What is the difference between crushed stone and Natural Pea Gravel?

Crushed stone has angular, broken faces, so it locks together and compacts. Item 4, #2 stone and #57 stone are crushed and pack into a firm base or a stable drainage layer. Natural Pea Gravel is round and smooth, so it stays loose and shifts underfoot. Use it for walkways, play areas and decorative beds, not as a base.

Should I order material by the ton or by the yard?

You can order either way, and the site calculator converts between them for you. Order by the ton for base and drainage stone sold by weight. Order by the yard for soil, sand and mulch, which are easier to picture as volume. Enter your dimensions in the calculator, then pick the unit that reads clearly for your job.

Planning a driveway rebuild, a patio base, or a drainage run? Start with gravel, stone and aggregate delivery in Genesee County, NY from New York Rock Supply.

Flat ground of silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes means water sits where it falls. Order online and a dump truck brings the load to your site.

Item 4 is the workhorse. It compacts hard, binds together and carries a driveway or a slab.

Washed stone covers the drainage side. #57 stone, #1 stone and #2 stone handle French drains, septic beds and pipe bedding. Drain Rock suits foundation drains and downspout runs, and RipRap armors banks and culvert outlets. For clay ground that holds water, a washed layer under the base moves water off the subgrade.

Sand and soil round out the order. Washed Sand beds and levels under slabs, and Garden Soil feeds raised beds. Decorative work takes River Rock for beds and dry creek beds, and Shredded Mulch for tree rings and borders.

Ground Conditions Across Genesee County

Water drives the material choice here. Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack in belts south and east of the lakes. Spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on flat, slow-draining clay ground.

That standing water is why a drainage layer matters under a base. On clay, water has nowhere to go, so a washed stone blanket keeps the subgrade from turning soft and pumping under load. Compact in lifts and keep water moving away from the work.

Frost heave is real in lake-bed silt and clay, and the ground turns soft when it thaws. Winters swing above and below freezing often. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, and clay ground can stay soft into spring. Plan the pour or the top course around that window, not against it.

Erosion work follows the water too. Waves, ice and high water wear bluffs and beaches along Lake Erie, the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, and creeks scour their banks during snowmelt and heavy rain. RipRap and stone fill stabilize those slopes.

Choosing the Right Material

Ground next door changes the call. Erie County and Niagara County sit in the same ground zone as Genesee, flat to gently rolling silt, clay and sand with drumlin hills and muck in low spots. The ground is similar, so the base and drainage choice is similar. Projects differ more than soils do.

Wyoming County is the contrast. Its hills carry stony, silty till and upland soils with a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface. Where that layer sits high, drainage stone earns its place before base stone goes down. Valley floors there carry gravel, sand and silt.

Match the material to the job. Use Item 4 or crusher run under drives, pads and slabs. Use #2 stone, drain rock or #57 stone where water must move. Use stone dust for paver bedding and mason sand for joints. Use topsoil and garden soil last, over a finished grade.
