Start with 2A modified. It is the standard base stone here, crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under a drive, a parking pad, or a shed base.

Materials for Snow Shoe Projects

Driveways and pads carry most of the work in Centre County. Build the base first, then surface it. 2A modified does the base. It locks up tight and sheds water off the crown.

Top an existing drive with Driveway Gravel once the base is compacted. For a path or a garden walk, Walkway Gravel gives a finer, walkable surface.

Wet ground changes the plan. Where water sits, skip the fines and use clean stone. 2B Stone is washed 3/4 inch stone with no fines, so water moves through it instead of packing hard. Yards here also call it 2B clean stone.

#67 Stone runs slightly smaller for tight drainage and concrete work.

Small clean chip has its own jobs. #8 Crushed Stone, sold as 1B around here, tops walkways and goes into asphalt and concrete mixes.

Sand and soil round out a load. Washed Sand beds pavers and slabs. Mason Sand mixes mortar and fills paver joints. Top Soil finishes lawns and beds, screened to pull out stones and roots.

Ground and Conditions in Snow Shoe

Water drives everything here. Heavy rain and snowmelt run down steep hillsides, and that water soaks into clay layers on the slopes. Wet clay is the main trigger for ground movement, so where roof and drive runoff goes matters on a hillside lot.

The ground under Snow Shoe is flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone, and coal beds, weathered into silty, clay-rich soil. Hilly ground gets cut by steep valleys. Many communities in this part of Pennsylvania sit over old underground coal mines.

Clay-rich soil that stays wet softens and heaves through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. A thin base or one that drains poorly breaks up fast. Frost depth runs about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so match your base depth to what your code official requires.

Erosion shows up as slumping on steep slopes and as stream bank scour and ditch washouts after heavy rain. Armor those spots with RipRap, sold by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger R-5 to R-7 sizes for banks.

Time the work around the season. 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.
