Large River Rock, Stone and Soil Delivery in New York, NY

Nor'easters and tropical storms drive heavy rain, high tides and storm surge into low shore areas. That water has to go somewhere, and coarse stone is what moves it. New York Rock Supply delivers gravel and aggregate delivery in New York, NY, from item 4 up to rip rap and large river rock.

Sandy glacial soils across Brooklyn, Queens and southern Staten Island soak up rain fast. Where ground is paved or graded tight, runoff still needs an outlet. Pick the stone for the job, size the load, and set your delivery date at checkout.

Materials for New York Projects

Start with the coarsest stone when water, slope or bank protection is the problem. Work down in size from there for bedding, base and surface.

• RipRap: armors stream banks, culvert outlets, slopes and shorelines against runoff, waves and ice.
• Large River Rock: heavy decorative and erosion work, dry creek beds and border stone.
• Railroad Ballast: hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where water moves fast.
• #4 Crushed Stone: heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms.
• Drain Rock: French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs.
• Item 4: driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. The standard New York name for compacting subbase stone.

Finer sizes finish the work. Stone Dust beds pavers and flagstone and makes fine pathways. Washed Sand levels and beds under slabs. River Rock dresses beds and borders, and Top Soil covers the planting areas once the stone is set.

Ground and Conditions in New York

Manhattan, the Bronx and parts of Staten Island carry sandy glacial till over hard bedrock that sits close to the surface in places. Long Island, including much of Brooklyn and Queens, is sand and gravel left by glacial moraines and outwash plains. Digging is easy, holding a slope is not.

The milder coastal climate leaves more of the year open for base and paver work than upstate. Cold snaps and big storms still stop compaction on frozen or waterlogged ground. Plan the pour and the base around that window.

Winters loosen gravel surfaces and shift pavers laid on a thin base. Frost depth runs at least 4 feet for footings under the New York City Building Code, and Long Island building departments set their own depth. Build the base deep enough that a thaw does not undo the work.
