Materials for Central Valley Projects

Most work here starts with grading and bed prep, and that starts with soil and fill. Fill dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base or topsoil goes down. Screened topsoil goes over it for lawns and beds, and garden soil fills raised beds and planting areas.

Under the soil, the base course does the structural work. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it is what driveways, parking pads and patio bases are built on. Crusher run works the same way where a binding material is wanted. Many New York yards sell the two as the same kind of material.

Washed stone handles water. #2 stone, also called 3/4 inch crushed stone, goes into drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. #57 stone covers French drains and concrete aggregate, and drain rock serves drywells and downspout runs. Riprap, also called riprap or stone fill, armors stream banks, culvert outlets and slopes.

Sand and decorative stone finish the job. Mason sand beds brick, block and paver joints. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs. Natural Pea Gravel and river rock dress walkways, play areas and dry creek beds.

Ground and Conditions in Central Valley

Water drives the ground here. Spring snowmelt, ice jams and heavy rain from coastal storms raise the Hudson and its tributaries. Clay and silt on the valley floors drain slowly and stay wet after a storm.

That shapes what you put down. A wet, slow-draining subgrade needs a drainage layer, so #2 stone and #57 stone earn their place under and beside a base. Where ledge rock sits close to the surface on the hills, grading is shallow and fill often has to build the grade instead.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and the silt and clay soils on valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. Footings usually go about 4 feet down, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Compaction stops when the ground freezes. Get base work in from spring thaw into late fall, and let soft clay ground dry before you roll it.

What stone should I use for drainage in Central Valley?
