What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone is angular, with broken faces that lock together and compact. 2A modified is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it sets up hard as a base. Natural Pea Gravel is rounded natural stone, so it stays loose underfoot and works on walkways, play areas and drainage. Local yards sell clean crushed sizes such as 2B where water needs to move through.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

Either works, and the choice comes down to how you prefer to measure. You pick a quantity by the ton or yard when you order, and the calculator sizes the load for your project.

Monroe County 2A Modified and Gravel Delivery, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Monroe County, PA. Spring is the season that sets the schedule here. Snow and wet ground can last well into spring, so base work waits until the ground has thawed and drained. That pushes most driveway and paver jobs into late spring and runs them into fall.

Plan your order around that window. 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in, compacts hard and is the base most Monroe County drives and pads are built on. Order online, size the load with the calculator, and pick a delivery date at checkout.

Materials Delivered in Monroe County

Local yards still use the older Pennsylvania names alongside those numbers.

Base stone

2A modified is a trade name for a 2A-type base with extra fines added.

Fill dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a 2A modified base or topsoil goes down. Crusher run does the same compacting job with fines mixed in, though 2A modified is what most buyers here name.

Washed stone

2B stone is clean, washed crushed stone with no fines, so water moves through it. It goes into French drains, drainage behind retaining walls, and shed pads and drive bases in wet areas. 1B, the small clean chip, is sold here as #8 crushed stone for walkways and mixes. #4 stone is the large clean size for construction entrances and underdrains.

Sand, soil and decorative stone

Mason sand goes into brick and block mortar, paver joints and play areas. Washed sand, also called concrete sand, is used for concrete and for bedding under pavers and slabs. River rock and large river rock cover decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground Conditions Across Monroe County

Monroe County spans two ground zones, and the water behaves differently in each. That changes what you order and when you can put it down.

Glaciated northeast and northwest

This zone covers East Stroudsburg, Tobyhanna, Stroudsburg and Mount Pocono. Glacial deposits sit over shale, siltstone and sandstone, with stony till on the uplands.

Water perches above that dense layer from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet. Snowmelt and heavy rain add to it, and wetlands are common. Clean stone such as 2B lets that water move. Long, cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and wet soils above the dense till are prone to frost heave under a thin base. Frost depth is commonly 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality.

Great Valley and Ridge and Valley

This zone covers Effort, Brodheadsville, Gilbert and Kresgeville. Bedrock is folded here.

Rain and snowmelt run off the steep ridge slopes into the valleys. In limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Frost depth here is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality.

Choosing the Right Material

Neighboring counties show how the choice shifts. Carbon County spans the Great Valley and Ridge and Valley zone and the Glaciated northeast and northwest.

Luzerne County also spans both zones. Its mix of glaciated ground and ridge and valley terrain matches what you work with here, so a driveway base or a French drain takes the same approach on both sides of the line.

Lackawanna County sits in the Glaciated northeast and northwest, the same zone as East Stroudsburg and Tobyhanna. Glacial deposits over shale, siltstone and sandstone, with stony till on the uplands and a dense, slow-draining layer not far down. The ground is similar, so wet-area drainage and compacting base work follow the same pattern.
