Pennsylvania Rock Supply supplies 2A modified, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk, ordered online by the ton and delivered to your site.

Materials for Middleport Projects

Water is the job here. Clean washed stone lets it pass; base stone with fines locks up tight and stops it. We stock both, sorted by size, coarsest to finest.

Start a French drain with 2B stone, the clean 3/4 inch crushed stone Pennsylvania yards sell for drainage. It has no fines, so water passes through instead of pooling. #57 Stone is the same size class, and does the same work behind a wall or under a downspout run.

For a drywell or a ditch that takes heavy flow, #4 Crushed Stone gives you open voids and fast drainage. Riprap armors the places where water hits hard, at a culvert outlet or along a scoured bank. Pennsylvania yards sell it by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger sizes for streambanks.

Where you need a surface that packs hard, 2A modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in. Use it for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under pavers, flagstone and walkway surfaces.

Ground and Conditions in Middleport

Time your delivery around the 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.

The ground here is folded bedrock: sandstone ridges with thin, stony soils, and valleys floored by shale or by limestone and dolomite that weather to clay. In the anthracite coal fields, old strip mines and waste piles break up the ground further.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that heave and break up a thin base or one that holds water. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality. Build the base thick enough to drain, and keep water moving away from it.

In limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Route downspouts into clean stone or a drywell instead of letting them dump against the foundation.
