Materials for Scottdale Projects

Most jobs around here come down to a base layer and a clean stone for water. Get that pair right and the surface lasts. Here is how the families break down.

Base and Driveway Stone

2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base. Because the fines stay in the blend, it locks up tight under a plate compactor or a truck tire. It carries driveways, parking pads, shed floors and patio bases.

Crusher Run is the same idea, base material with the fines mixed in. Many yards treat the two names as one job.

Driveway Gravel goes on top once the base is compacted. It gives you the wearing surface you actually drive on.

Clean Stone and Drainage

2B Stone is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines. Water passes straight through, so it belongs in French drains, behind retaining walls and in wet drive sections.

#57 is what Pennsylvania yards call 2B, so ask for either and you get the same stone.

Drain Rock covers downspout runs and wall drains. For a finer chip, 1B Stone works on walkways and as a decorative top.

Sand, Soil and Fill

Washed Sand handles concrete and paver bedding. Mason Sand goes into brick and block mortar and paver joints.

Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots before a base goes down. Top Soil finishes lawns and beds. Screenings pack firm under flagstone and pavers.

Decorative Stone

River Rock and Large River Rock suit beds, borders and dry creek beds. Natural Pea Gravel stays loose underfoot, which is why it shows up on paths and play areas.

Ground and Conditions in Scottdale

Water is the whole story on these hillsides. Heavy rain and snowmelt run down the slopes, and clay layers trap that moisture on the way. Roof and drive runoff has to go somewhere deliberate, or it soaks in where you do not want it.

That is why a base gets built thick and drained rather than thin and dry. Clean stone under and beside the base moves water out. A poorly drained base in clay-rich soil softens and heaves through repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and then it breaks up.

Freeze-thaw runs every winter, and frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, though each municipality sets its own figure. Slumping and landslides on steep clay slopes are the regional concern, along with ditch washouts and stream bank scour after a hard storm.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Long wet spells and rain on snow are when hillside ground is most likely to move.
