Materials for Freedom Projects

Landscape work around Freedom runs on decorative rock, bed material and dry creek beds. The same stone that looks right also moves water where you want it.

Decorative rock and beds

Use River Rock in beds and borders. Large River Rock suits dry creek beds and heavier erosion work. Both hold up where runoff crosses a yard.

For beds and tree rings, Shredded Mulch holds moisture through the summer. For planting areas, Garden Soil gives raised beds and beds a start.

Base and driveway stone

Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. Use it under drives, parking pads, patio bases and shed pads. Item 4 compacts and locks together. Many New York yards sell crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of material.

Top a compacted base with Driveway Gravel for an existing drive. For paths that need a finer surface, use Walkway Gravel.

Drainage and fines

Set pavement on Stone Dust, the usual New York name for screenings. Bed flagstone, pavers and patio stone on it.

For French drains and downspout runs, use Drain Rock. New York yards sell 3/4 inch crushed stone as #2 stone for drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. Rip rap, also called riprap, armors stream banks, culvert outlets and slopes against fast water and ice.

Ground and Conditions in Freedom

Stony, silty glacial till sits over layered shale and sandstone through this zone. Many upland soils have a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface. Valley floors carry gravel, sand and silt.

That dense layer is why an under-built base shows quickly. Water sits, the subgrade softens, and a thin base pumps and rutts. Build the base thick and compact it in lifts, and use washed stone for drainage layers so fines do not clog them.

Winter here is long and cold. Wet silty till can heave and turn soft as frost comes out in spring. Frost depth for footings is usually about 4 feet down, though 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. Hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring, so plan around it.
