Materials for Canastota Projects

Most work here starts with fill and sub-base. Raising grade or building a pad means Fill Dirt first, then a compacting stone over it. Item 4 is the standard New York name for that subbase stone, and it is what goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases.

For a driveway, build up with Item 4 and compact it in lifts, then top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface. Many yards sell Crusher Run as the same kind of binding base material, so either works under a drive.

For a patio, set bedding on Stone Dust, the usual New York name for screenings. For a drain, use Drain Rock in the trench, or #57 Stone for French drains and concrete aggregate.

Ground and Conditions in Canastota

The ground here is flat to gently rolling silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, with drumlin hills and stony glacial till rising toward the southern hills. Swampy muck fills some low areas. Clay and silt do not drain fast, so an under-built base moves.

Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack in belts south and east of the lakes. Spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on that slow-draining clay. Plan your base and your drainage layer for that water, not for a dry week in August.

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. Frost depth runs about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall, and clay ground can stay soft into spring.
