Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or yard. The calculator sizes the load for you, so you are not guessing at a pile.

Pick a delivery date at checkout, and a dump truck brings the material to your site. Dryden sits in Tompkins County, and we also run loads to Ithaca, Lansing, Groton, Trumansburg and Newfield.

Tell us where the truck can set down. A driveway, a pad or a wide shoulder all work. On soft ground, a firm spot at the edge of the work saves you a mess later.

Materials for Dryden Projects

Most jobs here begin with fill and sub-base. Raising grade and building pads take bulk material, and that is what we run the most of into Dryden.

For a driveway, start with Item 4. It is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it builds the pad everything else sits on. Top it with Driveway Gravel for a finished surface.

For a patio or a shed base, Crusher Run compacts and binds, and many New York yards treat it and Item 4 as the same kind of material. Set pavers on Stone Dust, the usual local name for screenings.

For drainage, Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells and downspout runs. RipRap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and slopes against fast water.

Where the ground is low, Fill Dirt raises grade before a base or topsoil goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Dryden

The ground here is stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone. Many upland soils also carry a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface.

That subsoil is why an under-built base fails. Water sits in the till, the pad softens, and the stone moves. Dig out the soft material and bring in fill and Item 4 in lifts instead of one thick dump.

Heavy rain runs off the hillsides into narrow valleys, so creeks rise fast and flash flooding is a real hazard. That is where RipRap earns its place at culvert outlets and along stream banks.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring. Wet silty till heaves as the frost comes out, so time your pour and your compaction around it.

Questions from Dryden Buyers

What is the best base under pavers in Dryden?

Item 4 is the base, compacted in lifts so it locks up hard. Crusher Run works the same way where a binding material is wanted. On top of that base, bed the pavers in Stone Dust, the local name for screenings. The dense subsoil common on Dryden uplands holds water, so get the soft material out first and compact what you put back.
