Materials for Locust Valley Projects

On Long Island, water is the thing that moves. Storm runoff off a graded lot has to go somewhere, and the wrong stone at the bottom of a slope just washes out. Work from the coarsest material down to the finest and the choices stay simple.

Rip rap takes the energy out of moving water at the outlet, on the bank and along an eroding edge. Stone fill, sold as light, medium or heavy stone fill, is the same idea graded for slope, bank and ditch stabilization.

Behind that, drain rock carries water away from a foundation or a downspout, and #2 stone does the heavy work under a septic bed or pipe. Sizes run finer from there, so match the stone to the gap it has to fill.

Every base layer sits on Item 4, compacted in lifts before anything goes over it. Under that base, #1 stone handles fine drainage and paving bedding.

Sand finishes the job. Washed sand levels and beds under slabs, and mason sand fills paver joints and block work.

Delivery to Locust Valley and the Surrounding Area

Order online, choose your quantity by the ton or the yard, then pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your site in Locust Valley and sets it where the driver can reach safely.

New York Rock Supply covers Locust Valley and the rest of Nassau County. Deliveries also reach Hempstead, Levittown, Freeport, Hicksville and Valley Stream.

Have the drop spot cleared before the truck arrives. Bulk stone comes off the bed in one push, so a firm, level area near the work keeps the pile usable and out of the street.

Ground and Conditions in Locust Valley

The working season here runs longer than upstate because the ocean keeps winters milder. That does not mean the ground cooperates all year. Frozen or waterlogged ground stops compaction during cold snaps and after big storms.

Time a delivery around that. If the subgrade is saturated, it will not lock up under a plate compactor no matter how good the stone is.

Most Long Island ground is sand and gravel left by glacial moraines and outwash plains. That sandy soil takes in rainwater quickly, which is good news away from the water.

It also means the winter freeze and thaw loosens gravel surfaces and shifts pavers set on a thin base. Build the base to hold through that cycle and the surface stays put.
