Materials for Hollis Projects

Start with soil and fill. Most Hollis lots sit on sandy ground, so bed prep and grading come first. Fill Dirt raises grade and backfills low spots before anything else goes down. Screened Topsoil and Garden Soil go over it for lawns, beds and raised plantings.

Then the base. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. It carries driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Crusher Run does the same job where a binding, compacting material is wanted. Many New York yards sell the two as the same kind of stone.

Washed stone handles water. #2 stone, the New York name for 3/4 inch crushed stone, goes into drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. #57 Stone covers French drains and concrete aggregate. Drain Rock runs downspouts and foundation drains.

Sand and decorative stone finish the work. Mason Sand beds brick and block and fills paver joints. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. Stone Dust, also called screenings, beds pavers and flagstone. River Rock and Large River Rock build dry creek beds and borders.

Ground and Conditions in Hollis

Start with where the water goes. Nor'easters and tropical storms drop heavy rain on Queens. Away from the shore, the sandy moraine and outwash soils under Long Island take in that rainwater quickly, so a Hollis yard drains better than most.

Fast drainage still needs a plan. Run roof water and downspouts into a stone layer, not against a foundation. #2 stone or Drain Rock gives that water somewhere to sit before it moves.

Winter still bites. The ocean keeps winters milder than upstate, but the ground freezes and thaws each winter. That cycle loosens gravel surfaces and shifts pavers laid on a thin base. Frozen or waterlogged ground stops compaction during cold snaps and after big storms, so time base and paver work around them.

Footings follow the code. The New York City Building Code calls for at least 4 feet, and Long Island building departments set their own depth. Check with your local official before you pour.
