Ground and Conditions in Hurley

A patio base that is too thin shows itself fast. The pavers rock at the corners, joints open, and the surface dips where water sits. In Hurley the cause is usually the ground under it, not the pavers.

Stony glacial till covers the hills here, and ledge rock is often close to the surface. On the valley floor along the Wallkill, silt and clay left by old glacial lakes drain slowly and stay wet after storms. Rip out the soft material, then build up in lifts and compact each one.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and the silt and clay soils on valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. The local building department sets the exact footing depth, usually about 4 feet down. Keep the base coarse and free draining so meltwater has somewhere to go.

Materials for Hurley Projects

For a patio, a walkway or any flatwork, the bedding layer is what holds the surface flat. Stone dust, also called screenings or stone screenings, is the usual New York choice for paver, flagstone and patio bedding. It compacts hard and locks the stones in place.

Under that bedding, a compacted base carries the load. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Many yards sell it as the same kind of material as crusher run.

Wet ground needs drainage before anything else goes down. Drain rock handles French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs. For a drainage layer under a patio or a set of steps, #2 stone is the local name for 3/4 inch crushed stone, and #1 stone is the local name for 3/8 inch crushed stone.
