Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in South Sterling, PA

What does it take to stop a bank from washing out or a ditch from cutting deeper every storm? For most jobs around here, the answer starts with coarse, clean stone. Pennsylvania Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in South Sterling, PA, with 2A modified for bases and heavier stone for slope, swale and bank protection.

Wet ground and fast runoff are the two things you fight most in Wayne County. Choosing the right size stone does most of that work for you.

Materials for South Sterling Projects

Erosion work calls for stone that drains and stone that holds. Clean, coarse sizes let water pass and stay put on a slope, while the finer sizes go underneath to lock a base together.

Start coarsest. RipRap is the go-to for stream banks, culvert outlets, ditch lining and slope armoring. Yards here sell it by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and the larger sizes for streambanks. Railroad Ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage where you want heavy, open stone.

For French drains, downspout runs and drainage behind a retaining wall, use clean stone that never packs hard. 2B Stone is the standard 3/4 inch clean stone. Where you want something a little smaller for tight bedding, #89 Crushed Stone works well.

When a base has to go down and stay put, order 2A Modified. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under drives, parking pads and shed bases. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm for paver and flagstone bedding and pipe bedding.

Ground and Conditions in South Sterling

This part of Pennsylvania sits on glaciated ground: stony till on the uplands, often with a dense layer not far down that drains slowly. In many places water perches above that layer from fall into late spring, so low spots, drives and footings stay wet.

That is why timing matters as much as the stone itself. Snow and soft ground can last well into spring, so base work waits until the ground has thawed and drained, then runs into fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen or muddy ground.

Silt and clay hold water and move when it freezes, so a thin base over wet ground will heave. Long winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and frost depth here commonly runs 36 to 42 inches, set by each municipality. Build the base deep enough to bridge that movement, and give any low or wet area a clean drainage layer so water has somewhere to go.
