Ground here is stony, silty glacial till over shale and sandstone. That decides what goes under your pavers and slabs.

Ground and Conditions in Georgetown

A thin base fails first on this ground. Walk behind a patio after spring thaw and you feel soft spots where the subsoil stayed wet. The pavers rock, joints open, and edges drop.

Most upland soils here carry a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface. Heavy rain also runs fast off the hillsides into narrow valleys. Water needs somewhere to go under your flatwork, not through it.

The fix is a thicker compacted base over a drainage layer, built while the ground is workable. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and hillside sites and back roads stay soft into spring.

Frost matters too. Wet silty till heaves and turns soft as frost leaves the ground. Footings here usually go about 4 feet down, though the local building department sets the exact depth.

Materials for Georgetown Projects

Start with the base. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it carries driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Compact it in lifts and it locks up hard.

Then bed the pavers. Stone dust, also called screenings, is the usual New York bedding under pavers, flagstone and patio stone, and on fine pathways. It packs tight and levels true.

Sand works for the same jobs where you want a looser bed. Use mason sand for brick and block work, paver joints and play sand, or washed sand for leveling and bedding under slabs.

Move water away from the edge of the work. Drain rock handles French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs, and #2 stone covers drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. Both fit a patio that sits on wet till.

Around the yard, Driveway Gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted Item 4 base, and RipRap armors stream banks, culvert outlets and slopes against fast runoff. For beds and borders, River Rock and Top Soil finish the job.
