Spring snowmelt and heavy rain push the Wallkill and its tributaries up fast, and clay valley ground drains slowly after.

Delivery to New Paltz and the Surrounding Area

Order online and pick your quantity by the ton or the yard. The calculator sizes the load, so you buy what the job takes and nothing extra.

Choose your delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site. New York Rock Supply delivers to New Paltz and out to Kingston, Highland, Ellenville, Saugerties and Marlboro.

Know where the truck can pull in before you order. A driveway, a lawn edge or a cleared pad all work if the truck can reach it and turn around. Spot the pile close to the work and you move less stone twice.

Materials for New Paltz Projects

Start with the landscape work, because decorative stone carries most of the outdoor projects here. Beds, borders, dry creek beds and ground cover all take a different rock, and the right one holds its shape through freeze and thaw.

For dry creek beds and heavier erosion work, Large River Rock locks together and stays put when water runs through. Round River Rock suits decorative beds and borders, and reads clean against mulch and plantings.

Walkways and play areas take 3/8" Natural Pea Gravel, a smooth stone that stays walkable underfoot. For a finer, firmer surface on garden paths, use Walkway Gravel.

Beds and tree rings hold moisture through the summer under Shredded Mulch. Where you want ground cover that lasts, stone beds beat mulch on weeding and on washout.

Then the hard-working material underneath. Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Cap it with Driveway Gravel for the surface you drive on.

For a patio, set pavers on Stone Dust, the usual New York name for screenings. Around the house, Drain Rock handles French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.

Lawns and beds go back over Top Soil, and raised beds take Garden Soil. Both go down after the base and drainage work is done.

Ground and Conditions in New Paltz

Stony glacial till covers the hills and highlands around New Paltz, and ledge rock often sits close to the surface. On the valley floor along the Wallkill, silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes drain slowly and stay wet after storms.

That ground decides your base. An under-built base on clay pumps, shifts and ruts, no matter how good the surface stone is. Dig out the soft material, bring in item 4, and compact it in lifts so the stone knits together.

Cold winters bring repeated freezing and thawing, and the silt and clay soils on valley floors are especially prone to frost heave. Frost depth runs about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

Time the work around the season. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen ground stops compaction in winter, and wet clay valley ground can stay soft into spring.

Floodwater scours stream and river banks after heavy rain, snowmelt and ice jams. Rip rap and stone fill armor those banks, culvert outlets and slopes, and New York yards grade that stone as light, medium or heavy stone fill.
