River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in Stroudsburg, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Stroudsburg, PA. Most base work around here starts with 2A modified, the crushed stone with the fines left in that compacts hard under a drive or a shed pad. The ground in Monroe County stays wet in low spots from fall into late spring, so drainage stone matters as much as base stone on many jobs.

Materials for Stroudsburg Projects

Water is the driver on most Stroudsburg jobs. Clean, washed stone lets it move; material with fines packs tight and holds it. Those are the two families you choose between, and the size you pick comes down to the job.

Coarse stone for heavy work

Start at the top of the size range. #4 Crushed Stone goes down for construction entrances and subgrade stabilization, where you want big open voids. RipRap armors culvert outlets, ditches and stream banks, and it is sold by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger sizes for banks.

Washed stone for drainage

This is the drainage workhorse. 2B Stone is clean, washed crushed stone with no fines, so water passes straight through it. It is what you put in a French drain, behind a retaining wall, or under a downspout run. #57 Stone is the same idea, and #57 is the same size Pennsylvania yards call 2B.

For tight bedding, Screenings pack firm under pavers and flagstone. 1B Stone, about half an inch and down, suits walkways and decorative topping. River Rock and Large River Rock handle dry creek beds and borders.

Base and surface material

Once the drainage layer is right, the base goes down. 2A Modified is the standard Pennsylvania base stone for driveways, parking pads and patio bases. Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted base.

Ground and Conditions in Stroudsburg

This part of Pennsylvania is glaciated ground: stony till over shale, siltstone and sandstone, with sand and gravel in many valleys. The till layer below is often dense and slow to drain, and in many places water perches above it from fall into late spring. Low spots, drives and footings stay wet.

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. Long winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and wet soil above the dense till is prone to frost heave under a thin base.

That is why drainage comes first here. A clean washed layer under and behind the structure moves the water, and the base above it stays put. Snowmelt and heavy rain also scour roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives, which is where rip rap earns its place.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Stroudsburg?

Start with 2A modified. It is the standard Pennsylvania base stone, crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard and holds under traffic.
