Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Meyersdale, PA

Gravel and aggregate delivery in Meyersdale, PA runs on the working season. Winter snow and frozen ground shut down base, driveway and paver work, so most jobs land between spring and fall. Pennsylvania Rock Supply stocks 2A modified, the standard Pennsylvania base stone, and delivers it across Somerset County.

Timing matters as much as the material. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground, so plan the drop for a thawed, dry stretch.

Materials for Meyersdale Projects

Most orders here start with a driveway or a pad that has to hold up. 2A modified is the base stone for that work, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard.

If the drive drains poorly, the base is usually the problem. Clean stone lets water move instead of trapping it.

• 2A Modified: driveways, parking pads, shed and patio bases. The standard base stone in Pennsylvania.
• Driveway Gravel: surfacing an existing drive or topping a compacted 2A modified base.
• 2B Stone: clean, washed 3/4 inch stone for French drains, retaining wall backfill and shed pads in wet areas.
• Screenings: fine stone dust and chips for paver and flagstone bedding and pipe bedding.
• Top Soil: screened for lawns, final grading and bed prep.

Sand and decorative stone round out most orders. Use Mason Sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints, and Washed Sand for concrete and bedding under pavers and slabs. For beds and dry creek beds, River Rock and Large River Rock hold up better than loose chips on a slope.

Ground and Conditions in Meyersdale

Rain and snowmelt run fast off steep valley sides here. That sends concentrated flow into narrow valleys, roadside ditches, culverts and low drives, and it is the reason so many local jobs need drainage stone rather than more fill.

The ground under Meyersdale is sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate beneath thin to moderately deep, stony soils on the uplands. Coal beds and old mine ground turn up in parts of the area, so verify what you are building over before you order.

Runoff off steep slopes gullies gravel roads, ditches and culvert outlets, and it scours stream banks in the narrow valleys. Where a ditch or culvert outlet keeps cutting back, RipRap armors it. For a French drain or a downspout run, clean stone such as 2B Stone lets water through without packing.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the higher ground runs cooler and wetter than most of the state. A thin or poorly drained base breaks up under that cycle. Frost depth is commonly 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality, with the deeper figures in the mountains.
