Kendall sits in Orleans County on flat lake plain ground. Silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes hold spring melt and heavy rain near the surface. Plan the grade before you plan the load.

Materials for Kendall Projects

Soil and fill carry most Kendall jobs. Grade comes first, then beds, then a base for anything you park on. Build the layers in order and each one does its job.

Soil, Fill and Mulch

Fill dirt, also called common fill, raises grade and fills low spots before anything else goes down. Use it to bring a lawn or pad up to level. Fill Dirt goes under a base or under topsoil, never on top.

Screened topsoil, called topsoil here, covers that fill for lawn and bed prep. It is screened to spread and seed cleanly. Top Soil is the finish layer, so keep it out of the compaction zone.

Garden soil feeds raised beds and planting areas. It holds moisture better than plain topsoil and works straight into a bed. Garden Soil suits vegetable beds and shrub borders. Shredded Mulch goes over the top of beds and tree rings to hold moisture through summer.

Base and Surfacing Stone

Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone. It goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Item 4 locks up under a plate or roller and carries the load above it.

Crusher run does the same work where you want a binding, compacting material. Many New York yards treat crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of stone. Crusher Run is a sound choice under a drive or slab.

Driveway gravel surfaces an existing drive or tops a compacted item 4 base. Driveway Gravel gives you the wearing course. For paths, walkway gravel is finer and easier underfoot. Walkway Gravel sits well over a compacted base.

Washed Stone, Sand and Decorative

Washed stone moves water. #2 stone, also called nys #2 stone or 3/4 inch crushed stone, suits drainage, septic beds and pipe bedding. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the size most local yards stock for that work.

#57 stone handles drainage, French drains and concrete aggregate. #57 Stone is a common blend of the #1 and #2 size ranges. Drain rock is cut for French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Drain Rock keeps water moving away from a foundation.

Stone dust, also called screenings, beds pavers and flagstone and finishes fine pathways. Stone Dust packs tight under a patio. Mason sand does brick and block work and paver joints. Mason Sand also works as play sand. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs. Washed Sand is also called concrete sand.

For beds and borders, river rock and Natural Pea Gravel finish the job. River Rock covers decorative beds and dry creek beds. Large River Rock takes heavier erosion and decorative work.

Ground and Conditions in Kendall

Water drives every decision here. Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack. Spring melt and heavy rain then sit on flat, slow-draining clay ground.

That standing water is why drainage stone matters as much as base stone. #2 stone and drain rock give meltwater somewhere to go instead of pooling at a foundation or under a drive. Run it to daylight or into a drywell.

Frost heave is real on these lake-bed silt and clay soils. They swell when they freeze and turn soft when they thaw. Frost depth usually runs about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth. Compaction locks a base together so it sheds water instead of pumping.

Timing matters too. 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 well into spring. Watch the thaw before you schedule a load of item 4.

Along the lake, waves, ice and high water wear bluffs and beaches. Creeks scour their banks during snowmelt and heavy rain. Riprap armor holds those slopes, culvert outlets and shorelines against runoff, waves and ice. RipRap is the stone for that work.
