Gravel and aggregate delivery in Media, PA answers that with coarse stone that holds ground in place. Pennsylvania Rock Supply stocks 2A modified for compacting bases and clean stone for water. Order by the ton or yard and a dump truck brings it to your site.

Materials for Media Projects

Start with the coarsest stone when the job is holding a slope or a bank. RipRap is the heavy armor for stream banks, ditch lines, culvert outlets and steep faces. Pennsylvania yards sell it by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and the larger R-5 to R-7 sizes for banks and streambanks. RipRap locks together and stays put when water runs hard.

For dry creek beds and heavier decorative work, Large River Rock handles erosion and looks finished doing it. River Rock suits borders and lighter beds where the water is slow.

Then come the clean drainage sizes. 2B Stone is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, so water moves through it. Use it in French drains, behind retaining walls and under shed pads in wet ground.

Finer material finishes the work. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and patio bases. Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone and bed pipes. Top the whole job with Top Soil or Shredded Mulch.

Ground and Conditions in Media

Time your delivery to the working season. Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen, soft or muddy ground.

Media sits in the Southeastern Piedmont and Delaware River lowland. Ground here is mixed: loamy soils weathered from schist and gneiss on the uplands, red shale and sandstone in the lowlands, and limestone valley soils that weather to heavy clay. A narrow strip along the Delaware River is loose sand and gravel instead of rock.

Winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, so a thin or poorly drained base can heave and break up, even though frost does not reach as deep here as in most of the state. Frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches, set by each municipality, and the City of Philadelphia uses 30 inches. Heavy summer storms and spring rain run off built-up ground under municipal stormwater rules. Over limestone, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Clean stone and a drainage layer carry that water away.
