#67 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Pleasantville, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Pleasantville, PA, and 2A modified is the base stone most jobs here start with. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Rain and snowmelt move fast off the steep valley sides around Venango County, so drainage matters as much as base.

Materials for Pleasantville Projects

Water is the thing that ruins a base, so start with clean stone where water has to move. 2B stone is washed 3/4 inch crushed stone with no fines. It drains, so it belongs in French drains, behind retaining walls and under shed pads in wet ground.

#57 Stone is the same size stone. Use it for drainage, retaining wall backfill and concrete aggregate. #67 Stone is a slightly smaller clean stone for the same drainage work and for concrete.

For a downspout run or a drywell, the stone has to stay open. Drain Rock covers those runs, and #8 Crushed Stone is the small clean chip, about half an inch and down, that yards here call 1B. It works for walkways and as a topping.

When the base has to lock up instead of drain, go the other way. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone for driveways and pads. Crusher Run does the same compacting job with fines mixed in, and Screenings pack firm for paver and flagstone bedding.

Sand, soil and decorative stone round out most orders.

• Washed Sand for concrete and bedding under pavers and slabs.
• Mason Sand for brick and block mortar and paver joints.
• Top Soil for lawns and final grading, screened to take out stones and roots.
• Fill Dirt for raising grade and filling low spots before a base goes down.
• RipRap for ditch, culvert outlet and stream bank armoring.
• River Rock for decorative beds and dry creek beds.

Match the stone to the job and the order gets simple. Loose, open stone for movement. Tight, compacting stone for load.

Ground and Conditions in Pleasantville

Winter sets the calendar here. Snow and frozen ground shut down base, driveway and paver work, so most of it happens in the thawed, dry months from spring into fall.

Do not put base stone down on frozen or muddy ground. It will not compact, and the first thaw will move it. Wait for dry ground.

The ground itself is sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate under thin to moderately deep, stony soils on the uplands and ridges. Deep, steep-sided valleys cut through, and old mine ground turns up in parts of this zone.

Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the higher ground runs cooler and wetter than most of the state. A thin or poorly drained base breaks up under that, so build the thickness and the drainage to match.

Runoff off steep slopes gullies gravel roads, ditches and culvert outlets, and it scours stream banks in the narrow valleys. That is why rip rap and clean drainage stone earn their place on a lot of jobs around here.
