Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Moosic, PA

Start with the calculator. Punch in your length, width and depth, and it sizes the load before you commit to anything. Then pick your material. For gravel and aggregate delivery in Moosic, PA, most jobs here start with 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in that compacts hard. Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers it across Lackawanna County.

If you are building up a low corner or setting a shed pad, you will likely want fill first and 2A modified over the top. The calculator handles both.

Delivery to Moosic and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your ton or yard count at checkout, then choose a delivery date that works for the crew. A dump truck brings the load to your site and drops it where you want it.

We deliver through Moosic and the rest of Lackawanna County, including Scranton, Carbondale, Old Forge, Archbald and Taylor. If the driveway is tight or the ground is soft, tell us where the truck can get in and out so the drop goes clean.

Bulk stone and soil come by the ton or the yard. The calculator does the sizing so you can order the right amount in one pass instead of guessing at it.

Materials for Moosic Projects

Most work around here starts below grade. Raising a low lot, building up a pad, or fixing a drive that has settled means fill and base stone before anything else goes down. Match the material to the job.

Driveways and parking pads

Build the base with 2A modified, then top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface. A shed pad or patio base follows the same recipe: compacted 2A modified first, then your finish layer.

Drainage and wet spots

Where water sits, clean stone lets it move. Use 2B Stone for French drains and drainage behind retaining walls. For downspout runs and footing drains, Drain Rock works with either.

Filling and raising grade

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots. Bring it up in lifts, compact it, then cap it with 2A modified before topsoil or a hard surface goes on. Cap with Top Soil where lawn or beds are going.

Patios, walkways and bedding

Set pavers and flagstone on Screenings, which packs firm under the unit. Finish walkways with Walkway Gravel or, in beds and borders, River Rock.

Concrete and mortar

Use Washed Sand for concrete and bedding, and Mason Sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Moosic

This part of Pennsylvania sits on glacial deposits over shale, siltstone and sandstone. Uplands carry stony till, and a dense, slow-draining layer often sits not far below the surface. Many valleys hold sand and gravel instead.

That dense layer is what catches you. Water perches above it from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet. Snowmelt and heavy rain add to it, and wetlands are common. An under-built base over wet ground will not hold.

So build for drainage first. Clean stone such as 2B in a wet base lets water through instead of trapping it. Compact 2A modified in lifts once the subgrade is dry, and do not lay base stone on frozen or muddy ground. Long winters bring repeated freeze-thaw, and wet soils above the dense till are prone to frost heave under a thin base; frost depth here commonly runs 36 to 42 inches and is set by each municipality.

Timing matters too. Snow and soft ground can last well into spring, so base work waits until the ground has thawed and drained, then runs into fall. Snowmelt and heavy rain also scour roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and cut into stream banks, which is where rip rap earns its place.

Order 2A Modified for Your Moosic Job

For most work in Moosic, the answer starts with 2A modified: it is the base that carries driveways, pads and patios when it goes down on ground that has drained. Add clean stone where water sits, fill where grade is low, and your finish layer on top. Size the load with the calculator and place your order online for delivery.
