What holds a steep slope or a washing bank in Morris? Coarse stone, placed where the water hits first.

The hills here shed water fast, so the right stone does the work.

Materials for Morris Projects

Erosion is the first job on most hillside properties around Morris. Creeks rise fast, culvert outlets scour, and bare soil on a steep grade washes out in one heavy storm. Coarse stone is what armored those spots, so start at the heavy end and work down to the fine material.

For a swale or a ditch that carries water off a slope, RipRap is the coarse stone to start with. It locks together, holds its place under fast flow, and shrugs off the ice that comes with a freeze and thaw cycle.

Below that, #4 Crushed Stone and #57 Stone handle trench work and drainage beds. Sizes in between get sold locally as #2 stone and #1 stone for pipe bedding and fine drainage. Drain Rock is the pick for French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Once the water is handled, the finer material goes on top. Stone Dust beds pavers and flagstone and makes a firm path. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, patio bases and shed floors.

Ground and Conditions in Morris

Timing matters as much as material here. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and hillside sites and back roads can stay soft and wet well into spring, so a load that arrives too early can sit until the ground firms up.

Stony, silty glacial till over layered shale and sandstone covers most of the hills around Morris. Many upland soils carry a dense subsoil layer that holds water near the surface, while valley floors carry gravel, sand and silt. Long, cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and wet silty till can heave and turn soft as the frost comes out in spring.

That is why drainage stone and a compacted base matter on both sides of the hill: fast runoff on the slopes, and water sitting near the surface on the flatter uplands after rain and snowmelt. Riprap and stone fill hold the banks and ditches, and clean washed stone moves the rest of the water away from the base.
