Materials for Hillsdale Projects

Decorative rock does the heavy lifting on most Hillsdale yards. Beds, borders and dry creek beds all start with the right stone. Pick the material by the job.

For a driveway, start with Item 4. It compacts hard and locks together as a subbase. Top it with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface. Many New York yards sell crusher run and Item 4 as the same kind of material, so either name gets you a binding base.

For a patio, bed the pavers in stone dust, also called screenings. Order Stone Dust for a tight, level setting bed. Set the base below it with Item 4.

For a drain or a wet corner, use washed stone. Drain Rock carries water away from footing drains and downspout runs. 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold around here as #2 stone, works for septic beds and pipe bedding.

For beds and dry creek beds, reach for the decorative stone. River Rock covers borders and dry creek beds. Large River Rock handles heavier erosion and decorative work. For walkways and play areas, 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, stays walkable and drains well.

Ground and Conditions in Hillsdale

Stony glacial till covers the hills around Hillsdale, and ledge rock often sits close to the surface. Valley floors carry silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes. That mix changes how a base performs.

Clay and silt drain slowly and stay wet after storms. An under-built base on that ground pumps, shifts and ruts. Build the base thick enough and compact it in lifts while the ground is dry.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing. Silt and clay soils on valley floors are prone to frost heave, which lifts a thin drive or slab and cracks it. Frost depth runs about 4 feet down for footings here, and the local building department sets the exact depth for your project.

Time base and driveway work from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and wet clay valley ground can stay soft into spring. Floodwater also scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets and slopes against that runoff.

Questions About Ordering in Hillsdale

How much material will my project need?

It depends on the area, the depth and the material. You do not need to do the math yourself. Enter your measurements in the calculator and it returns the quantity in tons or yards. Then choose that quantity at checkout. Order a little extra for compaction and settling on a base layer, and for spillage around a bed or bank.
