Materials for Smithton Projects

Beds, borders and dry creek beds carry a lot of the work around here, so start with the decorative side. River Rock lines planting beds and borders, and Large River Rock builds dry creek beds and holds heavier erosion work on a slope. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded stone, so it stays loose underfoot on walkways and play areas.

For a drive, a patio or a drain, the base and drainage stone does the real work. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed with the fines left in so it compacts hard under a driveway, parking pad or shed base. 2B Stone is clean washed stone for French drains and drainage behind a retaining wall. Screenings pack firm for paver and flagstone bedding and for walkway surfacing.

Round out a landscape job with Top Soil for lawns and final grading, or Shredded Mulch for beds and tree rings. Sand and drain work takes Mason Sand for mortar and paver joints, or Washed Sand for concrete and leveling under slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Smithton

Smithton sits in the Western Pennsylvania plateau hills, where flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone and coal beds have weathered into silty, clay-rich soils on hilly ground cut by steep valleys. Many communities here sit over old underground coal mines. That mix matters when you build a base.

Heavy rain and snowmelt run down steep hillsides, and water soaking into clay layers on slopes is the main landslide trigger. Where you send roof and drive runoff matters on a hillside lot. Landslides and slumping on steep clay slopes, plus stream bank scour and ditch washouts after heavy rain, are the erosion patterns to plan around.

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles every winter work the same way: clay-rich soils that stay wet soften and heave, so a thin or poorly drained base breaks up. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality. 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.
