Materials for Oakland Mills Projects

Slope, swale and bank protection come first in Juniata County. Coarse, clean stone moves water instead of holding it, so it belongs anywhere runoff runs fast.

Start at the top of the size range. RipRap is sold by R-number here, with R-4 for ditches and the larger R-5 sizes for stream banks and steep slopes. It locks together and holds ground that water is trying to take.

Step down a size for heavy drainage. #4 Crushed Stone handles construction entrances, underdrains and subgrade stabilization, and Railroad Ballast gives you hard standing and severe drainage in one coarse clean stone.

For French drains and wall backfill, 2B Stone is the washed 3/4 inch clean stone Pennsylvania yards stock for the job.

Then the fine end. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under pavers and flagstone. Top Soil and Shredded Mulch finish the beds and lawn once the stone work is done.

Ground and Conditions in Oakland Mills

This is folded bedrock country. Long sandstone ridges stand over valleys floored by shale, or by limestone and dolomite that weather to clay. Soils on the slopes run thin and stony.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Base stone should never 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. Frost depth here is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so check with your local building official before you plan a footing.

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.
