Materials for Fillmore Projects

The landscape side of the yard is where most Fillmore jobs start: decorative rock, bed material, dry creek beds and ground cover. Here is what to order, sorted by the project in front of you.

Beds, borders and ground cover

River rock and large river rock are the workhorses for decorative beds, borders and dry creek beds, and the larger stone handles heavier erosion work where water moves. Natural Pea Gravel, sold here as pea stone, covers walkways, play areas and drainage strips.

Shredded mulch, also called bark mulch, goes under shrubs and around tree rings and holds moisture through the summer. Garden soil fills raised beds and planting areas, and screened topsoil, which most yards just call topsoil, preps lawns and beds over the stony glacial soils upstate.

Driveways and pads

Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it is what goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted item 4 base. Many New York yards sell crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of material, and crusher run works where you want a binding base that compacts hard.

Drains, patios and walkways

For drainage, #2 stone handles septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill, and drain rock goes in French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Stone dust, also called screenings, beds pavers, flagstone and patio stone. Mason sand works for brick and block and for paver joints, and washed sand levels and beds under slabs.

Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and slopes against runoff and ice. Walkway gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface than driveway stone.

Ground and Conditions in Fillmore

Ground conditions drive what you put under a base. Most of this zone is stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone, and plenty of upland soils carry a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface.

That dense layer is why an under-built base fails here. Water sits, the subgrade softens, and the stone above it moves. Putting down a compacted item 4 base gets you a layer that bridges that soft ground instead of sinking into it.

Heavy rain runs fast off the steep hillsides into narrow valleys, so creeks rise quickly and flash flooding comes back often. Fast-rising creeks scour stream banks, culvert outlets and road ditches, which is where riprap earns its place. Bare soil on steep slopes washes out quickly in heavy rain, so cover it.

On flatter uplands, the dense subsoil keeps water sitting after rain and snowmelt, so plan a drainage layer rather than hoping it drains on its own. Long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and wet silty till can heave and turn soft as frost comes out of the ground in spring. Footings usually sit about 4 feet down, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

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 well into spring, so time your delivery around that window.
