Materials for Millmont Projects

Water is the job here. Roof runoff, gutter outlets and downspout runs need clean stone that will not pack tight, because packed stone holds water instead of passing it. French drains, drywells and drainage behind retaining walls all call for washed material with the fines gone. Listed coarsest to finest, here is what each size does.

2B stone is the workhorse for a drain, and 2B is the same size Pennsylvania yards call 3/4 inch clean stone. It has no fines, so water moves through and the stone never packs hard. For concrete aggregate and backfill, #57 stone does the same job at a size crews already spec. 1B, the small clean chip, tops walkways and beds.

Where you need a base instead of a drain, use 2A modified. This is crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard, and it is the standard Pennsylvania base stone for driveways, parking pads and shed and patio bases. A wet, soft drive wants 2A modified under it and clean stone at the edges to let water escape.

Riprap armors what the runoff keeps cutting. Use R-4 for ditches and culvert outlets, and larger R-5 to R-7 sizes on stream banks and slopes. Add Top Soil for final grading and Shredded Mulch for beds once the grade is right.

Ground and Conditions in Millmont

This is folded bedrock country: long sandstone ridges, thin stony soils, and valleys floored by shale or by limestone and dolomite that weather to clay. In the anthracite coal fields the ground is broken up by old strip mines and waste piles, so what you hit below grade changes fast.

In the limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Route that water away from the foundation with clean stone and a proper outfall before you surface anything.

Time the work to 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. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles that heave and break up a thin base or one that holds water, so build the drainage layer to shed water and let the base drain. Frost depth here is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality.
