#1 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Baldwinsville, NY
New York Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Baldwinsville, NY, and the ground here sets the plan before any truck rolls. The flat lake-bed silt and clay around Baldwinsville drains slowly, so water sits where you least want it. That is why item 4 goes down first as a compacting subbase, and why washed stone does the drainage work above it.

Materials for Baldwinsville Projects
Drainage decides most of the work around here. Spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on slow clay, so a driveway, patio or downspout run that cannot shed water will pump and rut no matter how thick the stone looks. Washed stone is the fix, because the voids between the stones let water move instead of holding it.
Start coarse and work finer. The coarsest sizes carry the most water and the heaviest loads; the finest bed pavers and top dress a compacted base.
For a French drain or a drywell, #57 stone and drain rock are the usual picks. Both are washed, so fines will not wash in and seal the voids over time.
Downspout runs and pipe bedding want a smaller, cleaner stone. #2 stone is the standard New York size for septic beds and backfill, while #1 stone suits finer drainage and topping over a compacted base.
Under all of it sits the base. Item 4 is the New York name for compacting subbase stone, and many yards sell crusher run as the same kind of material. Where a binding surface is wanted, crusher run does that job, then driveway gravel tops it.

A dump truck delivers to the site and places the load where you point. If the ground is soft from thaw or rain, think about where the truck can stand and how far the stone has to move once it is down.
Ground and Conditions in Baldwinsville
Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, and clay ground can stay soft well into spring, so timing a delivery matters as much as the material itself.
Cold, snowy winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and the lake-bed silt and clay soils here are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, with the local building department setting the exact depth.
Plan around that cycle. Dig when the ground is workable, compact in lifts, and let the drainage stone do its job so meltwater has somewhere to go instead of sitting under the base.
