Materials for Old Forge Projects

Base and driveway work leads everything here. Item 4 compacts into a tight, binding layer that frost and spring thaw cannot easily pry apart. Top it with Driveway Gravel for a clean running surface.

Some yards sell Crusher Run and item 4 as the same kind of material. Both bind and compact. Ask which one your crew wants before you order.

• Item 4: driveways, parking pads, patio and shed bases.
• Crusher Run: base and drives where a binding, compacting material is wanted.
• 3/4" Crushed Stone, sold as #2 stone: drainage, septic beds, pipe bedding and backfill.
• Stone Dust: paver, flagstone and patio bedding, and fine pathways.
• RipRap: stream bank, culvert outlet and slope armoring against runoff and ice.

Washed stone sizes run down from #2 stone. 3/8" Crushed Stone, sold as #1 stone, beds pipe and tops a compacted base. Drain Rock handles French drains and drywells, and #57 Stone covers drainage and concrete aggregate.

Sand and soil finish the job. Mason Sand sets brick, block and paver joints. Top Soil rebuilds a lawn over stony ground, and Garden Soil fills raised beds.

River Rock and Large River Rock dress beds and build dry creek beds where runoff crosses a yard. Shredded Mulch holds moisture in beds through the summer.

Ground and Conditions in Old Forge

Water drives every material choice here. A deep snowpack piles up over winter, heaviest where lake-effect snow rolls off Lake Ontario, then melts fast in spring and swells the streams.

Rain runs quickly off thin soil over hard crystalline bedrock. Where the ground is poorly drained glacial till, it stays wet. Plan drainage first, then base.

Snowmelt and heavy rain scour stream banks and gravel road edges on steep slopes. Flash floods cut deep washouts in mountain valleys. RipRap and stone fill armor those banks and ditch lines.

Frost heave and boulder heave push gravel roads and drives apart. Frost depth is usually about 4 feet down for footings, and the local building department sets the exact depth. Builds here run long and cold, and frozen ground stops base work for a stretch each year. Thawing ground stays soft into spring, so compact early or wait it out.

Delivery to Old Forge and the Surrounding Area

Bulk material arrives by dump truck. Pick your ton or yard at checkout, then choose a delivery date. The truck tips the load where you want it, so have the drop spot clear and firm.

Keep the approach wide enough for a truck and free of low limbs and parked cars. Mark anything you do not want driven over: septic covers, well heads, buried lines.
