Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Scotrun, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Scotrun, PA. Start with 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in, for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. It compacts hard once it is watered and rolled.

Scotrun sits in Monroe County, in the glaciated northeast, where stony till covers most of the uplands. That ground shapes what you order and how deep you build.

Delivery to Scotrun and the Surrounding Area

You order online and pick a quantity by the ton or by the yard. If you are not sure how much you need, size the load with the calculator before you check out. Then choose a delivery date at checkout.

A dump truck brings the material to your site and places it where you want it dropped. Bulk loads go to driveways, back yards and new builds across Scotrun and Monroe County. We also deliver to East Stroudsburg, Stroudsburg, Tobyhanna, Mount Pocono and Effort.

Have the drop spot cleared before the truck arrives. A full load is heavy, and soft ground in spring can rut under the tires.

Materials for Scotrun Projects

Landscaping work here leans on clean stone and soil, not just base material. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover take stone that drains and holds its color.

For a dry creek bed or a heavier border, use Large River Rock. It sits well on a slope and handles moving water without washing out. Standard River Rock works for decorative beds and edging where the stones stay put.

Walkways and garden paths take finer material. Walkway Gravel gives a walkable surface, and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel stays loose underfoot for paths and play areas. For a bed surface, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through the summer.

Under the decorative layer you still need a base. 2A Modified goes under a patio, a shed pad or a drive, and Screenings bed pavers and flagstone so they sit flat.

Ground and Conditions in Scotrun

The soil here is the first thing to plan around. Glacial deposits sit over shale, siltstone and sandstone, with stony till on the uplands and a dense layer not far down. Water perches above that layer from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet.

A thin base over wet ground fails fast. Freeze-thaw cycles push at anything under-built, and frost depth in this part of Pennsylvania commonly runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality. Wet soils above the dense till layer are the ones that heave.

Snowmelt and heavy rain also run off slow-draining ground. That scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and cuts into stream banks. Clean stone, the kind with no fines, is what moves that water.

Timing matters as much as material. Snow and soft ground can last well into spring, and base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground. Wait until the ground has thawed and drained, then work through fall.
