does the protection work. Order online by the ton or yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for Markleysburg Projects

Armor slopes and swales with the biggest clean stone you can place. Then step down in size for the base and the finish. Here is the range, coarsest to finest.

• RipRap for stream bank, ditch, culvert outlet and slope armoring. Pennsylvania yards sell it by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger sizes for banks and streambanks.
• #4 Crushed Stone for construction entrances, subgrade stabilization and underdrains.
• Railroad Ballast for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage.
• 2B Stone for French drains, drainage behind retaining walls and shed pads. Clean and washed, so water moves through and it never packs hard.
• 2A Modified for driveways, parking pads, shed and patio bases. Crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard.
• Screenings for paver and flagstone bedding and pipe bedding. Fine stone dust and chips that pack firm.

For a smaller clean chip on walkways and decorative topping, use 1B stone. For wet areas that need a coarse open-graded layer, ask for 2B or #57 stone. #67 Stone and #89 Crushed Stone cover drainage and concrete work at tighter sizes.

Ground and Conditions in Markleysburg

This is the North-central high plateau and Allegheny Mountains ground zone: sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate under thin to moderately deep, stony soils on broad uplands and ridges, cut by deep valleys. Coal beds and old mine ground turn up in parts of the zone.

Plan base, driveway and paver work for the thawed, dry months from spring into fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and this higher ground runs cooler and wetter than most of the state, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up.

Frost depth is commonly 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality, with the deeper figures in the mountains. Runoff off steep slopes gullies gravel roads, ditches and culvert outlets, and scours stream banks in narrow valleys. That is why the coarse end of the list matters here.
