#57 Stone and Bulk Aggregates for Forestport, NY

Where does the water go after it leaves your downspouts? That question drives most of the gravel and aggregate delivery in Forestport, NY, and New York Rock Supply answers it with washed stone sized for the job. On thin, stony ground over bedrock, water has nowhere to sit, so a French drain or drywell has to move it fast. Item 4 builds the compacted base under drives and pads, but drainage stone does the work underground.

Materials for Forestport Projects

Order drainage stone by size, coarsest to finest, and match each size to what it has to do. Washed stone lets water pass; item 4 and crusher run lock together and hold a surface. Most wet yards here need both.

• #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage, trench bottoms and construction entrances.
• #57 Stone for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Some yards sell this size range as a #1 and #2 blend.
• Drain Rock for foundation drains and drywells where water has to move fast.
• #2 Stone for septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill.
• #1 Stone for fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base.
• Stone Dust for paver and flagstone bedding, and fine pathways.

For the base itself, item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Crusher run does the same work where a binding material is wanted. Top it with Driveway Gravel once the base is compacted.

Around a house, RipRap armors culvert outlets and stream banks against snowmelt and heavy rain. River Rock handles decorative beds and dry creek beds that also carry runoff. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, and Mason Sand fills paver joints and block work.

Ground and Conditions in Forestport

Plan the working season first. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops base work for a longer stretch of the year than downstate, and thawing ground stays soft into spring. That makes late spring through fall the window for compacting item 4 or crusher run.

The ground under it is thin, sandy and stony over hard crystalline bedrock, with sand and gravel in the valleys. Rain runs quickly off that thin soil, so drainage stone matters more here than in deeper ground. Tug Hill, just west, carries bouldery, poorly drained glacial till and swamps that stay wet.

Winter is long, cold and snowy, and frost heave and boulder heave are common problems for gravel roads, drives and bases. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth. Snowmelt and heavy rain scour stream banks and gravel road edges on steep slopes, and flash floods can cut deep washouts in mountain valleys, which is where rip rap earns its place.
