Materials for Patton Projects

Most Patton yards start with landscape work: beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover. Decorative stone carries that job, and a few base and bedding materials hold it together underneath.

River Rock is the workhorse for beds and borders. It dresses a planting bed and lines a dry creek bed that moves runoff off a slope.

Large River Rock handles heavier decorative work and erosion control. Use it where a dry creek bed takes real flow and small stone would wash out.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded stone, not crushed, so it stays loose underfoot. It suits walkways, play areas and light drainage.

Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone. 2A Modified goes below them: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard into a driveway or patio base.

Shredded Mulch finishes the beds and holds moisture through summer.

Ground and Conditions in Patton

Patton sits in the Western Pennsylvania plateau hills. The ground is flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone and coal beds, weathered into silty, clay-rich soils on hilly land cut by steep valleys.

Clay holds water. A base built thin or poorly drained on that ground softens, heaves and breaks up. Build the base for the soil you have, not the soil you want.

Freeze-thaw runs every winter here, and frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality. Wet clay that freezes and thaws moves. Clean stone drains it, and 2A modified compacts into a hard, stable layer above it.

Water is the main driver. Rain soaking into clay layers on slopes is the leading cause of landslides and slumping in this region, and steep hillsides are where it shows first. Stream banks scour and ditches wash out after heavy rain.

Send roof and drive runoff somewhere safe. A dry creek bed lined with river rock, or a French drain packed with 2B stone, moves water instead of letting it sit against a slope.

Timing matters too. Base, driveway and paver work runs 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. Wait for dry ground.
