Bulk Material Delivery in Woodlyn, PA

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Woodlyn, PA, start with the calculator: enter your dimensions and it sizes the load by the ton or yard. Pennsylvania Rock Supply delivers 2A modified, washed stone, sand and soil in bulk. Woodlyn sits on mixed Piedmont ground, and the lowland soils hold water after a storm.

That makes drainage the first call on a lot of jobs around here. Clean stone moves water; base stone carries weight.

Materials for Woodlyn Projects

Washed stone does the drainage work on most Woodlyn jobs: French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Water moves through clean stone because there are no fines to pack solid.

For a French drain or a drywell, use 2B Stone. It is washed 3/4 inch clean stone, so it drains instead of holding water. #57 Stone is the same size the yards call 2B and works for retaining wall backfill and concrete aggregate. Where you want a smaller clean stone, #67 Stone fits. For tight bedding and pipe work, #89 Crushed Stone is a small washed stone.

Now work coarsest to finest. RipRap is the big clean stone for ditch and culvert outlet armoring, sold by R-number, with R-4 for ditches and larger sizes for banks. #4 Crushed Stone handles construction entrances and underdrains. Then the base stone: 2A Modified is crushed stone with the fines left in, so it compacts hard under driveways, parking pads and shed bases.

On top, #8 Crushed Stone is the small clean chip that Pennsylvania yards call 1B, good for walkways and decorative topping. Screenings, also called stone dust, pack firm under pavers and flagstone.

Ground and Conditions in Woodlyn

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 is about 30 to 36 inches, set by each municipality. A thin or poorly drained base can heave and break up even though frost does not reach as deep here as in most of the state. Clean stone under and around a base gives water somewhere to go.

Storm runoff off paved and built-up ground scours stream banks and washes out ditches, culvert outlets and sloped gravel drives. RipRap at the outlet and clean stone in the ditch take that water without moving. Over limestone valleys, runoff concentrated from roofs, gutters and drives can open sinkholes, so route water away from the house.
