Screenings for Pathways in Uniontown, PA

Pennsylvania Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Uniontown, PA for two kinds of buyers: contractors who order by the truckload and homeowners fixing one walkway or driveway. Both usually need 2A modified for a base, but the paths around here call for screenings. Clay-rich ground on these hills holds water, so what you put on top matters as much as what goes under it.

Ground and Conditions in Uniontown

A thin base shows itself fast in Uniontown. The surface ruts, pumps, and works loose at the edges after a wet spring. Under that is usually silty clay over weathered shale, which softens when it stays wet and heaves through freeze-thaw.

Frost depth here is commonly about 36 inches, set by each municipality, so base thickness and drainage carry the load. Send roof and drive runoff somewhere other than the top of a slope. On hillside lots, water soaking into clay layers is what starts ground moving.

Landslides and slumping on steep clay slopes are a real concern in this part of the state, along with ditch washouts and stream bank scour after heavy rain. Plan base, driveway, and paver work from spring, once the ground has thawed and dried, into late fall. Rain on snow is when hillside ground is most likely to move.

Materials for Uniontown Projects

For walkways, beds, and garden paths, the fines are the point. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under pavers and flagstone and give a path a stable, walkable surface. They are the local choice for joints and bedding because they lock up instead of staying loose.

Around them, a few other materials do most of the work on Uniontown jobs:

• Screenings for paver and flagstone bedding, walkway surfacing, and pipe bedding.
• Walkway Gravel for paths and garden walks that need a finer, walkable surface.
• 2A Modified, the standard Pennsylvania base stone, for driveways, parking pads, and the compacted layer under a patio or shed.
• #8 Crushed Stone, also called 1B, for walkway topping and decorative chip.
• 2B Stone, clean washed stone with no fines, for drainage behind retaining walls and in wet spots where you want water to move.

For a path, the order is base first, then fines. A compacted 2A modified layer takes the traffic, and screenings or walkway gravel finish it. If water crosses the path, 2B under the fines keeps it from turning to mud.
