Materials for Norwood Projects

Drainage drives most of what gets ordered around here. Fine silt and clay hold water, so the answer is washed stone that lets water pass instead of trapping it. Sizes run from coarse to fine depending on the job.

Riprap handles the biggest water. Use it on stream banks, culvert outlets and shorelines that take wave and ice damage. RipRap locks together in a heavy layer that resists runoff and ice push.

Drain rock and #4 crushed stone work under the surface. Drop them in French drains, drywells, foundation drains and downspout runs so water has somewhere to go other than your yard. See Drain Rock and #4 Crushed Stone.

#57 stone and #2 stone sit in the middle. New York yards sell the 3/4 inch size as #2 stone, and it suits septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill. #57 Stone is a common pick for French drains and concrete aggregate. 3/4" Crushed Stone is the same family of material.

Finer washed stone finishes tight work. #1 stone, the 3/8 inch size at New York yards, goes over a compacted base on walkways and around pipe. 3/8" Crushed Stone and #8 Crushed Stone both fit joints and tight bedding.

Item 4 still belongs under everything that carries weight. It is the standard New York name for compacting subbase stone, and it goes under driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases. Item 4 compacts hard once it is watered and rolled.

A dump truck brings the material to your site and places it where you want it dropped. Have the access clear and the spot marked. Frozen ground stops compaction, so time a base or driveway load for workable conditions.

Ground and Conditions in Norwood

Plan around the working season. Base and driveway work runs from spring thaw into fall. Frozen ground stops compaction through winter, and the flat clay ground can stay wet and soft well into spring.

Long, very cold winters bring hard freezing and thawing. The clay and silt soils here are prone to severe frost heave and turn soft and weak when wet. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth.

That is why drainage matters before surfacing. A washed stone layer under the base gives meltwater a path out, and it keeps the subgrade from pumping when the ground is saturated. On the drumlin hills and the sandy delta ground, water moves faster and the timing is easier.
