Materials for Irvington Projects

Washed stone carries water away from a house. That is the job most Irvington orders are built around: French drains, drywells and downspout runs that move roof and footing water off the lot.

Start coarse and work down. Each size below does a different piece of the drainage work.

• #4 Crushed Stone for heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.
• Drain Rock for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.
• #57 Stone for drainage, French drains and concrete aggregate. Some New York yards sell this size range as a #1 and #2 blend.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold locally as #2 stone, for drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill.
• 3/8" Crushed Stone, sold locally as #1 stone, for fine drainage, pipe bedding, walkways and topping over a compacted base.

For a driveway or parking pad, item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. Many yards sell crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of material, so ask for the one your contractor specified. Top either with Driveway Gravel.

Bedding and finishing materials round out an order. Stone dust, also called screenings, sets paver, flagstone and patio bedding. Natural Pea Gravel, also called pea stone, suits walkways, play areas and drainage. Rip rap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, slopes and shorelines against runoff, waves and ice.

Order online. Choose your quantity by the ton or by the yard, then run the calculator to size the load for your area. Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk loads need room to spread and a surface that will take the weight.

Ground and Conditions in Irvington

Time the work around the season. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and wet clay valley ground can stay soft into spring.

Stony glacial till covers the hills and highlands, where ledge rock is often close to the surface. Many valley floors along the Hudson, Wallkill and Mohawk carry silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes.

That mix drives the drainage plan. Clay and silt drain slowly and hold water after storms, so washed stone and a proper drainage layer matter more here than on open sand.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and the silt and clay soils on valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Floodwater scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams. Rip rap and large river rock hold those banks and shorelines in place.

What gravel is best for a driveway in Irvington?

Start with item 4. It is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it locks up hard under a driveway or parking pad. Top it with driveway gravel for the wearing surface.
