Materials for Sidman Projects

Drainage drives the material list here. Water needs a path through clean, washed stone that has no fines to pack solid. Base work then needs the opposite: crushed stone with the fines left in so it locks up hard.

Coarse clean stone

#4 Crushed Stone is the big clean stone for underdrains, construction entrances and subgrade stabilization. Railroad Ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage where flow is heavy.

RipRap armors what the runoff hits first: ditch banks, culvert outlets, stream banks and slopes. Pennsylvania yards sell it by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and the larger R-5 to R-7 sizes for banks and streambanks.

Washed stone for drains

2B Stone is the workhorse for French drains, downspout runs and drainage behind retaining walls. It is clean, washed crushed stone with no fines, so water moves through it and it never packs hard.

#57 Stone is the same size class, and #67 Stone runs slightly smaller for tighter drainage and concrete work. Drain Rock covers the same jobs for buyers who ask for it by that name.

Mid sizes and fines

#8 Crushed Stone, sold locally as 1B, is the small clean chip for walkways, decorative topping and mix work. #89 Crushed Stone and 3/8" Crushed Stone fit joints and tight bedding.

Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under pavers and flagstone and bed pipes. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

Ground and Conditions in Sidman

Sidman sits on the North-central high plateau and Allegheny Mountains ground. Sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate sit under thin to moderately deep, stony soils on broad uplands and wide ridges, cut by deep, steep-sided valleys. Coal beds and old mine ground turn up in parts of the zone.

That shape decides where water goes. Runoff off steep slopes gullies gravel roads, ditches and culvert outlets, and scours stream banks in the narrow valleys. Rain on snow can set off debris slides on mountainsides.

Timing matters as much as stone. Winter snow and frozen ground limit base, driveway and paver work to the thawed, dry months from spring into fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground. Cold winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the higher ground runs cooler and wetter than most of the state, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Frost depth is commonly 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality, with the deeper figures in the mountains.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Sidman?

Start with 2A modified as the base. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard and holds up through freeze-thaw. Top it with driveway gravel for the wearing surface. If your drive stays wet, put clean 2B stone in a drainage trench along the edge so water has somewhere to go.
