Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Ringtown, PA

What holds a slope above a Ringtown driveway when the spring thaw turns it soft? Coarse stone, set in the right layers. Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in Ringtown, PA, from 2A modified for the drive surface to rip rap for the swale below it. On these stony, folded slopes, what you put on the ground matters more than how much you spread.

Materials for Ringtown Projects

Around here the work usually starts with water. Ridges run long above the valleys, so runoff has to be caught and walked off the site before it scours anything. That takes coarse, clean stone at the bottom of the slope and packed stone where the surface needs to hold.

Work from the coarsest sizes down. Rip rap handles the ditch, culvert outlet and streambank work, sold by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger R-5 sizes for banks. Railroad ballast gives you heavy, open stone for hard standing and severe drainage where water has to move fast.

2B stone and #4 stone form the drainage layer under a drive or behind a wall. #4 handles construction entrances, subgrade stabilization and underdrains. 2B, the clean 3/4 inch stone Pennsylvania yards also call 3/4 inch clean stone, stays open so water passes through instead of freezing in place.

Then the base. 2A modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard, and it carries a driveway, parking pad, shed base or patio. Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone and bed pipes.

Ground and Conditions in Ringtown

Timing decides how a base turns out here. Spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall is the working window for base, driveway and paver work. Base stone should not 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 is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so the ground under your base is not the problem. Water sitting in it is.

In the limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes, so aim downspouts and swales away from the house. Runoff off the steep ridge slopes scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and stream banks cut back during heavy rain and snowmelt.
