Gravel, Stone and Soil for Perry County, PA
Order gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Perry County, PA online by the ton or the yard. Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers 2A modified, clean stone, sand, topsoil and mulch to your site.

Buyers here build on rock and clay, and both change what you order.
Materials delivered in Perry County
2A modified leads the list. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard and locks up. Local yards specify it as the base stone.
Order 2A modified for driveways, parking pads, and shed and patio bases. Pair it with these materials.
Choosing the right material
Start with the job. A drive or pad needs 2A modified for the base. Wet ground or a wall needs clean stone that drains: 2B or #57. Bedding under pavers takes screenings. Fill dirt raises grade before the base goes down.
Neighbours in the same ground zone face the same call. Cumberland County and Juniata County sit in the same folded bedrock country, so the base and drainage choices match Perry County's. Dauphin County spans into the Southeastern Piedmont and Delaware River lowland, where ground drains differently and a base may want less stone and more attention to where water goes.
Match the stone to the water, not to the label on the pile.
Ground conditions across Perry County
A thin base shows its failure early here. Freeze-thaw cycles heave it, and water trapped in it breaks it up. Frost depth runs about 36 inches, set by each municipality.
The fix is a base built to the right depth on ground that drains. Keep fines out of the drainage layer. Use clean stone such as 2B where water has to move. In limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes, so route water away from the house and the pad.
Ridge slopes feed the rest. Runoff scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and stream banks cut back during heavy rain and snowmelt. Riprap armors those edges. Work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Do not put base stone on frozen, soft or muddy ground.
