Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Fort Edward, NY

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Fort Edward, NY without leaving the job. New York Rock Supply sells bulk material online by the ton or yard, and a dump truck drops it at your site. Start with item 4 for a driveway base. Valley floors here carry silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, so the ground under that base matters as much as the stone.

Materials for Fort Edward Projects

Driveways and parking pads lead the list. Build the base first, then surface it. Everything below is sold in bulk and delivered.

• Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. Use it under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases.
• Crusher Run is the same kind of binding, compacting material, and many New York yards sell the two names side by side.
• Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted item 4 base.
• Walkway Gravel gives paths a finer, walkable surface.

Washed stone handles water. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as #2 stone, goes into drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill. 3/8" Crushed Stone, sold as #1 stone, covers fine drainage, pipe bedding and topping over a compacted base. Drain Rock serves French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand beds brick, block and pavers and fills paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Top Soil preps lawns and beds over the stony glacial ground that covers the hills here. Fill Dirt raises grade and fills low spots before a base or topsoil goes down.

Ground and Conditions in Fort Edward

Water drives everything here. Spring snowmelt, ice jams and heavy rain from coastal storms and tropical systems raise the Hudson, the Mohawk and their tributaries. Clay and silt on the valley floors drain slowly and stay wet after storms.

That slow drainage changes how you build a drive. A compacted item 4 base over wet clay needs a drainage layer to move water away, or the stone pumps and rutts. On the hills, ledge rock often sits close to the surface, so excavation is shallow and the base rides on rock.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and the silt and clay soils on valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Timing matters. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and wet clay valley ground can stay soft into spring.
