Materials for Cobleskill Projects

Steep hillsides shed water into narrow valleys. Coarse stone is the first line of defense. Then work down the sizes for the job at hand.

RipRap is the heavy armor. Set it on stream banks, culvert outlets, road ditches and slope toes where fast water scours bare soil.

#4 Crushed Stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. Use it where water moves in volume and the stone needs to stay put.

#57 Stone covers French drains, footing drains and concrete aggregate. Some New York yards sell this size range as a #1 and #2 blend.

Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. Build drives, parking pads, and patio or shed bases on it.

Finer work needs finer stone. Stone Dust beds pavers and flagstone. Top Soil finishes lawns and beds over the stony ground.

For decorative water features, Large River Rock builds dry creek beds that also slow runoff.

Ground and Conditions in Cobleskill

Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills. Many upland soils carry a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface. Valley floors carry gravel, sand and silt.

Plan base and driveway work from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring.

Long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing. Wet silty till can heave and turn soft as the frost comes out of the ground in spring. Frost depth usually runs about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

On steep ground, arm the slope before you build on it. Rip rap at the toe and in the swale keeps heavy rain from cutting the bank out from under a drive.

What stone should I use for drainage in Cobleskill?

Match the stone to the water. Rip rap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and slope toes where flow is fast and erosive. #4 Crushed Stone works for heavy drainage and trench bottoms. #57 Stone suits French drains, footing drains and pipe bedding. On flatter uplands where the dense subsoil holds water, a coarser open-graded stone keeps that water moving instead of sitting.

What should I have ready when the truck arrives?

Clear the route first. The driver needs room to turn and a firm spot to raise the bed and dump. Point out where you want the pile, and keep it back from soft shoulders and buried lines. Have your quantity settled before the truck rolls, since the load is measured by the ton or the yard. Order online, choose a delivery date at checkout, and the driver handles the rest at your site.
