Materials for Terre Hill Projects

Storm runoff off paved ground scours banks, ditches and culvert outlets, so coarse clean stone does most of the heavy work on sloped ground. Here is how the sizes break down, coarsest to finest.

For a ditch or swale, rip rap is the coarse stone that holds the channel when water comes hard off a roof or a drive. R-4 handles ditches; step up to the larger sizes for banks and streambanks.

Behind a retaining wall or at the end of a downspout run, use 2B Stone. It is washed clean, so water passes through instead of packing tight.

On a driveway or parking pad, 2A Modified goes down first and compacts into a hard, bound surface. Driveway Gravel tops a base that has already been rolled in.

For finish work, Screenings bed pavers and flagstone, while Top Soil and Garden Soil handle lawns and beds once the stone is set.

Ground and Conditions in Terre Hill

This corner of the state sits on mixed Piedmont ground: loamy soils on the uplands, red shale and sandstone in the lowlands, and limestone valleys where the soil weathers to heavy clay. That clay holds water and stays soft long after a storm.

Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Do not put base stone down on frozen, soft or muddy ground. It will not compact, and you will be redoing it.

Winters here bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and frost depth runs about 30 to 36 inches, set by each municipality. A thin or poorly drained base can heave and break up over a season, so drainage stone and a compacted base matter more than raw thickness.

Over limestone valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Moving that water away with clean stone is the practical answer.
