Materials for Mercer Projects

Mercer yards see a lot of landscape work, and that is where the decorative and clean stone earns its keep. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all take a different material. Match the stone to the job and it holds its look.

For a dry creek bed, line it with Large River Rock for the volume, then cap with River Rock so it reads as a streambed. That is the look most Mercer yards are after.

For garden paths and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded and stays loose underfoot. It is drainage-friendly, so a wet low spot does not turn into a bog. For beds, Top Soil and Shredded Mulch finish the planting areas.

Driveways take a compacting base. Order 2A Modified, the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed with the fines left in so it packs hard. Top it with Driveway Gravel if you want a fresh wearing surface over a compacted base.

Drainage behind a wall or a French drain wants clean stone with no fines, so water moves through. That is 2B Stone, or #57 Stone. Around a patio, Screenings bed the pavers and pack firm.

Ground and Conditions in Mercer

This part of the state sits in the glaciated northwest. The uplands carry stony till, and there is often a dense, slow-draining layer not far below the surface. Valleys hold sand and gravel.

That dense layer is why water perches above it from fall into late spring. Low spots, drives and footings stay wet, snowmelt and heavy rain add to it, and wetlands are common. A clean stone drainage layer under a base keeps that water moving instead of sitting.

Long winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and wet soils above the dense till are prone to frost heave under a thin base. Frost depth runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality. Base work waits until the ground has thawed and drained, and it runs into fall. Do not put base stone on frozen or muddy ground.
