Order Gravel, Stone and Soil in Jordan, NY

New York Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Jordan, NY, and item 4 is the material most local jobs start with. It is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Around Jordan the ground is flat to gently rolling silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes. That ground moves when it is wet, so the base under a pad carries the load.

You order online, pick a quantity by the ton or yard, and a dump truck delivers to your site.

Delivery to Jordan and the Surrounding Area

Start your order online and choose the material first. Then set the quantity by the ton or yard. If you are unsure how much you need, the calculator sizes the load from your project measurements. Pick a delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site in Jordan.

Jordan sits in Onondaga County, and deliveries reach Syracuse, Clay, Cicero, Baldwinsville and La Fayette as well. Have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Bulk loads are dumped, so the driver needs room to back in and a firm place to set the bed.

Materials for Jordan Projects

Most work in Jordan starts below grade. Raising a low corner, building up a pad, or leveling a yard means fill and sub-base first, then a finish material on top. That order matters more here than the choice of surface stone.

For raising grade and filling low spots, start with Fill Dirt. It brings ground up to level before a base or topsoil goes down. On top of that, Item 4 is the compacting layer for driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Many New York yards treat Crusher Run as the same kind of material, and it works the same way where a binding base is wanted.

For a driveway, build the pad with Item 4, then surface it with Driveway Gravel over the compacted base. For a patio or walkway, bed the pavers on Stone Dust, which New York yards also call screenings. For drainage, a French drain or downspout run takes Drain Rock, with #2 stone for septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill.

Lawns and beds take Top Soil over the graded ground, with Garden Soil for raised beds and planting areas.

Ground and Conditions in Jordan

Start with the soil here, because it decides how much base you need. The ground around Jordan is silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, with drumlin hills, old beach ridges and stony glacial till rising toward the southern hills. Swampy muck fills some low areas. Clay holds water and turns soft, so a thin base over it will not stay put.

Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack in belts south and east of the lakes. Spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on flat, slow-draining clay ground. Cold, snowy winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and the lake-bed silt and clay soils are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, and clay ground can stay soft into spring. Build the base thick enough to spread the load, and give the pad a way to drain.

What is the best base under pavers in Jordan?

Item 4 is the usual choice. It is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes down over the graded ground and gets compacted before anything else. Bed the pavers on stone dust, also called screenings, which is the New York name for the fine bedding layer. The clay and silt ground here holds water, so a compacted base and a drainage path matter more than the paver choice.
