Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Snydersburg, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Snydersburg, PA. Heavy rain and snowmelt pour off these steep hillsides, and clay-rich ground on the slopes holds that water instead of shedding it. Coarse, clean stone is how you move it along. Start with 2A modified for a base that compacts hard, then layer clean stone over it where water has to pass through.

Materials for Snydersburg Projects

Water is the problem here, so the sizes below run coarsest to finest. Big clean rock armors ground that moves. Smaller clean stone moves water. Fine material packs firm under whatever sits on top.

• RipRap: stream bank, ditch, culvert outlet and slope armoring. 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.
• #4 Crushed Stone: large clean stone for construction entrances, subgrade stabilization and underdrains.
• Railroad Ballast: heavy coarse clean stone for hard standing, track beds and severe drainage.
• 2B Stone: French drains, drainage behind retaining walls, shed pads and drive bases in wet areas. Clean, washed crushed stone with no fines, so water moves through it and it does not pack hard.
• #57 Stone: drainage, retaining wall backfill and concrete aggregate.
• Screenings: paver and flagstone bedding, walkway surfacing and pipe bedding. Fine crushed stone dust and chips under a quarter inch that packs firm.

For a compacting base, ask for 2A Modified. It is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in, and it locks up tight under a driveway, a parking pad or a shed. Crusher Run does the same job with fines mixed in, though most buyers here just ask for 2A modified. Cap either one with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.

Ground and Conditions in Snydersburg

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, so timing a delivery matters more here than in flat country.

This is Western Pennsylvania plateau hills: flat-lying shale, siltstone, sandstone, claystone and coal beds weathered into silty, clay-rich soils, on hilly ground cut by steep valleys. Clay that stays wet softens and heaves through repeated freeze-thaw cycles every winter, and a thin or poorly drained base breaks up under it. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality.

Where roof and drive runoff goes decides a lot on a hillside lot. Send downspouts and driveway water into clean stone, not onto bare clay. A French drain of 2B stone, or #57 stone where a slightly different clean size is wanted, carries that water away. Line ditches and culvert outlets with RipRap so heavy rain does not scour them out.
