Bulk Gravel Delivery to Tyrone, PA

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Tyrone, PA online. Pick your material, pick your quantity by the ton or the yard, and a dump truck brings it to your site. Pennsylvania Rock Supply stocks 2A modified for driveways and pads. Tyrone sits in Blair County, where folded bedrock leaves thin, stony ground on the ridges and clay in the valleys.

Ground and Conditions in Tyrone

A thin base shows itself fast here. Freeze-thaw cycles heave it, water gets in, and the surface breaks up by spring.

Frost depth runs about 36 inches, set by each municipality. That is a footing figure, not a base recipe. The real problem is drainage under the stone.

Rain and snowmelt run off the steep ridge slopes and scour roadside ditches, culvert outlets and gravel drives. Stream banks cut back during heavy rain.

Fix the water first, then build the base. Put clean stone where water needs to move. Put 2A modified where you need a surface that compacts hard.

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.

Materials for Tyrone Projects

Paths and walkways need fines. That is the material most Tyrone projects come down to. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under a paver or flagstone. They lock a walkway surface tight.

Start the walkway on 2A modified. It is the standard Pennsylvania base stone: crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard. Buyers here also ask for Crusher Run for the same job, though 2A modified is the usual call.

Top the base with Walkway Gravel for a finer, walkable surface. For loose paths that stay put underfoot, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is rounded stone with no sharp edges.

Where a walkway meets a wall or a downspout, switch to clean stone. 2B Stone lets water move through instead of packing tight. #89 Crushed Stone is the small washed stone for joints and tight bedding.

• Screenings for paver and flagstone bedding, plus pipe bedding.
• 2A Modified for the compacted base under paths, drives and pads.
• Walkway Gravel for the finished walking surface.
• 2B Stone for French drains and drainage behind retaining walls.

Yards here sell clean stone by number, so 2B and #57 Stone are the same size stone. Ask for either and you get stone that drains.

Delivery to Tyrone and the Surrounding Area
