Buy #57 Stone in Smithmill, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Smithmill, PA, and we stock the materials this part of Clearfield County actually asks for. That starts with 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in that compacts hard under a drive. From there you can add clean stone, sand, soil or decorative rock to the same order.

Ground here is stony and often thin over sandstone, shale and old mine ground, so what you put down matters as much as how thick you spread it.

Materials for Smithmill Projects

Most orders in Smithmill start with a base. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, and it is what you want under a driveway, a parking pad, a shed or a patio. The fines let it lock together and stay put once it is compacted.

If your drive stays wet, switch the base to clean stone. 2B Stone is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, so water passes straight through instead of sitting in the base. #57 Stone is the same size class, and yards here sell it for drainage and wall backfill.

Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel for the surface you drive on. For a path or a garden walk, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, easier surface underfoot.

Beyond the base, we carry washed stone, sand, soil and decorative rock. Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone. Washed Sand goes under slabs and concrete, and Mason Sand mixes mortar and fills paver joints. Top Soil and Garden Soil finish lawns and raised beds. River Rock and 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel handle beds, borders and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Smithmill

Rain and snowmelt run fast off the steep valley sides around here. That water has to go somewhere, and it usually ends up in narrow valleys, roadside ditches, culverts and low drives. When it slows down, it drops what it is carrying.

That is why drainage decides how a drive holds up. A base with no fines lets water move through, while a base that traps water breaks apart at the surface. On a low or shaded drive, put clean stone such as 2B underneath and save the compacting base for the crown.

Runoff off steep slopes also gullies gravel roads and scours stream banks. RipRap armors ditch banks, culvert outlets and streambanks, sold here by R-number. #4 Crushed Stone works for construction entrances and underdrains, and Railroad Ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage.

Winter limits the work. Snow and frozen ground push base, driveway and paver jobs into the thawed, dry months from spring into fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground. Cold winters also bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and frost depth here commonly runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality, with the deeper figures in the mountains. Thin or poorly drained base breaks up under that.
