This ground is stony, silty glacial till over shale and sandstone, and the dense subsoil holds water near the surface. That is why so much of what leaves our yard up here is drainage stone.

Materials for Maryland Projects

Around here, water is the job. Hillside runoff hits narrow valleys fast, and upland soils sit wet after rain and snowmelt. A French drain, a drywell or a downspout run only works if the stone around it stays open and lets water move. That is the whole point of washed material.

We list the stone by size, coarsest to finest, because size is what decides where it goes.

Drain rock is the workhorse for a French drain or a drywell, and the coarser #4 crushed stone goes in trench bottoms and heavy drainage where you need void space that will not choke up. New York yards sell #57 stone for the same kind of work at a smaller size, and it doubles as concrete aggregate.

At the fine end, #8 crushed stone handles tight drainage and paver joints. Stone dust, which many yards call screenings, is the bedding for pavers, flagstone and patios, and it packs down firm under a walkway.

For the drive itself, item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it is what goes under driveways, parking pads and shed bases. Many yards sell crusher run and item 4 as the same kind of material, and both bind and compact. Top a compacted item 4 base with Driveway Gravel for the wearing surface.

Where a creek bank, culvert outlet or ditch scours out during a flash flood, RipRap is the armor. On slopes you are planting instead, Top Soil gives you a screened base over that stony till.

Ground and Conditions in Maryland

Base and driveway work here runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction, and hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet into spring. Time a delivery for when the ground will take the truck and the stone will actually lock up.

The frost goes about 4 feet down for footings, as the local building department sets the exact depth. Wet silty till heaves and turns soft as that frost comes out of the ground, so a driveway built on it moves. Compacting item 4 in lifts while the subgrade is firm is what keeps a drive where you put it.

Water is the other side of it. Creeks here rise fast and scour banks and culvert outlets, and bare soil on a steep slope washes out in heavy rain. That is why rip rap and a working drainage layer matter on this ground more than on flat, sandy sites.
