Materials for Thompsontown Projects

Water is the enemy here. Ditches scour, culvert outlets wash out, and gravel drives rut every spring. Coarse, clean stone is what fixes those spots, so start big and work down.

RipRap is the heavy answer for stream banks, ditch lines, culvert outlets and slope armoring. Pennsylvania yards sell it by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger sizes for banks. It locks together and holds ground that moving water would otherwise cut away.

#4 Crushed Stone suits construction entrances, underdrains and subgrade stabilization, where you need open voids and weight. Railroad Ballast goes a step coarser for hard standing and severe drainage.

For a French drain, a downspout run or backfill behind a retaining wall, use clean stone that lets water pass. 2B Stone is the local pick, washed crushed stone with no fines.

When you need a hard, compacted surface rather than drainage, switch to 2A modified. It is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it packs tight and stays put under a drive, a parking pad or a shed base. Top it with Driveway Gravel for a finished running surface.

Ground and Conditions in Thompsontown

Timing matters as much as material. Base, driveway and paver work runs from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Base stone should not go down on frozen, soft or muddy ground, because it will not compact and it will move later.

This is folded bedrock country: long sandstone ridges with thin, stony soils, and valleys floored by shale or by limestone and dolomite that weather to clay. Winter brings repeated freeze-thaw cycles that heave a thin base or one that holds water. Frost depth is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so build the base to handle that movement.

In the limestone and dolomite valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes. Route water away from the house and spread it out before it soaks in at one spot. Clean stone under a downspout run helps.
