Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Myerstown, PA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Myerstown, PA, start by sizing the load with the calculator on the product you want. Punch in your dimensions, pick tons or yards, and you get a number you can take to checkout. Pennsylvania Rock Supply runs bulk trucks into Lebanon County with 2A modified, clean stone, sand and topsoil.

The valleys here sit on shale and limestone that weather to clay, so water has nowhere to go once it soaks in. Most of the work we send out is stone that moves that water or holds a bank in place.

Materials for Myerstown Projects

Ridges shed rain fast, and that runoff scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives before it ever reaches the valley floor. The stone that stops it is coarse stone, and you buy it by size. Here is the ladder, biggest to smallest.

RipRap is the armoring stone. Buy it by R-number: R-4 for ditch lining and culvert outlets, larger R-5 for stream banks and slopes that get hit hard. It locks together under fast water instead of washing out.

#4 Crushed Stone works at construction entrances, underdrains and subgrade stabilization. It is large clean stone with no fines, so it drains while it carries load.

2B Stone is the 3/4 inch clean stone Pennsylvania yards call 2B. Use it in French drains, behind retaining walls, and under shed pads or drive bases in wet spots. Water passes straight through and it never packs hard.

2A modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard. Driveways, parking pads, shed and patio bases all start here. Crusher Run is the same idea with fines mixed in, but most buyers around here ask for 2A modified for that job.

At the fine end, Screenings pack firm under pavers, flagstone and pipe. Top Soil is screened to pull out stones and roots, ready for final grading and seed.

Delivery to Myerstown and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or by the yard, and pick your delivery date at checkout. A dump truck then brings the load to your site. That is the whole process, and it works the same whether you are in Myerstown or just outside it.

We also deliver across Lebanon County, including Lebanon, Palmyra, Annville, Newmanstown and Jonestown. If your site is on one of the ridge roads or back a long lane, say so when you set the date so the driver knows what he is pulling into.

Have the drop spot cleared and marked before the truck rolls. A full load needs room to raise the bed and pull forward, so keep cars, trailers and equipment out of the way.

Ground and Conditions in Myerstown

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. Push a load onto a thawing subgrade and you are buying the same stone twice.

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. That is why a base that drains matters more here than a base that is simply thick.

In the limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Route that water away from the foundation and into clean stone, and keep an eye on any low spot that starts holding water after a storm.

Questions from Myerstown Buyers

What stone should I use for drainage in Myerstown?

Use clean stone with no fines. 2B Stone is the 3/4 inch clean stone local yards sell for French drains, downspout runs and backfill behind retaining walls. For a ditch or culvert outlet, step up to RipRap, sized R-4 for ditches and larger for banks.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

A clear, marked drop spot with room for the truck to raise its bed and pull forward. Move cars, trailers and equipment out of the way. If the ground is soft, tell us before the delivery date so the driver is not backing into mud. If you ordered 2A modified or RipRap, have your plan for where it goes settled.
