Bulk Gravel Delivery to Saylorsburg, PA

Planning a patio, a driveway or a drainage run in Saylorsburg? Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Saylorsburg, PA, and the material most local jobs start with is 2A modified. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under pavers, pads and drives. On the stony till around here, that hard base is what keeps a patio flat.

Ground and Conditions in Saylorsburg

A thin base shows itself fast in this part of Monroe County. The ground is stony till over shale, siltstone and sandstone, and in many spots a dense layer sits not far down. Water perches above it from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet.

That wet layer is why a skinny base heaves. Long winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and frost depth here commonly runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality. Soils that hold water above the dense till are the ones that push a patio or drive up.

The fix is a base that drains and compacts. Put 2A modified down thick and compact it in lifts, and use clean stone where water needs to move. Do not build on frozen or muddy ground. Snow and soft ground can last well into spring, so base work waits until the ground thaws and drains, then runs into fall.

Materials for Saylorsburg Projects

For a patio, the bedding layer is where the job is won. Stone screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under pavers and flagstone and give you a surface you can set to grade. Over a compacted base, that bedding holds the pavers steady through a freeze-thaw winter.

Under the bedding goes the base. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it locks up hard. Pennsylvania buyers usually ask for 2A modified rather than Crusher Run for the same job.

Where water needs to pass, switch to clean stone. 2B Stone is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, used in French drains, behind retaining walls and under shed pads in wet areas. #8 Crushed Stone, the small clean chip local yards call 1B, tops walkways and mixes into concrete and asphalt.

Finish work takes its own materials. Washed Sand beds and levels under pavers and slabs, and River Rock handles decorative beds and dry creek beds. Around the yard, Top Soil is screened for lawns and final grading.

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or by the yard, whichever way you priced the job. If you are not sure how much the patio, drive or bed takes, size the load with the calculator before you check out. It turns your measurements into a number you can order.

At checkout you choose a delivery date, and a dump truck brings the material to your site in Saylorsburg. Think about where the truck can back in and where you want the pile dropped, because bulk stone does not move itself once it lands. Pennsylvania Rock Supply serves Monroe County, including East Stroudsburg, Tobyhanna, Stroudsburg, Mount Pocono and Effort.

Questions from Saylorsburg Buyers

What gravel is best for a driveway in Saylorsburg?

Start with 2A modified. It is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in, and it compacts hard enough to carry a truck. In wet ground, use 2B Stone, a clean washed stone that lets water pass instead of trapping it. Top the compacted base with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.

How much material will my project need?

It depends on the area you are covering and how deep the layer goes. You order by the ton or by the yard, so measure the length and width of the patio, drive or bed and decide on your depth. Enter those numbers into the calculator and it gives you the quantity to order. That keeps the load close to the job.
