Bulk Material Delivery in Caledonia, NY

What do you order when water stands in the yard every spring? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Caledonia, NY, New York Rock Supply starts most drainage jobs with washed stone, not item 4. The clay and silt ground here drains slowly, so the stone that carries water away matters more than the stone you drive on.

Materials for Caledonia Projects

Drainage is the job that keeps coming back in this market. French drains, drywells and downspout runs all need stone with void space that lets water move instead of pooling. Here is what to order, from the coarsest washed stone down to the fine bedding material.

• #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances.
• Railroad Ballast where drainage has to be severe, such as hard standing and track beds.
• #57 Stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs, the size most drainage work calls for.
• Drain Rock for foundation drains and drywells that need open, washed stone.
• #8 Crushed Stone and #89 Crushed Stone for tight bedding and paver joints at the fine end.

Riprap and stone fill handle the other water problem. Stream banks, culvert outlets and ditches take RipRap, graded as light, medium or heavy stone fill depending on the slope and the flow it has to hold.

For drives and pads, Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. Many yards sell Crusher Run as the same kind of material, and some upstate crews call it rubble. Cap it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.

Bedding and finishing work runs finer. Stone Dust, also called screenings, sets paver and flagstone beds. Washed Sand levels and beds base under slabs, and Mason Sand handles brick and block work plus paver joints.

Ground and Conditions in Caledonia

This part of New York sits in the lake-effect snow belts, and the ground tells the story. Flat to gently rolling ground of silt, clay and sand was left by old glacial lakes, with drumlin hills and old beach ridges rising toward the southern hills. Muck fills some low spots.

Heavy snowpack melts in spring, and rain on slow-draining clay leaves water standing where it has nowhere to go. That is why a washed stone drainage layer under a driveway or around a foundation does more here than extra base thickness alone.

Plan base and driveway work from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, and clay ground can stay soft well into spring. Cold, snowy winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and the lake-bed silt and clay soils are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw. For footings, frost depth is usually about 4 feet down; the local building department sets the exact depth.
