Materials for Chichester Projects

Decorative rock carries a lot of yards here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover are what most homeowners call about, and that work asks for a different order than a driveway does.

For a driveway, start with Item 4 as the compacting base and top it with Driveway Gravel for the surface you actually drive on. For a patio, set pavers or flagstone on Stone Dust; New York yards call it screenings, and it beds and locks the stone. For drainage, a French drain or drywell wants Drain Rock or a washed size like #57 Stone so water moves instead of pooling.

For the landscape side, River Rock dresses beds and borders and builds dry creek beds that handle runoff. Large River Rock takes the heavier erosion work at the same time. Add Shredded Mulch in planting beds to hold moisture through a hot summer.

Ground and Conditions in Chichester

Chichester sits in the Hudson Valley, where stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills. Many upland soils hide a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface, and valley floors carry gravel, sand and silt.

That dense layer is why an under-built base fails. Water sits in the subsoil, works into the base and softens it, so the base has to drain as well as compact. Heavy rain also runs fast off steep hillsides into narrow valleys, so creeks rise quickly and flash flooding repeats.

Fast-rising creeks scour stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches. Bare soil on steep slopes washes out in heavy rain. That is where rip rap and large river rock earn their place, armoring banks, outlets and slopes against runoff and ice.

Timing matters too. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring. Wet silty till also heaves and turns soft as frost comes out of the ground, so plan that work for drier weeks.
