Materials Delivered Across New York

New York yards describe stone by size and by the local name, and that is how the material is organized here, coarsest to finest. Item 4 is the base stone New York crews order most for driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Crusher run covers the same jobs where a binding, compacting material is wanted, and many New York yards sell the two as the same kind of stone.

Mid sizes include #57 Stone for French drains and concrete aggregate, #67 Stone for smaller drainage work, and #8 Crushed Stone for paver joints. For finer drainage and tight bedding, order #89 Crushed Stone. Railroad Ballast handles hard standing and severe drainage.

On the fine end, Stone Dust is the New York name for screenings, and it beds pavers and flagstone. 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways and play areas. Mason Sand serves brick and block work, Washed Sand beds slabs, and Top Soil and Garden Soil finish lawns and raised beds.

Ground and Climate Across New York

Timing a delivery starts with the working season. It runs longest near the coast and shortest in the Adirondacks, Tug Hill and the northern valleys. Upstate, frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and thawing clay or silt stays soft into spring. Plan the base work for the dry stretch on either side.

Ground changes what you order. In New York City and on Long Island, glacial moraine and outwash leave sand and gravel, and coastal storms and storm surge drive flooding. Hudson Valley, Capital Region and Mohawk Valley floors carry silt, clay and sand from old glacial lakes, while snowmelt, ice jams and river flooding lead there. The Southern Tier, Catskills and Finger Lakes hills have a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface, and flash floods hit the steep valleys. Lake Erie and Lake Ontario lowlands hold silt, clay and lake-effect snowmelt. The Adirondacks and Tug Hill have thin, stony soil, and the St. Lawrence and Champlain valleys have sea-laid clay.

Erosion follows the same map. Ocean and Sound waves wear Long Island and city shorelines, waves and ice wear the lake and river shores, and fast creeks scour banks in the hill regions. Frost depth is mildest near the coast and most severe in the north and mountains, and New York City requires footings at least 4 feet down while local building departments set the depth elsewhere.
