Ground and Conditions in Cohocton

A thin base fails first. It ruts, pumps, and pushes out at the edges after a wet spring. Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills here, and many upland soils carry a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface.

Heavy rain also runs fast off steep hillsides into narrow valleys. Creeks rise quickly, and flash flooding scours stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches. Bare soil on steep slopes washes out in heavy rain.

The fix is a compacted base with a drainage layer and stone that lets water move. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it is what driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases are built on. Build it in lifts and compact each one.

Time the work around the season. Base and driveway work runs 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, and wet silty till can heave and turn soft as frost comes out of the ground.

Materials for Cohocton Projects

Fine materials finish paths and walkways. Stone dust, also called screenings, is the usual New York name for screenings, and it beds pavers, flagstone and patios and tops fine pathways. It locks tight once it is wetted and compacted.

Walkway gravel gives you a finer, walkable surface for garden paths. Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, suits walkways, play areas and drainage. River rock and large river rock build decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, and the larger size handles heavier erosion work.

Under and around those paths, the stone sizes do the drainage work:

Item 4 and crusher run cover the base and drives. Many New York yards sell crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of material, so ask for either by name. Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted item 4 base.

For water, #2 stone handles drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill, and #1 stone covers fine drainage, pipe bedding, walkways and topping over a compacted base. Both sizes are sold by those names at New York yards. Fill dirt raises grade and backfills before a base or topsoil goes down.
