Ground here is flat to gently rolling silt, clay and sand left by old glacial lakes, with drumlin hills and old beach ridges rising toward the southern hills. That ground drains slowly, and it shapes which stone you want.

Materials for Newfane Projects

Erosion work leads here. Waves, ice and high water wear the Lake Ontario shoreline, and creeks scour their banks during snowmelt. Coarse, open-graded stone is what holds a slope, lines a swale and armors a bank. We work from coarsest to finest.

Riprap is the heavy end, for stream banks, culvert outlets, slope and shoreline armoring against runoff, waves and ice. See RipRap.

Next down, #4 crushed stone handles heavy drainage, construction entrances and trench bottoms. See #4 Crushed Stone.

Railroad ballast is the other hard, coarse option: hard standing, track beds and severe drainage where water moves fast. See Railroad Ballast.

For the decorative and shoreline side, large river rock builds dry creek beds and takes on heavier erosion work. See Large River Rock. Plain river rock suits borders and lighter beds, and drain rock covers French drains, drywells and downspout runs. Then come the finer grades.

#2 stone is the size New York yards sell as 3/4 inch crushed stone, used for drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill. One step down, #1 stone covers fine drainage, pipe bedding and walkways. Stone dust, also called screenings, beds pavers and flagstone.

Item 4 is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it belongs under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Many yards sell crusher run and Item 4 as the same kind of material. Top off a compacted base with driveway gravel, or use walkway gravel for finer paths. Screened topsoil, garden soil, mason sand, washed sand, fill dirt and shredded mulch round out the load.

Delivery to Newfane and the Surrounding Area

Order online and choose your quantity by the ton or the yard. The calculator sizes the load for the area you are covering, so you are not guessing at a number. Pick your delivery date at checkout and a dump truck brings the material to your site.

Newfane sits in Niagara County, and we deliver across the county, including Niagara Falls, North Tonawanda, Lockport, Lewiston and Middleport.

Have a clear, firm spot for the truck to drop. A driveway apron or a packed pad on site works best, and it should be reachable without backing through soft ground. Tell us where you want the pile so the driver can place it near the work instead of at the street.

Ground and Conditions in Newfane

Plan the season before you plan the stone. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into late fall. Frozen, snow-covered ground stops compaction through the winter, and clay ground can stay soft well into spring.

Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario builds a heavy snowpack in belts south and east of the lakes. Spring melt and heavy rain leave water standing on flat, slow-draining clay ground. That standing water is why drainage layers matter as much as the surface here.

Cold, snowy winters bring frequent freezing and thawing, and the lake-bed silt and clay soils are prone to frost heave and turn soft when they thaw. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

So time your delivery to ground you can actually compact. Coarse stone, from riprap on a bank down to drain rock in a trench, moves water away before it sits. Book the load when the ground is workable and the pile will go down where you need it.
