Materials for New Kensington Projects

Most projects here start with the ground. Fill low spots and raise grade with Fill Dirt before anything else goes down. It backfills against foundations and builds up a lawn that sits too low.

Finish grade and seed with Top Soil. It is screened to pull out stones and roots, so it rakes clean and takes seed evenly. For raised beds and planting areas, Garden Soil gives roots something to work in.

Under patios, sheds and driveways, the base carries the load. 2A modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard. Order it at 2A Modified. For a top dressing on a drive that already has a solid base, use Driveway Gravel.

Wet ground changes the choice. In wet areas, clean stone lets water move instead of trapping it. 2B stone is washed crushed stone with no fines.

Ground and Conditions in New Kensington

Water drives the work here. Heavy rain and snowmelt run down steep hillsides, and water soaking into clay layers on slopes is the main landslide trigger around the Pittsburgh region. Where roof and drive runoff is sent matters on a hillside lot.

The ground below is flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone and coal beds weathered into silty, clay-rich soils. On hilly ground cut by steep valleys, that clay holds water. Many communities here also sit over old underground coal mines.

So route water away from the house and the drive. Use clean stone such as 2B for French drains and downspout runs. Rip rap armors ditch and culvert outlets where fast water scours the bank.

Freeze-thaw repeats every winter. Clay-rich soils that stay wet soften and heave, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality.

Time the work around the season. Base, driveway and paver jobs run from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Long wet spells and rain on snow are when hillside ground is most likely to move.

Questions from New Kensington Buyers

Can I order material by the ton for delivery in New Kensington?

Yes. Order online and set your quantity by the ton or by the yard, whichever suits the material. If you are not sure how much the job needs, enter your measurements in the calculator and it sizes the load for you. Then choose a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

What stone should I use for drainage in New Kensington?

Use clean stone. 2B stone is washed crushed stone with no fines, so water moves through it instead of packing tight. It works for French drains, downspout runs, drainage behind retaining walls and shed pads in wet areas. For larger ditch and culvert work, rip rap armors the outlet against fast water.
