Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Geneva, NY

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Geneva, NY, the ground under your project decides what you need. Much of this ground is flat to gently rolling silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, with drumlin hills and stony till rising toward the southern hills. That clay holds water, so an under-built base moves. New York Rock Supply delivers bulk material by the ton, and item 4 is the compacting subbase most Geneva work starts from.

Delivery to Geneva and the Surrounding Area

You order online, pick your material, and choose a quantity by the ton or yard. If you are unsure how much a pad or drive needs, the calculator sizes the load for you.

At checkout you pick a delivery date, and a dump truck brings the material to your site. Geneva sits in Ontario County, and we also deliver to Farmington, Canandaigua, West Bloomfield, Victor and Phelps.

Bulk loads get dropped where the truck can reach, so think about where you want the pile before the driver arrives. Spreading is your crew's job, so plan the drop spot close to the work.

Materials for Geneva Projects

Most jobs here start with raising grade or building a pad, and that is fill and sub-base work. The order below follows the project, not the yard.

Driveways and parking pads

Start with Fill Dirt to raise low spots and bring the grade up. Then compact a base of Item 4, the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.

Patios, pavers and shed pads

Bed pavers and flagstone on Stone Dust, the usual New York name for screenings. For a shed or patio base, compact Crusher Run first. Many New York yards sell crusher run and Item 4 as the same kind of material.

Drains and wet ground

French drains and downspout runs take Drain Rock. For septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill, use 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as #2 stone.

Ground and Conditions in Geneva

The lake-bed silt and clay here are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw. Cold, snowy winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack. Spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on flat, slow-draining clay ground.

That is why depth and drainage matter more than the surface stone you see. Fill dirt brings the grade up, Item 4 goes down in lifts and gets compacted, and a drainage layer carries water away from the base. Skip that and the base pumps and rut when the clay stays soft into spring.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, so timing the pour and the base matters as much as the material.

Questions Geneva Buyers Ask

What is the best base under pavers in Geneva?

Compact a base of Item 4 or crusher run first, then bed the pavers on stone dust, also called screenings. The clay soils here hold water, so the compacted base and the bedding layer both need to drain. Bedding straight onto soft clay leads to settling and uneven pavers after a thaw.
