Materials for Shinglehouse Projects

Decorative work is what most Shinglehouse yards get asked about, and it usually sits on top of a base. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all want different stone, so pick by the job you are finishing.

For beds and tree rings, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through the summer. Where you want stone instead, River Rock covers beds and borders, and Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and heavier erosion work. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded rather than crushed, so it stays loose underfoot on walkways and play areas.

• 2A Modified: the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed with the fines left in so it compacts hard under drives, pads and patio bases.
• 2B Stone: clean, washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, so water moves through it in French drains and behind walls.
• Screenings: fine stone dust and chips that pack firm under pavers and flagstone.
• Top Soil: screened to take out stones and roots for lawns and final grading.
• RipRap: coarse armor for ditch banks, culvert outlets and slopes, sold by R-number.

Driveway work follows the same logic. Put down 2A modified, compact it, then top with Driveway Gravel if you want a fresh wearing surface.

Ground and Conditions in Shinglehouse

Glacial deposits sit over shale, siltstone and sandstone here. Uplands carry stony till, and a dense, slow-draining layer often sits not far below the surface, with sand and gravel in many valleys.

That dense layer is why water perches above it from fall into late spring. Low spots, drives and footings stay wet, snowmelt and heavy rain add to it, and wetlands are common. An under-built base on ground like that moves and ruts.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and wet soil above the till is prone to frost heave under a thin base. Frost depth commonly runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality. Snow and soft ground can last well into spring, so base work waits until the ground has thawed and drained, then runs into fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground.

Runoff off slow-draining soils scours roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, and cuts into stream banks. RipRap and clean stone at outlets take that hit better than fines.
