Delivery to Mount Marion and the Surrounding Area

You order online, choose a quantity by the ton or the yard, and pick a delivery date at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your site. If you are working in Kingston, New Paltz, Highland, Ellenville or Saugerties, that same setup covers you.

Get the pile close to where it goes in. A truck needs a clear, firm spot to dump, so flag the drop point before the driver arrives. On soft spring ground, a load set too far out means wheelbarrow work you did not plan for.

Materials for Mount Marion Projects

The bulk of what leaves the yard here is fill and sub-base: material that raises grade and builds a pad. If you are filling a low spot or leveling a building pad, Fill Dirt goes down first. It brings rough ground up to grade before anything structural sits on it.

Over that, Item 4 is the standard New York subbase stone. It compacts hard and locks together, which is why it carries driveways, parking pads and patio bases. Some yards call the same kind of material crusher run, and you will hear both names on a job site.

For a patio, set the pavers on Stone Dust. New York yards call screenings stone dust, and it beds pavers and flagstone flat. Round out a walkway or play area with 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel.

For a drain, size the stone to the pipe and the water. #2 stone handles septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill, and #57 stone works for French drains and concrete aggregate.

Ground and Conditions in Mount Marion

Start with the soil, because it decides whether your base holds. Valley floors along the Wallkill carry silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes. That ground drains slowly and stays wet after storms.

Wet clay under a thin base pumps and rutting follows. Excavate until you hit firm material, then build the subbase up in lifts and compact each one. A base that was never compacted will not carry a truck.

Cold winters here bring repeated freezing and thawing, and the silt and clay valley soils are prone to frost heave. Frost depth runs about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall, since frozen ground stops compaction in winter.

Floodwater scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams. Riprap armors those banks, culvert outlets and slopes against runoff and ice.
