Bulk Aggregates for Patios in Mastic, NY

New York Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Mastic, NY, from item 4 and crusher run to stone dust, sand and topsoil. If you are laying a patio, the bedding under the pavers is the first order to get right. Mastic sits on sandy Long Island ground that drains fast, so what you put under the stone matters as much as the stone itself.

Ground and Conditions in Mastic

A patio base that is too thin shows itself fast here. The sandy outwash soils under Mastic drain water quickly, but the pavers above a shallow base still rock and shift within a season or two. Freeze and thaw each winter loosens the surface and moves units laid on a thin bed.

The answer is a compacted base built in lifts, with a bedding layer that holds the pavers flat. Nor'easters and tropical storms bring heavy rain and surge to low shore areas, so flatwork near the water needs drainage planned in from the start. Compaction stops when the ground is frozen or waterlogged after a storm.

Materials for Mastic Projects

Patio and flatwork work starts with the bedding layer. Stone Dust, also called screenings, is the usual New York choice: a fine, compacting material that beds pavers, flagstone and patio slabs and locks them flat. Order it for the top inch or two under the units, over a base that is already compacted.

Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it is what you build the patio base from. It goes down in lifts and compacts hard under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Many New York yards sell Crusher Run as the same kind of binding material for drives and bases.

Sand does the leveling and bedding work under slabs. Washed Sand, also called concrete sand, is used for leveling, bedding and base under slabs, and Mason Sand covers brick and block work, paver joints and play sand.

For drainage and finish work around the patio, #2 stone (also called NYS #2 stone) handles drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill, and Natural Pea Gravel suits walkways, play areas and drainage. Riprap armors stream banks, culvert outlets, slopes and shorelines against runoff, waves and ice.
